On set with... Nina Wadia
This week we have been mostly dealing with NINA WADIA!
And what a delight she's been.
Her character, Zainab Masood, may be a controlled, tough-talking businesswoman with a tongue so sharp it could restyle a barnet, but that matriarch is left on set quicker than you can say: "Cut!"
Of course, Zainab shines with a wicked sense of humour too, but I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't a fabulous input from Nina herself.
Is the former Goodness, Gracious Me star really funny? Oh. Yes. Check out how we spent time with the loveable Nina this week (and see her 'losing face' in prep for the British Soap Awards). Ho ho ho.
