In a recent interview, Noor recalled how unexpected casting changes shaped not only the film’s success but also his personal life.

He revealed that Neeli and Noman Ijaz were originally chosen for the lead roles.

However, both withdrew from the project. As a result, Shaan and Saima stepped in, changing the fate of the movie.

Noor explained that Noman Ijaz was first supposed to play Shaan’s character but backed out due to personal reasons.

Buyers at the time were hesitant to accept Shaan and even demanded refunds, but Noor insisted he should be cast.

For the female lead, actress Neeli was initially selected, but her departure opened the role for Saima.

Noor admitted that it was during the shooting of Ghunghat that he developed deep feelings for her.

The film became a massive success, winning praise for the on-screen chemistry of Shaan and Saima.

But for Syed Noor, it also marked the beginning of a personal journey, as he confessed that he had fallen in love with Saima , a relationship that eventually led to marriage.

It’s worth noting that Syed Noor was first married to Rukhsana Noor, with whom he had a son.

After her passing, he tied the knot with actress Saima, starting a new chapter in his life.

Syed Noor s admission demonstrates how destiny and spontaneous casting in Ghunghat changed his personal life and the film industry.

The film became a turning point for Pakistani cinema and a new beginning in Noor’s own journey.
