Durefishan Saleem briefly paused her hectic shooting schedule to jet into Lahore and soak in the revived Basant festivities, sharing glimpses of her whirlwind trip on Instagram. The actress admitted she made the trip purely due to Basant FOMO, capturing the spirit of the city’s colorful festival in just a few hours.
In the posts, Durefishan posed on a rooftop at night, wearing an elegant ivory outfit with delicate lace sleeves, paired with a mustard yellow dupatta that contrasted beautifully against the Lahore skyline. In another frame, she held a vibrant purple and green kite, a symbolic element of Basant celebrations, while a candid shot highlighted her stack of bright yellow bangles, nodding to traditional festival colors. The carousel was set to Patang Baaz Sajna Se by Fariha Pervez, a song closely associated with Basant nostalgia, adding an authentic festive vibe.
Durefishan’s Basant appearance comes at a peak moment in her career. She started as a model before successfully transitioning into acting, quickly becoming one of television’s leading actresses. Her breakout role in Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi introduced her to mainstream audiences, while performances in Khaie and the blockbuster Ishq Murshid solidified her reputation.
Known for her on-screen talent and off-screen authenticity, Durefishan has built a loyal fanbase. Her decision to fly into Lahore just to experience Basant underscores her appreciation for personal, cultural, and joyful moments.
Currently, she is busy shooting for the upcoming drama serial Dar-e-Nijaat for ARY Digital, which is expected to air later this year, while continuing to engage with fans through social media updates.
