Veteran actor Atiqa Odho praised the exceptional talent of Pakistani stars Sajal Aly and Kinza Hashmi during a candid conversation in a recent interview. Speaking about their performances, she said both actors possess rare emotional depth and a commanding screen presence that makes them stand out whenever they appear on screen.

Expressing her admiration for their craft, she highlighted their ability to convey sorrow and emotion through their eyes with remarkable intensity. “There is something in their eyes, in their expressions, that I would call magic,” Atiqa said.

She noted that whenever the camera focuses on them, their expressions change distinctly, giving them a unique on-screen appeal. She also described their demeanour and appearance as classic and graceful.

Concluding the conversation, Atiqa said she enjoys watching both actors perform and revealed that Kinza  is among her personal favourites from the younger generation of actors.
