Actress Sabeena Farooq recently sat down for a candid interview in which she delved into showbiz challenges and mixed experiences with her online fans. The Kabuli Pulao actress disclosed that she has received a shocking amount of bitterness online from Pakistani fans.

Sabeena said, “I have said this before and people said to me then that I am dying to go and work in India but if you can’t digest the truth, that’s not my fault.” Contrasting her reception in Pakistan with that in India, she contended that the latter expresses a better appreciation of her work and the art of acting.

“Why should I lie and say that my people have given me a lot of love?” She posed the question, underlining how her role as an antagonist (Haya) in 2022 drama Tere Bin was received by Indian fans. “Indians understand the work. Those people appreciated Haya’s character as a good character which was played well by somebody,” she stated. Sabeena furthered on, “They say that the show would lack spice without Haya. This is sad because I want people here to understand similarly.”
