Popular Turkish series Selahaddin Eyyubi is expected to feature Shaheera Jalil Albasit. The actress gave some details on her 2021 Pakistan-Turkey joint venture audition experience.
Shaheera Jalil Albasit, who won praise for her performance in Razia, will be joining the cast of the critically acclaimed drama series Selahaddin Eyyubi for Season 2, the show's makers have formally announced.
Shaheera talked candidly about her audition for Selahaddin Eyyubi in November of last year when she appeared on Haute Talk with Amna Isani.
"In 2021, I auditioned for the Pakistan-Turkey joint venture Selahaddin Eyyubi. The application process was formal; I applied, got a call, and had to travel to Karachi. Amazing actors like Ushna Shah and Ayesha Omar astonished and delighted me.
"The Turkish team conducted the auditions. Out of sixty candidates, I was chosen, which was a noteworthy accomplishment. It seemed significant to be standing next to actors like Humayun Saeed."
Shaheera disclosed that despite this encouraging beginning, she and other chosen actors—Alizeh Shah and Arsalan Naseer, among others—were not included in the finished production.
"After being selected, I thought I was set with a role in a Turkish drama. Since then, the drama has been finished, but none of us are in it. They picked us, and the actors and I joined a WhatsApp group, but nothing came of it."
