Khalid and Rukhsar turn Urdu teachers for reel daughters!

Khalid Siddiqui and Rukhsar Rehman

Jalandhar, May 26, 2018 (Akash Sharma): STAR Plus’ upcoming show, Mariam Khan – Reporting Live, is already stealing the show with its stellar cast and intriguing story line. While the show boasts about many prominent faces, Khalid Siddiqui and Rukhsar Rehman are fluent Urdu speakers as its their mother tongue.

Since Khalid and Rukhsar’s belong to Nawabi family in Mariam, it was a win-win situation for them since they already speak fluent Urdu. Urdu being a new language for the others on the show, the show’s actors, Priyanka Kandwal and Sheena Bajaj found it difficult to adapt to it.

But their reel parents came to their rescue as Rukhsar and Khalid gave Urdu lessons to Priyanka and Sheena while shooting in Bhopal. Khalid states, “we had a lot of time to kill in Bhopal due to different venues and this gave us a lot of time to bond as co-actors and on screen family. Me and Rukhsar being pros in Urdu decided to give Priyanka and Sheena Urdu lessons and taught them many words and phrases to pronounce, from the epiglottis."

Mariam Khan Reporting Live, starting 21st May, from Monday to Friday, 7.30 PM only on STAR Plus.
