The Pyaray Afzal diva revealed that when the director and writer of Laapata, Khizer Idrees approached her for the play, he gave her an open choice to select either of the two parallel female lead characters from the drama. When she read the script she only wanted to do Geeti and didn’t even consider the other role.

The other parallel role of ‘Falak’ is being essayed by Sarah Khan, who is a sports enthusiast and is in love with Ali Rehman Khan’s character, Shams.

After the appreciation that she received as Meenu from Chupke Chupke she wanted to do another lighthearted and fun character hence she insisted that she will play only Geeti’s character.

The characteristics of Geeti resonated with her more as she mentioned that even in her real life the Meherposh actor is very “filmy”.
