Renowned screen icon Atiqa Odho has graced Pakistani television and cinema for decades, capturing hearts with timeless classics like Sitara Aur Mehrunissa, Nijat, Dasht, and Humsafar. More recently, audiences have celebrated her dynamic performances in Besharam, Pyar Ke Sadqay, and Kaisi Teri Khudgharzi, along with current favorites like Neeli Kothi and Dr Bahu. Beyond her acting prowess, viewers tune in regularly to catch her sharp insights and charismatic presence as a co-host on the hit review show Kya Drama Hai.

After taking a brief two-week hiatus from her television duties, Atiqa returned to the set refreshed, radiant, and full of stories from a relaxing escape to Islamabad with her husband, Samar Khan. Balancing professional commitments with leisure, the couple turned their trip to the capital into a peaceful, romantic retreat.
Reflecting on the getaway, Atiqa highlighted how crucial it is for married couples to step away from daily routines and prioritize one another.
“I was in Islamabad. It was just a holiday; I had some work engagements there as well. The weather was lovely. It was a rainy and romantic season,” she shared. “My husband and I drove through the streets and resuscitated our romance, and it is very important to bring back romantic moments in life. Go on holidays together, leaving the children at home, listen to good music there are many things that I can’t tell here.”

The legendary actor emphasized that busy schedules often cause couples to lose sight of their bond. Taking dedicated time to reconnect, she noted, breathes new energy into a relationship. She also added a lighthearted comparison between cities, pointing out why Islamabad provided the ideal backdrop for their break.
“In Karachi, we can’t be romantic because as soon as you go out for a drive, either your car gets stuck in a ditch or the dust comes in your face. So, Islamabad is a beautiful, romantic place.”
Atiqa’s candid reflection serves as a beautiful reminder for modern couples: no matter how demanding work and family life become, carving out private moments together is essential for keeping romance alive.
