I am humbled....

So I am really not getting any sleep tonight!

LOL....

It is now 3:00 am here in my neck of the woods and the phone has not stopped ringing. I guess it was sort of a double whammy that the Nadia Khan show did their feature on ABC and that the US Weekly article/interview came out on the same day!

I feel humbled by the outpouring of love, admiration, affection and high regard. I am moved. I am touched. I am honored.

And I am so humbled...

I guess I just want to say THANK YOU.... so much.... for this. For all of this. I could not even in my wildest dreams have imagined that people cared... SO MUCH!!!!
It brings tears to my eyes. I am just another ordinary person and this feels surreal...


TO ALL THE ABC FANS-
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
GIANT HUGS!
YOU ARE AWESOME!
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO OVERWHELMED!!!!!
THANKS PEEPS!

And yes, here's the link to the US Weekly interview...


This one's dedicated to all you fans out there

My favourite part of youe interview is:

I wish I had known then...

I would not change a thing. I am what I am today because I was what I was then. Every experience has taught me something. If I knew different then, how could I be me now? I am content in who I am now.

and what happened to Faraz? My Good Lord, :P his hair?
i had a huge crush on him when he was inABC, and i still have it on him..hehe :P i dont care about his hair, just love his innocent smile!!!

Shahnaz, today would again be a memorable day in your calender.
The legacy of ABC would continue for times to come.
Its nice that both NKS and US events occurred simultaneously, making it even more memorable.

Deja Vu said...

too bad. no geo coverage in my part of the world.
i would have to wait for it to come on youtube.

Deja Vu said...

wonder which website is best for watching geo tv during repeat telecast?

you arent the only one feeling nostalgic. having watched / heard you guys in the Nadia Khan Show i am not feeling feverish anymore and i'd go to bed reminiscing about the good ol' times.

it was the best show everrrr and anyone who had seen it at the time would always remember it.

it's quite a coincidence that i found your blog and i am happy to know you are doing great - 4 gpa is amazing! the character of Shahnaz was of a very strong woman but your credentials are very impressive too.

glad to read about Qasim on your blog. they couldnt get to talk to him. now i know why. and, i dont know if you watched the show but Faraz wanted to get in touch with Qasim.

thanks! you make me feel like a million bucks!

Shahnaz said...

Shahnaz said...

peppermint

let me tell you a story...

my mom was supposed to be flying to karachi today and she did not know about the interview!!! I may have neglected to mention it (gulp!!)

well anyway, she just picked up the newspaper and got on the plane and when she opened it she saw the interview.she told me she got tears in her eyes when she read what i had said about her, my dad and my brother...

it was a very tender conversation i just had with her over the phone...

thanks!

Shahnaz said...

ugghani

you and me both ....

so when a link is available i'd love to see it too!

today was overwhelming in terms of theresponse from people... i am VERY touched!

Shahnaz said...

Calm

GIANT HUGS TO YOU TOO!!!

Shahnaz said...

zeeshan

welcome to the blog and thanks a bunch!

Shahnaz said...

umair

thanks buddy... yeah he had asked for qasim's number. i just sent it his way....

Intellectual Solitude said...

Shahnaz..
No need to mention thanks.Infact I wanted to thank you for your help and cooperation.
Well, that interview gor really popular..everyone's talking about that. So, Shahnaz, I think you should expect more interviews after this...coz you guys (faraz, u and all ) came to limelight after NKs and Us...
hmmm...
Im already crossing my fingers to see you come back on TV again...
loads of hugs :)

Read your interview in US. It was a pleasant, pleasant surprise. ABC is still, by far, one of the most talked about TV serials in Pakistan. Yours was the most vibrant and charismatic of all performances in that wonderful play that still refreshes our thoughts.

I'm sad I missed the show otherwise I would have listen to you and Kashif along with Fraz and his wife.

And I agree with a comment already made on this post that the legacy of ABC would continue for times to come.

It would be great if you come to Nadia Khan Show along with your doughter. I'm looking forward.

Hi shahnaz its great to see u and know about you after a decade. I have been a huge fan of yours, a regular reader of US and a regular viewer of NKS but u know what due to misfortune I missed the show in which ur call was on-aired and the newspaper man forgot to drop last week’s newspaper in which your article was published. I was so much frustrated and annoyed when I came to know about those things ………..You cant even imagine how frantically I waited for your interview in the final show of ABC and was equally aggravated upon getting the news of you being out of country  but the moment you accepted my friend request my entire view towards life has been changed now I am of the view that all our dreams do come true ….but man is impatient and ungrateful he wants things to happen instantaneously……..Allah knows better whats gonna happen next and when its right for us …….now I have uploaded your interview from the net ….since earlier I didn’t know that it was available there……….n ur blogs will update me about your present proceedings…………….May Allah give you all the things that are best for you in this life……………Wishing you best of health and providence ……….this is umaima.(huge fan)
