KARACHI: Industry veteran Marina Khan does not need any introduction. She has incredible roles and projects to her name that fans remember even to this day, decades after they first aired onscreen. Currently, she is starring in ongoing drama serial Aulaad alongside Mohammad Ahmed, Sunita Marshal, Furqan Qureshi and others. As always, she is impressive in her role of a mother suffering due to the changing attitudes of her grown-up children.
