Kinza also shared a picture with Atta Tarar and humorously connected her fictional role with the real political world, captioning the post, “Reel Politician meets the Real Politician!” She described the meeting as an honour and said they had a productive discussion about important issues, particularly those affecting women in Pakistan’s media industry.Pakistani actress Kinza Hashmi has taken her Leader journey from the TV screen to Pakistan’s Parliament, visiting the National Assembly and receiving a commemorative shield for her performance in the political drama.
Invited by MNA Romina Khurshid Alam, the actress also met Information and Broadcasting Minister Atta Tarar and reflected on how the experience gave her a deeper understanding of the political world portrayed in the drama.
Sharing pictures and clips from her visit on Instagram, Kinza reflected on how experiencing the workings of Parliament made her understand her Leader character on a deeper level. In one post, she wrote, “Visiting the Parliament of Pakistan made me feel ‘Leader’ a bit deeper.”
Elaborating on the experience, Kinza described politics as much more than a position of privilege. She wrote that politics comes with “responsibility, a duty and an all-time commitment,” while expressing gratitude to Romina Khurshid Alam for inviting her and giving her an insight into the workings of Parliament.
The actress’s Parliament visit became even more significant when she was presented with a commemorative shield for her role in Leader. The recognition comes as her character Rubab continues to attract attention in the drama, which explores student politics, power, ambition and the personal cost of political rivalry.Written by Radain Shah and directed by Asad Mumtaz Malik, Leader follows Mansoor, played by Ali Raza, a farmer’s son who enters university politics with the dream of challenging feudal influence and fighting for a more just society. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with Rubab, played by Kinza Hashmi, who belongs to the family he is politically opposed to.
Their relationship becomes increasingly complicated as personal feelings collide with political ambitions and family loyalties. What begins as a story of student politics and love gradually develops into a larger struggle involving power, rivalry and competing visions of leadership.
The latest milestone has added another memorable chapter to Kinza’s Leader journey, as viewers continue to follow the drama’s political twists and the changing relationship between Rubab and Mansoor.
