Excerpts from the one-on-one interview with her.
Fashion Times (FT): I am trying to figure you out and so are a lot of people. You have these very sensual eyes. Your smile is very open and friendly, yet there is something about your personality that’s a bit intricate. How is Hina Javed a person whom people don’t know about?
Hina Javed (HJ): I am a very discreet and introverted person. I don’t like to act like an open book and share my personal feelings with everyone I come across.
(FT): Jia Na Jaye, Zid, Alif Allah Aur Insaan, Sila, Pardes and Meray Paas Tum Ho prove your versatility as an actor. What do you look in a script for?
(HJ): Before choosing a script, I seek the depth and meaning of the character. For me, my character must stand out and contribute to the entire narrative.
(FT): How do you prepare for your roles? Do you follow your instincts or the character’s instincts?
(HJ): I follow the character’s instinct; every character has its own quirks and complex personalities. Therefore it is very important to delve into that certain complexity irrespective of its nature.
(FT): Are you looking for glorious peaks? Or you are happy with consistent success?
(HJ): Consistent success does bring joy but glorious peaks are something I aim to achieve.
(FT): Have you ever been nervous about how you look? Does looks matter?
(HJ): I never felt the need to feel intimidated about how I looked. I feel a certain on-screen look does matter but talent speaks louder than the looks itself.
(FT): What are your interests besides acting?
(HJ): I have a keen interest in sketching, although it is not a developed hobby yet. I consider myself a shopaholic for the love of shopping i.e. collecting clothes, and shoes. Also, I love to travel.
(FT): What dreams are you chasing in 2024?
(HJ): To soar the heights that I desire and be a better person than I was before.
