Rushna Khan is a talented Pakistani actress who is currently garnering praise for her character Kiran in Case No. 9. She has previously worked in hit dramas like Mohabbat Chordi Maine and Mujhe Khuda Pe Yaqeen Hai. Rushna Khan was brought up in Canada and also worked as Cabin crew for years. She is married to Geo TV’s anchor Shahzeb Khanzada who is also the writer of her ongoing drama series Case No 9.
Recently, Rushna Khan appeared in the Geo TV’s Podcast, hosted by Mubashir Hashmi. In the podcast, she opened up about getting Case No 9 offer and her experience working with Faysal Quraishi and Saba Qamar.
Talking about how she was offered Case No. 9, Rushna Khan said, “Case No. 9 was a dream project for me. The way it was written, then I acted in it, what I experienced was surreal because its set was especially designed. It was a courtroom drama, and all the actors admitted that they were doing such a drama for the first time. They all told me that it was the first time that they were working in such a setting, and this idea emerged in front of me, and then the way it was executed is something great. We should make such dramas more and more.
Talking about how she was offered, Rushna said, “I was called by 7th Sky Entertainment when they were signing the actors, and I was so happy to receive the offer, and when I heard about the cast, I got excited because they all were big names.”
Talking about Kiran’s character, she said, “Kiran is a layered character; she is quiet from the outside, but there is a storm inside her.’ Kiran and Kamran were old friends, then they got married, and then she became a mother; she is already dealing with postpartum depression when she had to face this; this was challenging to play Kiran”
Talking about working with big names, she said, “I was a bit confused when I realised I have to work with Saba Qamar and Faysal Quraishi, but I am the kind of actor who shuts off all the thoughts when I go into the scene. But with Faysal, Saba and all the actors, they made me feel so comfortable. He did not show me that I am something lesser and he’s a big star.”
Talking about Saba Qamar, she said, “Saba Qamar is a powerhouse; she is so into her work, she is so talented, and she is so hard-working. She is a combination of both. I was in awe of her; the way she performed crying scenes, she aced it. I think only Saba Qamar could do Case No. 9.”
