Actor Syra Yousuf revealed she was offered to the work in a Hollywood movie but turned down the role.
In an interview, she revealed that the Hollywood film’s script required her to play a bold character to which she refused. She did not mention the film’s name.
The actor, who has worked in a music channel as a video jockey (VJ), is one of the most versatile celebrities in the entertainment industry.
She is seen as Arzoo Daniel in the superhit serial Sinf-e-Aahan alongside star-studded actors Sajal Ali, Yumna Zaidi, Kubra Khan and Ramsha Khan.
The plot of the show centres around six courageous women and their inspirational devotion to become a part of the Pakistan Army.
A few days ago, her Sinf-e-Aahan co-star Sajal Aly admitted to refusing to work in a Hollywood citing the same reason as Syra Yousuf’s.
“I was also offered the title role in another Hollywood movie and the story was very exciting,” he said. “However, there was a single, very bold scene in the movie that I knew I couldn’t do.”
“Even if I managed to do so, the people of my country would have connected that scene with me. I wouldn’t want to disillusion them like that,” she added.
