Actor Hajra Yamin has opened up about her approach to acting, saying she refuses to compromise on her craft and deliberately avoids repeating similar roles.
In a recent interview, Hajra said acting requires a significant emotional investment, which is why she carefully chooses her projects. She explained that once she has portrayed a particular emotion or character, she does not want to recreate it and prefers every new role to be distinct from her previous work.
The actor also spoke about the pressures of Pakistan's entertainment industry, saying actors are often overworked, which can affect the quality of storytelling and performances.
Hajra said she takes pride in building her career independently rather than being identified through repeated on-screen pairings with male co-stars. She added that she values being recognised for her own work and talent.
Reflecting on her growing female fan base, Hajra said the support she receives from women is especially meaningful and motivates her to continue taking on challenging roles. She also encouraged aspiring actors not to be afraid of turning down projects that do not align with their goals.
