The Audition That Launched Resham to Stardom
Recently, Resham appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat,’ where she discussed competing against Maria Wasti to earn her first leading role on PTV. She recounted, “I still remember the day I auditioned for my first lead role on PTV. I used to accompany my brother to auditions and had played supporting characters before, but this was my chance to shine.
When I arrived at the studios, I saw some big names auditioning for the same role. I saw Maria Wasti there, and she was speaking in perfect English with everyone. At that time, my own Urdu wasn’t as polished, and this made me think I had little chance of getting the role.”
This role was a turning point in Resham’s career, as she was introduced with her new name (her original name Saima was dropped to avoid confusing her with Saima Khan).
Resham has worked in films like Jeeva, Ghunghat, Pal Do, Sangam, The Legend of Maula Jatt, and Gunjal.
