Asma Abbas comes from a very talented family. Though she took a 20-year break after her marriage, she still managed to impress everyone when she came back on television. She has since done many hit dramas and she is counted among the most loved television moms of this generation. Recently, Asma was a guest on Tabish Hashmi’s show and she made some interesting revelations. The actress has mostly played the characters of a mother on TV. She was asked by an audience member why there are no romantic stories for the older generation. Asma agreed that more stories based on love at a mature age should be made and that nowadays all dramas are love stories of youngsters. She then also answered another question and said that she loves to play a widow on screen. Asma, in her usual witty element, said that heroes of her age are all old and feeble, and suffering from health conditions at this point. Whenever she stars in a drama, she gets to know that some ‘uncle’ has been cast opposite her. Thus, she likes to play widow characters or characters where the husband dies early on in the story.
