“Covid-19 made things very difficult and we had to follow SOPs in order to get things done. However, it is not easy to shoot outdoor in scorching June-July of Lahore. We were out of studios since I was wearing mic we could not turn on fan indoors and we do not have air-conditioning or chillers facility at all the places for instance museums etc. All the recordings and shoots for the segment that I have done thus far were done in peak hot humid Lahore.”

“The shoot at Badhsahi mosque was the most dificult one. It was a shoot to be done at noon in mid July. Since we were in a mosque so we had to be barefooted and the floor was unbearably hot. It was very dificult but I enjoyed it too, it has been a team effort and I am glad to have a fantastic team to work with.”
