Famous Pakistani actor and director Yasir Hussain has refused to work with her wife, Iqra Aziz.
In his interview, he said that no doubt Iqra is a highly skilled performer, but working together brought its own challenges.
He added, with humour, that he has only shared the screen with her once, and that too was not entirely his decision.

He explained that their collaboration on Ek Thi Laila came at the request of a television channel, rather than his own choice.
Hussain also noted that his role in the project was a negative one and that he has since continued to play similar characters.
He said audiences have increasingly associated him with such roles off-screen as well, something he finds ironic.
Ek Thi Laila, directed by Yasir Hussain, is a mystery drama centred on the sudden disappearance of a young woman.
The story explores how communities can quickly pass judgment, particularly on women, rather than focus on finding answers.
Despite his comments about working together, Hussain and Aziz remain a well-known couple in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
They were married in 2019 and have two children now.
