Pakistani actor Ahsan Afzal has shared how he persuaded his parents, veteran actors Jan Rambo and Sahiba, to become part of the drama Mitti De Baway, offering a glimpse into the family conversation behind their involvement in the project.
During a recent interview, Ahsan recalled discussing the drama with his parents and addressing their concerns about the amount of work required for their roles.
According to the actor, the conversation included a discussion about the workload, with the roles involving work equivalent to two instalments despite the relatively limited commitment.
Ahsan, however, encouraged his parents to look beyond the length of the assignment and consider the value of being associated with a meaningful project.
“Doesn’t matter, it’s work that’s going to get registered,” he told them, expressing confidence that the experience would be worthwhile.
He also thanked his parents and reassured them that taking part in the drama would be a valuable experience. His remarks reflected his belief that a project’s lasting impact matters more than the amount of time spent working on it.
Ahsan’s account has offered fans a rare glimpse into the discussions that take place behind the scenes when actors decide whether to accept a role. In this case, his confidence in Mitti De Baway helped convince Jan Rambo and Sahiba to consider the opportunity despite their initial concerns about the workload.
The story also highlights the family’s shared connection to the entertainment industry, with Ahsan following in the footsteps of his actor parents.
Jan Rambo and Sahiba have remained familiar names in Pakistani entertainment, with audiences recognising them for their contributions to television and film. Their involvement in Mitti De Baway has added further interest to the drama, particularly among viewers who follow the careers of established actors and their families.
The series has attracted attention for its cast, which includes Wahaj Ali, Mahira Khan and Amar Khan. It is directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, while Faiza Iftikhar is responsible for the script.
With a prominent cast and an experienced creative team, Mitti De Baway has become a talking point among drama viewers. Ahsan’s comments have added another layer of interest by revealing how the project came together for his parents.
His account ultimately reflects a simple message: meaningful work can leave a lasting impression, regardless of the time or effort involved. For Ahsan, convincing Jan Rambo and Sahiba to join the drama was about encouraging them to recognise the potential value of the project rather than focusing solely on the workload.
