I’d like to share that I previously auditioned for Saba but did not get the role. I did not choose her because I did not believe she was committed. She delivered her dialogues quickly and appeared rushed. She even stated that she was rushing. I was looking for new actors for my ARY Digital drama series, and I wanted to choose people that I could train in my academy.”
