“Well, I’ve had the opportunity to work with both in different settings. Akshay and I worked together in Raksha Bandhan, where he played my brother. So, he was really patient and understanding. On the other hand, John and I worked in a serious, dramatic thriller, so his role demanded a different kind of dynamic.
He was focused on his goal of saving me. Both of them are highly professional, and they nailed their characters. The way they adapted to their roles showed how dedicated they are to their craft.”
Riding High on The Diplomat’s Success
Sadia Khateeb is currently enjoying the success of her latest release, The Diplomat, in which she stars alongside John Abraham. Directed by Ritesh Shah, the political drama follows an Indian diplomat’s mission to rescue an Indian woman trapped in Pakistan due to an alleged forced marriage.
The Challenges of Playing a Complex Role
Discussing her role in The Diplomat, Sadia reflected on the difficulties she faced in bringing her character to life,
“It was definitely a challenging experience for me. This character is very complex, with many layers, and very difficult to portray. She’s in a situation where, when I first read the story, I felt that I would probably lose my life in it. I knew I had to give my absolute best. It’s an incredibly inspiring story about a girl who has reached a breaking point.
She’s been given the title ‘Daughter of India,’ and the whole country is waiting for her return. It’s a story about resilience, the power of presence of mind, and how she overcomes such a dire situation. The opportunity to play such a character felt like a stroke of good fortune. Not many actors get a chance to take on such a role, so I was very grateful.”
