Bollywood writer Sutapa Sikdar — the widow of actor Irrfan Khan — is seemingly an avid watcher of Pakistani dramas and enjoys watching Hajra Yamin’s acting.

In the comment section of an Instagram post shared by journalist Sadiq Saleem talking about Yamin’s performance in Doctor Bahu, Sikdar called the actor an “underrated gem”.

“I have seen her in shows where she has incompetent co-actors… she is so thorough with her scenes that she really doesn’t need a great co star,” the writer said.

Sikdar added that whenever Yamin had good co-stars, “the dynamics of the scenes changed so drastically”. She praised Dr Bahu as “a well written and directed show”.

Saleem replied to the writer’s comment saying Yamin “would be elated to read this” and she absolutely was.
