Fond memories: Adnan Malik looks back at ‘Sadqay Tumhare’

Actor gets emotional on release of second TV project

KARACHI: Actor Adnan Malik’s latest TV outing, Dil Banjaara, debuted on the screens recently. In an emotional Facebook post written on Friday, he not only announced the airing of the new drama but also looked back at his first-ever drama serial, Sadqay Tumhare.

“Two years ago, during exactly this week, my first TV show Sadqay Tumhare happened to me. It just had some magic about it,” he wrote. “Maybe because it was the first time in my whole life that I really shed my skin, immersed myself in something so inherently traumatic for me and allowed myself to be vulnerable to the world.”

Malik went on to add more reasons to supplement an emotional argument. “And maybe also because it was based on the writer’s own experiences and I carried the burden of that pinch, of a failed loved, on my shoulders,” he said.

The former Coke Studio video producer also gave a special mention to his Sadqay Tumhare co-star Mahira Khan. “And maybe also because I got to work opposite an old friend who I inherently trusted and who nurtured the actor out of me. Whatever it was, it was still something else,” he added.

Malik said the 2014 show gave him an opportunity for tremendous personal growth. “I’m not sure what role Dil Banjaara will play in my life but I can hope that it’s at least as profound.”
