She added, “I love his deep involvement with acting. I can love, hate and tolerate, all three in that. Largely, love because it’s a very special feature. Naseer cannot be bothered with anything except for performance and working towards the performance. It’s an attitude that I haven’t seen in others. I am making this statement after giving it some thought. I haven’t seen this focus in others. But, it’s hard also to live with.”
