Actor Durefishan Saleem, widely admired for her performance in the hit drama Ishq Murshid and her widely discussed fitness transformation, shared heartfelt emotions as Lahore lit up on a lively evening, saying the city’s warmth mirrors her own happiness.
In a post about the atmosphere, the actor described watching Lahore come alive at night as a deeply comforting experience — peaceful, glowing, and full of life — reflecting her strong personal connection to the city.
A personal bond with Lahore
Born in Lahore, Durefishan has often spoken about the emotional attachment she feels toward the city despite her busy acting career that frequently keeps her traveling between major production hubs.
Her father, veteran television actor Saleem ul Hassan, belongs to Pakistan’s classic PTV era, giving Durefishan early exposure to the arts, though she initially chose a different path.
From law to limelight
Before entering showbiz, Durefishan pursued legal studies and planned a professional career outside entertainment. However, her transition into acting quickly drew public attention, especially after her breakthrough role in Ishq Murshid.
Alongside her performances, her weight-loss and fitness journey also became widely discussed among fans.
Fans react
Her recent reflection on Lahore resonated strongly with followers, many of whom echoed the sentiment that the city’s lively nights and welcoming energy create a unique emotional pull.
For Durefishan, the illuminated streets were more than scenery — they were a reminder of home.
