She learned a lot from her, from punctuality to the particulars of acting - how to look the part, how to turn her into someone who looked tired and exhausted on screen. Lodhi was approached by Humayun Saeed to do the project and agreed because of Marina Khan. According to Lodhi's spokesperson, the show is about how the husband misses out on a lot of bonding and happiness with his family.
A man living abroad to earn a living while his family are left behind in Pakistan is a common occurrence. The show is about people who live abroad but whose families are based back home. The storyline of Pardes is being touted as something people can connect with. But a traditional, South Asian woman is very solid - and that is who Zubaida is in this story." "These women are very calm and composed and people believe that just because they are involved in everyday domestic affairs, they might not be very intelligent. So the character is very relatable - just like the aunts we see in our homes," she said. They are very sacrificing despite the fact that life isn't very adjusting for them, but they find ways to adjust around it. "Women from desi families are very strong-headed and can do anything for their families, their homes and the people living in it.

The serial is directed by Marina Khan and produced by Humayun Saeed and Nadeem Baig under Six Sigma Plus production and is expected to release after Eid.After a three-year break from the screen, Shaista Lodhi has ventured back into acting with Marina Khan's upcoming serial Pardes.Ī spokesperson for Lodhi spoke to Images, giving an insight into the story and how her character - a woman who is home while her husband work abroad - develops with each episode. We will be seeing her in the role of a stereotypical housewife who, with time, develops dark circles because of her overworked life as a homemaker but is still a strong woman. The drama shows her character as one such woman who makes all the sacrifices for her family and the attire of her character helps her elevate her role to its true essence. A typical desi woman’s life is filled with compromises but they always find a way to adjust to their situation. She said that women from desi families sacrifice and bear everything for their families, their home, and the people they hold closest to them. Zubaida is shown as a newly married woman who then transitions through the course of life into a young mother and then an older woman and that transition and what all she goes through in these different phases in her life is what makes the drama more relatable to the Pakistani audience. Shaista Lodhi will be playing the role of a wife, Zubaida, who also resides in Pakistan with his family. The era-based drama is about a man living abroad to earn a living for his family which is back home in Pakistan.
