10 Actresses 25 years & under

There are many talented youths in Pakistan, especially in the entertainment industry. Generally models debut as actresses, though this is not always the case. To claim fame and critical success when you are hardly 25 years of age is a big achievement. I have put together a list of 10 actresses who are 25 years of age and under, with a bit of information on each.
NOTE: Ages are taken from Wikipedia.
