Naeema Butt is ruling the screens right now with her strong portrayal as Rubab in the blockbuster drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Naeema Butt has done theatre, films and television and she is now getting a lot of love for her role. She is also a very intelligent artist and has strong opinions thanks to her experience in interactive theatre and working with victims of abuse.

She does not care about such practices and she is comfortable in her own skin.
