Hareem Farooq refuses to let body shaming dictate her career choices

You can get uncomfortable if you want to, but I am not going to do that to myself,” she added.Farooq also pointed to what she sees as a contradiction in public reactions to her appearance: while some people comment on her weight, they continue to watch her dramas. “Public reactions always have comments about me gaining weight, but her face is pretty.

At the same time, they are still watching my dramas, and that is why I am even sitting here,” she said.Despite the scrutiny, Farooq said she had never turned down a professional opportunity because of comments about her body. “I have never left an opportunity or project because of this,” she said.She distinguished between changing her appearance to satisfy public expectations and undergoing a physical transformation for a role, saying….

She questioned why different body types should not be represented and celebrated on screen, challenging the assumption that actresses must fit a particular physical ideal.Alongside her acting career, Farooq has continued to expand her work as a producer.Her latest film, Mango Jutt, pairs her with Faysal Quraishi in a Punjabi-language action comedy blending romance, humour and action.

The film marks her return to the big screen after Heer Maan Ja (2019) and her debut in a Punjabi-language production.
