“I gave my best considering how sensitive the topic is” says Reshham Sahaani on playing Ayesha in Faraaz

Reshham Sahaani took the daring step of stepping into the world of entertainment with a unique and interesting character revolving around a sensitive topic. And now, the ‘Faraaz’ actress opens up on recreating the tragedy for the screen, studying Quran, and filming sensitive scenes.

Reshham Sahaani is a strong performer well beyond her age. The actress who made her debut with Faraaz opens up about her experience going from being the girl-next-door to playing a character as sensitive and complex as Ayesha. The actress goes on to say, “While the movie is about offering a “different perspective to the dreadful Dhaka terror attack, which hasn’t been explored on-screen so far, as an actor, it’s challenging when you have to recreate a situation that caused so many people a huge amount of trauma in real life.

Reshham continues, “Because I was playing Ayesha, I had to imagine what I would do and how I would feel if I were in this situation, and honestly, all I could think about was my family. Playing such a character is emotionally draining. I remember that during our workshops, we were taught to read the Quran Shareef, and I continued to offer Namaaz every day while we were filming. I don’t know why, but it made me feel good”
