If there is any character in Pakistani drama history that is instantly beloved and cemented in the hearts and minds of fans, it would surely be Hina Dilpazeer's Momo in the hit sitcom Bulbulay. However, what many are unaware of is that whilst Hina plays a beloved mother on the show, she is actually younger than actor Nabeel Zafar, who portrayed her son Nabeel on the show. In a recent appearance on a podcast, actor and producer Nabeel revealed that Hina took the discrepancy in age in her stride when accepting the role.

"I think it's the 17th episode when Hina enters the show," recalled Nabeel. The actor explained that he had already worked with Hina on the 2006 telefilm Burns Road Ki Neelofar, meaning that he already had some idea as to how she could breathe life and charm into the role she ended up making her own. Laughing at the memory of the phone call that led to Hina's casting in Bulbulay, Nabeel added, "I said to Hina, 'You may be two or four years younger than me, but you'll have to play my mother!" Hina, however, had no qualms about accepting the role. "She just laughed and said she would do it!" exclaimed Nabeel.
