(Web Desk) - Bollywood writer Sutapa Sikdar has showered praise on Pakistani actress Hajra Yamin for her acting prowess.
Sutapa Sikdar, the wife of late Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, appears to be an avid follower of Pakistani television dramas. In the comments section of an Instagram post shared by journalist Sadiq Saleem discussing Hajra Yamin’s performance in the drama Doctor Bahu, Sikdar described the actress as an “underrated gem.”
“I have seen her in shows where she has incompetent co-actors… she is so thorough with her scenes that she really doesn’t need a great co-star,” Sikdar wrote, appreciating Yamin’s dedication and command over her craft.
She added that whenever Hajra Yamin was paired with strong co-stars, “the dynamics of the scenes changed so drastically.” Praising Doctor Bahu, Sikdar called it “a well written and directed show.”
Journalist Sadiq Saleem responded to the comment, saying that Yamin “would be elated to read this” and he was absolutely right.
Hajra Yamin soon replied with a heartfelt message of gratitude, expressing how special the appreciation was coming from someone so closely associated with Irrfan Khan.
“Thank you so much for your support, it means so much to me. I’ve been a fan and student of the late Sir Irrfan Khan’s work for as long as I can remember, so this is incredibly special,” the Pakistani actress wrote.
