Abhe bongo you should compare your self with Nepalis and not Pakistanis, thats all I was saying. You misunderstood me brother.

You seriously lack comprehension skills if you think I was comparing anybody there in my previous post. Do consider going back to school.

Brother you are again not getting it. My point was that Armeena seem to be taller then 99% of martial Indians.

I wonder why media didn't pick up on Ayesha Linnea, she's got quite glamorous looks

 

[Hurter]

She'll be grabbed by Bollywood sooner than later.

Your loss, our gain!!

I am very optimistic that she will not do any Bollywood film...

I heard she was pathetic in the movie
Can't seem to act even if her life depended on it
Just another pretty face

Her acting is not as good as other female drama actors.

she should fatten up.

Cinema's new darling: Armeena Khan

Armeena Rana Khan is set to be Pakistani cinema's newest darling —

A newcomer even in the TV industry, she has a fan following that tells us that she's clicked with the crowd. It helps that she has the face of an angel and is cast in roles that match.

In her debut film, Bin Roye that opened this Eid, her role is a small one, but she's enjoying the spotlight all the same. We'll also soon see her shine in the ensemble cast of Yalghaar and play the female lead in Jaanan.

Dawn.com talks to Armeena Rana Khan about Bin Roye and other dramas, Bollywood and the future.

Dawn: Tell us a little bit about Armeena Khan pre-stardom. You were studying business in Manchester when you stumbled into modeling/acting. Could you tell us more about how you broke into the entertainment industry?

Armeena Khan: Yes, I was studying for my honours degree in Business at Manchester when I was offered to do some modeling on the side.

I always had an inner regard for acting and the creative industries but at the time I was more focused on completing my studies. But when my work began to encompass music videos and short films, I discovered my passion for acting and was lucky to be offered a Bollywood art house film, some short films in the UK and also a couple of dramas in Pakistan. My initial results were mixed as I learnt my craft. Since then I have been fortunate enough to have a couple of my short films screened at Cannes and I went on to study acting at Pinewood and Ealing in London.

Dawn: You've lived in Canada, the UK and Pakistan... where are you based now, and where do you think your ventures will take you in the near future?

Armeena: I am based in the UK because it is such a great travel hub and makes it easy to visit my family in Canada or travel for work to the States and South Asia.

In terms of the future, I am planning on furthering my work in the UK and the US by pursuing more English-speaking roles and exploring ideas that will help me grow as a professional.

Dawn: You've acted in music videos, TV dramas and films, as well as modelled on the runway and for print. Do you want to keep your portfolio this diverse or do you plan to focus on one of these mediums in the future?

Armeena: As an actor, you try to avail interesting opportunities as they arise. So you accept sensible roles as well as projects that take you out of your comfort zone. But make no mistake, I am first and foremost an actor. I pursue other avenues because deep down I am an explorer and am intrigued by interesting ideas and the people behind them. This is the reason behind the diversity in my work and I will keep on exploring.

Dawn: Few people know this but you've already made your film debut in a little-known Bollywood rom-com called It's Too Much. How was that for a learning experience? Were you happy with the response of the film? Would you like to work in Bollywood in the future?

Armeena: Yes, people don’t realise that I actually worked in Bollywood before Pakistan. Normally, it is the other way around with actors making the transition from Pakistan to Bollywood.

But I am worried about Bollywood.

You see films should reflect the societies they emanate from, as well as their audiences. They should be able to transport their audiences to far away lands, bringing them face to face with monsters, letting them walk with heroes and giants. They should be able to make you cry, laugh and above all inspire you to be more than you thought you could be. But Bollywood seems lost. It has become all about the ‘Masala’ and the ‘Sex’. But there are consequences. As a result, we are seeing that Bollywood is not only at odds with the hopes and aspirations of right-minded Indian women but also the rich heritage and culture of Indian society. India is more than this. Where is the philosophy, history, the dreams and the richness of India and its people? I hope Bollywood can start to encompass these facets and that is the Bollywood I would want to be part of.

I've seen better.... 'nuff said.

On topic, She's a stunner!! too bad she can't act .

The qualification required is to be a stunner or good at acting...If one is fulfilled you get the role....

She is half Swedish, Half Pakistani .


Pretty non the less .

 

[KingMamba]

Average Male Indian height is 5' 4.75'' and Pakistanis are two inches taller at 5'6.75'' . Netherlands has the highest at near about 6.0 ft while Indonesians are the shortest at 5'2''.

Please don't make such comparisons here. It already looks like a sausage fest.

Mind you the Pakistani height has fallen by 4 inches over the las 50 years in Pakistan itself or else the average Pakistani height was 5'10. I myself am 6'2 while my little bro is now 6'4 and will probably get to to 6'5 before he is even 20.

Lastly tell that the guru dumass then.

No need for the racist comments or Indo-war debate on every thread bros . Its silly !!


Stick to the topic , I personally like Noreen Waqar .


She can act + possess attractive looks . Her acting in drama Alvida was superb.
