Sabeena Farooq is the latest sensation in the drama industry. She was getting a lot of attention for her role as Haya in the blockbuster Tere Bin and then suddenly came Kabli Pulao where she won hearts as Barbeena. Barbeena is a character that has put Sabeena Farooq on the map. Her innocence and the way she picked up the cultural nuances of an Afghan girl made people fall in love with her.
She gave an interview to Maliha Rehman and talked about the struggles she has been through and achievements she has now under her belt. Sabeena shared that she is not happy about certain fandoms messaging her and saying that she got Kabli Pulao because she worked with certain big names in the industry. She has worked with Wahaj Ali and Yumna Zaidi before Kabli Pulao aired and many of the fans are attributing Sabeena’s success to Tere Bin’s success. This is a credit that Sabeena would not want to see being taken away from her as she did Kabli Pulao a year and a half before signing Tere Bin.
Here is what she shared:
Sabeena also stated that no senior actors have ever defended her in the face of this hate that she was getting and her credit that was being taken away.
This is what she stated:
She also said in a previous interview that Indian fans are better than Pakistani fans as they can differentiate between an actor and her work but Pakistani fans kept abusing her thinking she is Haya. She added that many people said that she is giving such statements as she wants to work in India after her statmenet came out but that is not true and she still feels her Indian fans celebrated her more.
