year’s Distinctive International Arab Festivals (DIAFA) awards and accepted the trophy for International Icon. </p> <p>The awards took place this past weekend in Dubai and even before the actress had come on stage, local social media had started buzzing with pictures of her on the DIAFA red carpet. The hashtag #SajalinDIAFA popped up on Twitter and there were plenty of haywire fans posting about how excited they were.</p> <figure class='media sm:w-full w-full media--center media--uneven media--stretch'> <div class='media__item '><picture><img src="https://i.dawn.com/primary/2020/12/5fc616f3bf792.jpg" srcset='https://i.dawn.com/medium/2020/12/5fc616f3bf792.jpg 500w, https://i.dawn.com/large/2020/12/5fc616f3bf792.jpg 800w, https://i.dawn.com/primary/2020/12/5fc616f3bf792.jpg 800w' sizes='(min-width: 992px) 800px, (min-width: 768px) 800px, 500px' alt="" /></picture></div> </figure> <p> </p> <p>Sajal is extremely well-loved, obviously. But it surprised me that this fact wasn’t quite so obvious to the actress herself. </p> <p>Talking to her after her DIAFA win, she confessed to me, “Sometimes, I am just overwhelmed by my fans. I wonder if they truly are for real. After the DIAFA’s, I checked social media and there was such an outpouring of love from them. Different publications were writing about my award but more than anything else, my fans were so happy that they made the news even more of a big deal for me.”</p> <p>She continues, “I have never believed in especially publicising myself on social media or getting my PR to put news about me in the headlines. I have always felt that my job is to do my work well and give it my best and if people like it, it will take me places without me having to emphasise on it. So it’s very special to me when I attend an international awards ceremony and all on its own, people get excited and start spreading the news.”</p> <p>Attending the DIAFA’s was exciting for Sajal because she was being recognised on an international platform. “Most importantly, I was representing my country internationally and it’s just made me want to do more, work harder and bring more pride to Pakistan,” she says.</p> <figure class='media w-full w-full media--stretch media--uneven media--embed '> <div class='media__item media__item--relative media__item--instagram '> <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"> <div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;"><a href="https://instagram.com/p/CIMEBaEhYlS/" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none;" target="_top">A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram)</a> on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2015-03-22T18:21:59+00:00">Mar 22, 2015 at 11:21am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote></div> </figure> <p> </p> <p>Was she nervous, especially considering that she attended the ceremony on her own, without friends or family from home with her? “Yes, my family wasn’t there with me but even normally, I get nervous very often,” Sajal confesses. </p> <p>“Regardless of how confident I may be about my work, when the spotlight is on me and I am about to step on stage my heart starts hammering loudly. Even otherwise, when I get praised, I sometimes get flustered or just find it unbelievable.”</p> <p>Speaking like the consummate actress that she is, she continues, “Fortunately, I have noticed that the fear and nervousness isn’t there when I am acting. The camera rolls and I just become someone else, some character that I am playing.”</p> <p>We move on to what she wore at the DIAFA’S – a basic suit rather than the elaborate gowns that tend to be the outfits du jour at such ceremonies. “It was from my own wardrobe and no, it wasn’t designer wear,” says Sajal. </p> <p>“I decided to wear something simple, something that I could wear again and again. This year has been strange for all of us and I am increasingly beginning to feel that we need to place less focus on material things like clothes. We need to start thinking about sustainability and prioritise what we consider important in our lives.” </p> <figure class='media sm:w-full w-full media--center '> <div class='media__item '><picture><img src="https://i.dawn.com/primary/2020/12/5fc617e2d8ae7.jpg" srcset='https://i.dawn.com/medium/2020/12/5fc617e2d8ae7.jpg 500w, https://i.dawn.com/large/2020/12/5fc617e2d8ae7.jpg 800w, https://i.dawn.com/primary/2020/12/5fc617e2d8ae7.jpg 1200w' sizes='(min-width: 992px) 1200px, (min-width: 768px) 800px, 500px' alt="" /></picture></div> </figure> <p> </p> <p>Of course, an actress of Sajal Aly’s prowess doesn’t need clothing choices to define her work. She has an extensive, incredible repertoire of work as her claim to fame and masses of fans, all over the world, cheering for her and following her incessantly. Sajal – in all her refreshing modesty – may find their love to be unbelievable, but it certainly is there. The hype following the DIAFA’s was merely one example of this.</p> </div> <div class="flex flex-row gap-4 justify-center my-5">  <div class="social js-social-fb social--icon social--black social--flat social--facebook mr-2 ml-2 "> <a class=" h-full w-full outline-none inline-block " onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Share on Facebook', 'width=640, height=536')" rel='noreferrer' href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1186098&display=popup&ref=plugin" target="_blank"><img width="20" height="20" src="/_img/social/icon-fb-black.png" /></a> </div> <div class="social js-social-twitter social--icon social--black social--flat social--twitter mr-2 ml-2 "> <a class=' h-full w-full outline-none inline-block ' onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Tweet', 'width=640, height=300')" rel='noreferrer' href="https://twitter.com/share?text=Sometimes%20I%20wonder%20if%20my%20fans%20truly%20are%20for%20real%3A%20Sajal%20Aly%20talks%20about%20her%20DIAFA%20award&url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1186098&counturl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1186098" target="_blank"><img width="20" height="20" src="/_img/social/icon-twitter-black.png" /></a> </div> <div class="social js-social-whatsapp social--whatsapp mr-2 ml-2 social--icon social--black social--flat"> <a class="inline-block uppercase align-middle text-gray-400" target="_blank" href="WhatsApp://send?text=Sometimes%20I%20wonder%20if%20my%20fans%20truly%20are%20for%20real%3A%20Sajal%20Aly%20talks%20about%20her%20DIAFA%20award%20%0A%20https%3A%2F%2Fimages.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1186098%3Fref%3Dwhatsapp"> <img class="inline-block float-left mr-0.5 mb-2" width="" height="" src="/_img/social/icon-whatsapp-black.png" /> <span class=""></span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="hidden md:block absolute top-0 right-0 sm:mt-20 md:w-3/10">  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1683363860950-0' class='ad__wrapper__slot ' data-rendered-classes="" data-name="Dawn-Responsive-SKY-MREC" data-height="600px" data-width="300px" > <script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1683363860950-0'); });</script> </div>  </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="flex justify-center relative bg-default px-2 sm:px-10 mb-4 border-b border-gray-300"> <div class="w-9/10 sm:w-3/5 md:w-2/5 sm:mt-10 md:mr-6 mb-10 "> <section id="comments-1186098 mb-10" class="comments"> <div class="py-2"> <h2 id='comments' dir='auto' class='badge inline-flex font-bebas transition duration-300 text-16 uppercase align-middle'>Comments</h2> </div> <div class="button-container border-t-2 border-solid border-black mb-6"> <button type="button" data-type='votes' class="font-bebas border-none px-2 py-1 outline-none js-comments-sort ml-1 float-right text-gray-400 uppercase">Popular</button> <button type="button" data-type='new' class="font-bebas border-none px-2 py-1 outline-none js-comments-sort ml-1 float-right text-gray-400 uppercase">Latest</button> </div> <div class="comment pt-4 mt-4" id="252803" data-id=0 style="border-top: 1px solid #dbc4be; color: rgb(171, 121, 109)"> <div class="flex"> <div class="w-11/12"> <div class="font-bebas tracking-widest font-fjalla flex flex-row items-center"> <span class="comment__author text-3.5 font-semibold">Tariq</span> <span class="ml-2 font-bebas timeago comment__date text-gray-600 text-2.5" title="2020-12-01T15:44:23+05:00"><span class='timestamp--time timeago' title='2020-12-01T15:44:23+05:00'>Dec 01, 2020 03:44pm</span></span> </div> <div class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words text-gray-600 my-4 comment__body text-4 leading-5">Watch the event and surprised to see Saajal nominated for award.
