Shaista Lodhi said, “When I read Samjhota’s script, I was sure that I would do it, we all think that the parents are only there for house hold tasks after a certain age, I liked an elder couple’s love in the drama also I loved that they are showing marriage of that man.”

She added, “In Our society, when our parents reach a certain age, we think that they can’t marry, we don’t think about our parents marriage, I found it as food of thought. It is necessary, we should tell our elders that they have a life why we want them not to enjoy life, why we want our parents to rest or remain inactive.”
She maintained, “We, as society are ignoring elderly people, we only cater a certain age group which gives you rating.” Lodhi further said, “Why mother and father can’t love, why they can’t be happy, is it only the younger couples who can enjoy the life or share happy moments together.” Apart from acting and hosting, Shaista Lodhi is a brilliant practicing doctor.
