“If you have a wife, then you shouldn’t have a girlfriend”: Syed Jibran
Actor Syed Jibran recently talked about his character in the drama “Daraar” and Pakhtun misrepresentation in “Mere Humnasheen”.
In a conversation with BBC Urdu, Jibran opened up about how he thinks his character Shaheer in the drama Daraar is a “realistic” portrayal of men and their vices. He said, “If you have a wife, then you shouldn’t have a girlfriend. But if you’re not married, then it’s fine. You can have girlfriend(s)”.
Talking about his character he said, “I feel like Shaheer is not a negative character. It is, in fact, very good that our stories have evolved in such a way that the traditional hero-heroine and villain situations are less common. A character does not have to spread either good or bad. My character in Daraar is going with a similar story. He’s a great guy in the beginning but he is also troublesome later”.
Talking about the extramarital affair of his character in the drama, Jibran said, “They say that wife and girlfriend are two different things, so he wanted a wife to run his house. He saw that in Irha but his heart was always on his ex-girlfriend. So Shaheer got another chance, and he got more inclined towards Sajal now”.
