Rising TV star Aina Asif has talked candidly about her long-standing relationship with co-star Samar Jafri, stating that in addition to their on-screen chemistry, the two have a generation-old familial affinity.
Aina Asif, who became well-known for her breakthrough performance in Mayi Ri, talked about her acting career, her love for the art form, and her relationship with Samar Jafri, her co-star in Mayi Ri and Parwarish, on a private entertainment discussion program.
Aina openly revealed that Samar Jafri’s mother and her own mother were college classmates. She remarked, “Our mothers were college friends,” and that their common past has resulted in a cordial working relationship and a sense of family closeness on set.
“We’ve always had family terms,” she said, illuminating the off-screen friendship that fans have frequently conjectured about.
The combination of Aina Asif and Samar Jafri in Mayi Ri was widely praised by spectators, who praised their subtle performances. Because of their connection, they have a sizable fan base, and followers frequently “ship” the pair on social media—a phrase that refers to supporters who want two people to be together.
In response to this tendency, Aina stated that she feels at ease with the public’s interest in their relationship, especially given their sincere friendship. “I don’t mind the shipping because Samar is a good friend,” she remarked. “If it happened with someone I’m not close to, it would feel awkward.”
The young celebrity also revealed that the two had a lively and enjoyable time together on set, often cracking jokes and encouraging one another throughout long shooting sessions. She remarked, “We always have each other’s back,” adding that their cooperation is simpler and more natural when they feel at ease and understand one another.
As newcomers to Pakistan’s television industry, Aina Asif and Samar Jafri are both becoming more well-known, and their most recent collaboration, Parwarish, brings them together on screen once more. Both in front of and behind the camera, their comfortable connection and shared experience are working to their advantage.
