Renowned Pakistani TV actress Mariyam Nafees has wowed audience with her stunning acting in projects like Diyar-e-Dil, Ishq-e-Benaam, Haya Ke Daaman Main, Munkir and Kuch Na Kaho to name a few. 

Mariyam was seen playing the role of Khajista, a victim of domestic abuse in hit drama serial Yakeen ka Safar, and has a long way to go with respect to her aspirations in the entertainment realm. 

For the actress, the role of a blind person is what intrigues her mind. “As an actor, I want to feel what else can be done except for crying and laughing, and to play someone who can’t see anything must be challenging.” 

Mariyam would have been an architect if not an actor, for she has a penchant and aesthetics to set up beautiful homes. The actress is currently seen in drama serial Neem, alongside Mawra Hocane. Mariyam joined MAG for a fun interview:
