Mumbai, March 19 (NationPress) Actress Sadia Khateeb recently expressed her admiration for a specific trait in her co-stars John Abraham and Akshay Kumar, stating that it is their unmatched stardom and work ethic that she aims to emulate.
In a recent interview with IANS, Sadia noted that both actors, with their illustrious careers, have set a remarkable standard for aspiring professionals in the industry. She remarked, “I’d definitely say the stardom they’ve earned over the years is something I aspire to achieve. It requires a tremendous amount of patience, discipline, and dedication. Both Akshay and John are incredibly diligent. For instance, Akshay works relentlessly, even in adverse weather. The passion they invest in their craft is extraordinary, and doing so at their age, while remaining leaders in the industry, is truly commendable.”
When asked who is more enjoyable to collaborate with on set—John or Akshay—Sadia was quick to share her insights. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with both in unique environments. Akshay and I collaborated on Raksha Bandhan, where he portrayed my brother. He was exceptionally patient and understanding. Conversely, John and I worked in a serious, dramatic thriller, where his role required a different dynamic, focused on saving me. They are both extremely professional, and they excelled in their roles. Their ability to adapt to their characters underscores their commitment to their craft,” Khateeb stated.
Sadia Khateeb is currently enjoying the success of her latest project, The Diplomat, where she stars alongside John Abraham. Directed by Ritesh Shah, this political drama revolves around an Indian diplomat on a mission to repatriate an Indian woman from Pakistan, who was allegedly tricked and coerced into an unwanted marriage.
Discussing the film, Sadia Khateeb spoke about the hurdles she faced in embodying her character.
“It was indeed a challenging experience for me. This character is quite intricate, with multiple layers, and very difficult to portray. She finds herself in a situation where, upon reading the story, I felt that I could potentially lose my life within it. I realized I had to give my utmost effort. It’s an incredibly inspiring tale about a girl who reaches a breaking point. She has been designated the title 'Daughter of India', and the entire nation is eagerly awaiting her return. It’s a narrative about resilience, the power of presence of mind, and how she triumphs over such a critical situation. The chance to play such a character felt like an incredible opportunity. Few actors have the privilege of taking on such a role, and I was very thankful,” Sadia explained.
