Veteran actor Bushra Ansari, widely celebrated for her portrayal of Saima Chaudhary in the iconic Baraat Series, recently revisited her beloved character by sharing nostalgic throwback clips from the hit comedy-drama franchise. Taking to Instagram, Ansari posted collaborative content with an account dedicated to the series, delighting fans with a trip down memory lane.
Throwback Clips Highlight Classic Moments
In one of the clips shared by Ansari, Saima Chaudhary is seen lying ill in bed while her husband, Chaudhary Sahab, portrayed by Shehryar Zaidi, inquires about her troubles. The scene quickly shifts to her concerns over finding a suitable husband for her daughter, Annie. With her signature humor, Saima exclaims, “Do me help before I die hard,” showcasing the character’s trademark misuse of English grammar—a running gag that became a fan favorite throughout the series.
Another throwback video features Saima enjoying Chinese food with her family while delivering witty political jokes and humorous observations, further highlighting the series’ comedic charm.
