you & me
Armed with an MBA degree, Zarmeena Ikram stepped into the modelling world a few years ago. Her charming and poised personality led her to fame in no time. Soon she was getting offers from TV producers who were eager to cast this pretty girl in their productions. “I did my first drama ‘Mera Kya Qasoor Tha’ in 2016. I never wanted to become an actress. I explored my inclination and interest towards it with time,” elucidates Zarmeena who has showed her acting skills in popular TV series including ‘Log Kya Kahengye’, ‘Amanat’, and ‘Bandhan’. Zarmeena appeared as Farah Ali Khan (Dawood’s second wife) in a recently concluded drama ‘Ishq Murshid’. “The series was a massive hit.
