Striking while the iron was hot, Durefishan signed on to Jaisay Aapki Marzi as Alizeh opposite Mikaal Zulfiqar, who essayed Sherry. The 2023 show showcased the importance of consent, and the young star did not shy away from fielding questions regarding the same. While speaking about the show, Durefishan said, “I can’t wait for you all to see us talk about marzi/consent as loudly as we could have on screen.” Further talking about her character, Durefishan revealed, “Alizeh is a girl of today’s age; strong and resilient and how she copes with [the] patriarchy that is just not instilled in men but women too is what Jaisay Aapki Marzi is all about.”
