Across a career span of more than three decades, she enjoyed diverse roles and an opportunity to reach out to different sections of the audience. Odho is an essence of the Pakistani showbiz industry, preserved forever, to inspire young actors.

The talented actress recently took to Instagram to announce her next project.

This got us intrigued and we got in touch with her for details.

Speaking exclusively to HIP, Odho said:"It's a Moomal production drama serial titled 'Chungal'. I play a multi-layered character with many complexities involved. Viewers shall be seeing me in something very different and exciting".

When asked about reuniting with Farooq Rind (Director), she said: "This is my second project with Farooq; we have worked together on a serial a couple of years back titled 'Besharam'. I've always admired his work as a craftsman and respect him a lot as a sensitive and kind human being. We are very excited to be working together once again on hopefully yet another memorable project".

Chungal will air from Hum TV.
