Babra Sharif is a former Pakistani film and television actress and producer. She was one of the most successful leading ladies of the Pakistani film industry, and her on-screen pairings with Shahid, Nadeem, Ghulam Muhiuddin and Faisal Rehman were widely loved by audiences. Babra Sharif also appeared in the television play Nadan Nadia, which was appreciated by fans. Although she is currently away from the film industry, she often appears at award shows, interviews, and public events.
Recently, Babra Sharif was spotted at a film event where she expressed her concerns about the declining film industry and requested new actors to stop showing tantrums.
Talking about it, Babra Sharif said, “Ghulam Mohiuddin and I started our careers together. Our success was not solely our credit; we had great people and teams supporting us. We were lucky to work with legends. I request new artists to stop throwing tantrums at producers. I have heard that actors demand vanity vans and special food arrangements. We used to bring food from our homes for ourselves and the staff.”
She further added, “I came to know that lead artists are demanding hefty amounts of money as film fee. We were so accommodating, we used to do our own makeup while sitting on coasters. We would visit locations, change there, and get ready ourselves. We never made unreasonable demands. Films should not upset people; films are meant for entertainment. Let them remain a fantasy. There is no film without songs. You people have removed music from films. Remake our old film stories—India has copied us so much. We were newcomers when we were given opportunities to work, bring new people”
Babra Sharif’s statements about new actors’ tantrums and the survival of films are receiving mixed reactions. Many people believe that she genuinely cares about the declining film industry and that her observations are completely accurate. Others, however, criticized the old-school approach of Pakistani filmmakers, arguing that the industry cannot be revived in the same way because filmmaking has become a business and is now beyond the financial reach of the common man.
