In 2010, Meera Declared that she was beginning her “full-fledged” career in television with Husn Ara Kaun (HAK). By calling herself a women’s rights champion then,she went on to add that the character was close to her heart.
Having spent over a decade and half in show business and well known for her foot in mouth gaffes, her assertion about a Tv career proved to be another gem, as HAK actually marks the end of her acting career.
A sequel of Husna aur Husn Ara, HAK follows the life of Husn Ara (Meera) after she leaves her ankle bells behind in the pursuit of a better life.Shedding the persona of a glorified nautch girl,of all possible jobs in the world,she ends up becoming a maid in the haveli of the tyrant feudal Malik Jahandad (Aurangzeb Laghari).
There she meets his oppressed wives,Zeenat (Samina Ahmed) and Rukhsana ( Sarah Gilani ) and his younger sister Bakhtawar ( Sana Raiz ). While Malik starts to develop feelings for Husn Ara,Bakhtawar falls madly in love with Noor ( the late Bilal Khan ). In between all this is the character of Zafardad (Shameel Khan ) who also has a score to settle with jahandad. Along the way,he too ends up falling for the lowly maid.
Known for her polished performance in Khilona,Meera is now a shadow of her former self. Her acting skills seem to be wanning and her deliberate attempts at either shrieking like a teen or sounding husky while trying to look serious makes matters much worse.
