Addressing criticism over Hamna contacting Abu Bakar, Romaisa questioned why viewers expected her to avoid messaging him when he was the person who had taken her to the madrassa. She pointed out that Hamna receives little emotional support at home, while her husband has also stopped communicating with her.
The actress openly expressed her support for the character, saying she had even argued with people who criticised Hamna for reaching out to Abu Bakar. She also suggested that viewers might regret judging Hamna before discovering the complete story.
Romaisa further explained that Hamna comes from a family in interior Sindh but has a bold personality. According to the actress, Hamna feels unsupported by her family and is looking for protection and security outside her tribal environment.
She also clarified that Hamna’s marriage to Zamil was influenced by Maulvi Sahab and offered her an opportunity to settle down. It was not necessarily a decision made to forget Abu Bakar or move on from her feelings for him.
