Dananeer, also known as Geena on Instagram and currently playing Roshi on television, is right here with us for an exclusive chitchat!
If you jumped on the bandwagon and made fun TikToks on ‘Pawri Ho Rahi Hai,’ you already know who Dananeer is! Since then, she’s been winning hearts with her diverse roles—whether it was Sinf-e-Aahan, Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri, Very Filmy, or her current on-air drama Meem Se Mohabbat, where she’s making us feel every bit of Roshi’s emotions alongside Ahad Raza Mir.
She’s right here with us today! Let’s see what she has to share!
How Was Meeting Ahad Raza Mir For The First Time?
It was really nice. We actually, the first time we met was quite a while ago.
Dananeer
Dananeer shared that meeting Ahad Raza Mir for the first time was a fun experience. Though they had briefly met at an event before, their real first meeting happened when they signed Meem Se Mohabbat. She told us that Ahad was initially in “reserve mode,” but that didn’t last long! As they spent more time together on set, their comfort level naturally adjusted. She shared how their days were filled with great conversations, fun activities, and games, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
How Did Dananeer Get The Role Of Roshi?
Momina aunty called me and she was like I am getting something written and I see you in it.
Dananeer
Dananeer shared that Momina Duraid reached out to her, expressing that she had a role in mind specifically for her. At the time, Farhat Ishtiaq was writing the script, and the character of Roshi was being shaped with Dananeer in mind. This instantly piqued her interest, as she admired Farhat Ishtiaq’s storytelling and the depth she brings to her characters. When she finally read the script, she found Roshi’s layers and development fascinating. Excited by the project, she discussed it with her mother, who also loved the script. That’s how she became a part of Meem Se Mohabbat.
Can Love Really Heal Someone?
You cannot completely put the responsibility of your happiness or your healing on someone else.
Dananeer
Dananeer discussed that while love is a powerful emotion, a person’s healing and happiness cannot be entirely dependent on someone else. She emphasized that everyone is responsible for their own growth, but a loving partner can support and uplift them. She explained that if someone is already on a journey of self-improvement, love can help nurture that process rather than being the sole driving force.
How Does Dananeer View Script Selection?
Responsibly script choose karna bohot important hai, specially for me.
Dananeer
Dananeer discussed that while not every project needs to carry a strong message, maintaining a balance between entertainment and meaningful storytelling is essential. She believes that even within pure entertainment, there is room to educate, shift perspectives, and inspire learning. However, she emphasized that choosing scripts responsibly is crucial, especially for her. While she doesn’t expect every role to deliver a profound message, she ensures that none of her projects promote misleading or harmful narratives. She acknowledged the responsibility that comes with being in the public eye, especially when young viewers look up to her. Knowing that people listen, watch, and follow her work, she remains mindful of the impact her choices can have on audiences.
