Gibran Khan has cleared the air regarding his dramatist in his recent interview.
Protagonist Gibran Khan addressed his character saying, “I feel like Shaheer is not a negative character. In fact, it’s a great thing that our stories have evolved in such a way that the traditional hero-heroine and villain situations are less common.
He added, “A character doesn’t have to be good or bad. My character in Rift is going with a similar story. He is a very good guy in the beginning but also gets disturbed later.”
He further explained why he doesn’t think Shaheer is a difficult character. “Many times when a man has illicit relations with other women, he is not sincere with his wife and does not pay attention to her.” However, we have shown that Shaheer is an excellent husband and an ideal son-in-law. He is a great brother but he is also very responsible with his actions. He may be so cruel that his public image echoes perfection, but the flaws and imperfections in his personality also shape him,” he said.
