No one can doubt Bushra Ansari’s talent even for a split second. Over the years she has proved what a multitalented actress she is. What surprises me is that despite being such a seasoned artiste and fully knowing the hazards of overexposure, of late she can be seen in three plays and at least in two of them, Bilqees Kaur and Annie Ki Aayegi Baraat, Bushra A sounds pretty much the same.

Her mannerisms as a glib-talking woman have become rather predictable in both and had she opted to do one at a time, it could have broken the monotony. Still, since Bushra A is an experienced campaigner, she manages to attract attention.
