Nimra Khan’s parents wanted her to pursue career in media

Television actress, model, and entrepreneur Nimra Khan said in a recent interview that she chose to become an actress because her parents wanted her to pursue a career in showbiz.

“The first scene in the first television drama was recorded after 40 takes,” the actor said on Geo News program Jashan-e-Cricket. “After success in the first drama, I decided to make a career in the drama industry.”

Khan said she decided to become an artist as her parents wanted her to be a part of the entertainment industry. However, she could not find success in the media in the beginning, so she started playing squash.

The actress disclosed she had played some games with the legendary Jahangir Khan earlier on.

Explaining why she did not opt for any movie after Blind Love, the actor said, “I have a set of rules. I never perform a bold scene. I completely shirk doing irrelevant acts. I do not wear sleeveless but some films require you to wear such dresses.”

Having an education in filmmaking, Nimra took her first job as an editor but she could not do well so she quit and started playing squash.
