The Suno Chanda star talked about partner Yasir Hussain, she said, “I think chemistry is always there. It does not just develop over the course of time. If you connect well with someone, you will click right away. Same is the case with me and Yasir. Our preferences are alike and we enjoy each other’s company.”
She went on, “For Yasir, it was like love at first sight when he met me. I took my precious time to reciprocate with the same energy and love. Within a month of knowing him though, I was sure that he is the one for me.”
Aziz stated, “I was in 10th grade when I embarked upon my journey. I had no idea how people looked at actors and their acting, whether it was considered as good or bad. I just had one thing in mind and that was to act and express myself.”
She also added, “I have always been the nautanki (mischevious) type so my mother expected something unusual from me. When I confronted her about acting, she immediately said no because she wanted me to complete my education first. Then, my sister convinced her that if I can shuffle between the two and manage, then why not. So here I am.”
Aziz also shared that her mother used to work at a nearby salon and she used to participate in in makeup competitions as well.
Aziz also spoke about fame and said, “it’s the age of social media, people like my work, they know me, it's a big deal. But the actors who are the ‘real deal’ have to be our veteran artists who deserve all the fame in this world.”
