Sania Saeed’s name has been synonymous with acting since the early ’90s when she wowed Pakistani television audiences with the subdued Mehrunnisa in Sitara aur Mehrunnisa. She became actively involved in theatre during the ’90s as well, as she continued to do fantastic television alongside.

Recently having bagged a Lux Style Award for Best TV Actress (Satellite) for Jhumka Jaan, Sania Saeed’s love affair with theatre breathed once again after a long hiatus as well. Katha presented Kahaniyan, three one-act plays which had Sania starring as one of the leads in each; and slipping into each character, chameleon-like. Her performance had people yelling out “you were terrific!” when she took a bow with the rest of the cast onstage and had people saying things like: “not a single dull moment.”

Sania Saeed has proved her acting mettle time and again, and her rendition of each character she plays translates as well onstage as it does onscreen.
For winning over the masses with her television roles, the intellectuals with her theatre performances and high-brow award juries as well- Sania Saeed is Instep’s Hotstepper this week for being an acting institution.
