Khaas has reached its end but it sure has become that one Pakistani drama that will be re-watched and lauded for years to come.
Its leading characters Saba, Ammar, and Fakhir surely left an everlasting impact upon us, each bestowing the audience with cohesive rules for a healthy marital life.
But perhaps the most memorable of all the characters in Khaas will remain the smart, savage and saucy, Salma. Fans of the drama will agree that Salma is that one villain that we all secretly agree with. We rooted for her when she overpowered Ammar and unleashed hell all over his life. The way she roasted her husband with vindictiveness he deserved was a lot of fun to watch.
again with my new character ‘Salma’ that entered in today’s episode of #dramaserial #Khaas #HumTV #hiratareen #actor
So much so, social media flooded with memes and viral clips of Salma, giving Ammar the taste of his own medicine. However, the credit for a character that has been so successful with viewers of Khaas undeniably goes to Hira Tareen.
She played the role with such class and fierceness, we wonder if anyone else could have done it better! Her every sneer, icy gaze, and splenetic exasperation was a joy to behold.
Tareen was disarmingly charming and malicious at the same time. She molded herself into the dark Salma with such ease that we bet she will be remembered for this role for a long, long time.
Hum Spotlight caught up with Hira Tareen and had a heart-to-heart with her over her challenging role in Khaas. While she is quite a baddie on screen, the beauty is a modest, welcoming force in real life and has a heart of pure gold.
Read on what she has to share with her fans about playing Salma, being a mother and dealing with haters.
In what way you believe your role in Khaas can bring a positive change in the society where emotional abuse is often shunned?
In addition to my character, I feel the entire story and all the characters in Khaas touch a very important topic and reflect various types of people that actually exist in society. And all of them have to be seen together in combination to really understand certain personality types and their effect on each other.
Sometimes people need to see how unfair and hypocritical certain things look on television to really look within and get perspective on things. I believe this story has already brought about a positive change because change begins with awareness and dialogue.
As far as I can tell, Khaas has really gotten people talking and that’s a great thing!
Despite your negative role, people are loving your character as Salma. Did you expect such a warm response from the viewers?
No, I didn’t, and I am truly humbled and thankful that people from all over are appreciating my work. I knew that people were going to enjoy the character to a certain extent but after the drama aired, so many comments and messages started pouring in about how women are finding her to be a ‘badass’ and are enjoying the karma she is providing in the story.

This was interesting because in the past, in my experience, a second wife or ‘the other woman’ characters usually get a very negative response from the audience right off the bat. The way I decided to play the character of Salma was in a very unapologetic, nonchalant and matter of fact sort of way, so when Salma was just being Salma, in Ammar’s household she symbolized so much more to the audience. I guess because she was treating Ammar the exact way he treated Saba and doing it with a lot of confidence and assertiveness.
I guess people in Pakistan are finally ready to see strong female characters without directly jumping the gun and placing a moral judgment on them. Also, I’d like to mention that it also really depends on the writer and director and whether they allow for subtleties and grey areas of characters to show through which makes them more interesting and open to interpretation by the audience. Which in this case Sarwat Nazir and Danish Nawaz did remarkably.
The audience is enjoying what you are giving Ammar a taste of his own medicine. Is there any thought of awareness you want to impart at this point?
Giving someone a taste of their own medicine is fun to watch on TV and gives a sense of satisfaction to the audience but I am not so sure how effective it is in real life. Two negatives don’t make a positive when it comes to real relationships.
Khaas also highlights how elders promote the ‘Mar Jana, Wapis Ghar Mat Ana’ notion. What message do you want to give in this regard?
I feel inherently all parents genuinely want their children to be happy but unfortunately, sometimes they fail to take the right approach. I think it’s great to teach your children to be responsible in their relationships and encourage them to work things out once the commitment has been made.
However this notion of ‘Mar jana, Wapis Ghar Mat Ana’ is quite ridiculous when it has to do with arranged marriages. It’s like insisting that you will pick out shoes for someone, but force them to wear them even if you didn’t get the right size, except it’s so much more serious than that!
The whole reason family is a family is because they should be there for you during your toughest times, and in situations where one’s marriage is on the rocks that’s exactly when your parents should counsel you with love and positivity and steer you in the right direction.
That being said, both husband and wife must also prove to be responsible adults who are in control of their lives and should draw the line to how much they involve their parents or family in every single conflict.
What do you think are the ingredients that make a relationship happy and healthy?
Good communication, affection, respect, space, and trust.
You and Ali are parents to an adorable Mahgul. How has the parenting journey been so far and how you have been juggling your career along with it?
It has been a challenging but beautiful journey of learning something new every single day. I feel like it’s made us more mindful and empathetic in some ways. Both of us really respect each other’s goals and ambitions but also have this strong will to give Mahgul the best life we can.

So we make sure we are considerate towards each other’s work schedules and try our best to coordinate our dates to make sure Mahgul gets to have at least one of us around at all times. Other than that, it’s really important having a supportive family who is on the same page, and do their best to be there for you when you really need them.
With a massive following on social media, there are bound to be haters. What is your tip to deal with them?
I think one should always be open to critique and sometimes there’s a lot to learn from comments that sound harsh initially, however, if certain messages are filled with unnecessary hatred, I try to ignore and move on.
In my experience, responding only adds fuel to the negativity. In fact, I make a conscious effort to respond to extremely positive messages just to reinforce that I will not acknowledge or waste any of my energy on haters.
You have been a DJ, a model, an actress, a host and now a YouTube sensation. What is next for Hira?
Haha! Who knows? I love to dance but I don’t get to do enough of it, maybe I’ll work on my music more, or make a film one day. There’s only one life to live and so much I want to accomplish but I am just hoping that I can make some sort of a positive impact with whatever it is I do.
