Pakistani actress and model Nosheen Shah recently shared in an interview that it is quite common for women working in showbiz to face estrangement from close relatives after choosing this career path.
Societal Attitudes Toward Actresses
Nosheen Shah explained that women in the entertainment industry still face suspicion and hesitation from society. Many people are reluctant to associate with actresses due to prevailing social pressures. She revealed that actresses often encounter rejection not only from outsiders but sometimes from their own family members as well.
Opposition from Relatives
Nosheen highlighted that it is not uncommon for close relatives such as maternal uncles, paternal uncles, or maternal aunts to sever ties with actresses because they do not accept this profession. She candidly shared that even her own mother initially opposed her decision to enter showbiz but later recognized her hard work and became her biggest supporter.
A Story of Courage and Determination
The actress emphasized that her mother’s approval was crucial to her success. She encouraged women in showbiz to stay courageous and determined, assuring them that despite societal obstacles, hard work ultimately leads to success.
