I didn’t know that I would be stepping into the creative side of things." She produced Samira Fazal's Mere Paas Paas as her first independent drama series, that earned her critical acclaim. In 2010 she produced partition based drama series Dastaan based on the novel Bano by Razia Butt, the series starred then newcomer Fawad Khan with Sanam Baloch playing the title character of Bano.
