Sadia Khateeb is riding high on her performance in the recently released John Abraham starrer The Diplomat. The political thriller, directed by Shivam Nair and written by Ritesh Shah, is set against the backdrop of Indo-Pak relations, with a deep dive into diplomacy and the personal conflicts faced by diplomats.
