Nausheen Shah Opens Up About Losing Relatives After Acting Career

Nausheen Shah is a Pakistani actress and model, known for her bold personality and powerful performances. She recently spoke openly in an interview about the social challenges women face in the entertainment industry. Nausheen revealed that sometimes even close family members—like uncles and aunts—choose to distance themselves when a woman becomes an actress.

Nausheen, who rose to fame with notable roles in hit dramas like Pani Jaisa Piyar and Rehaai, shared that society still views actresses with suspicion. Many people feel uncomfortable if their wife or daughter-in-law works in the public eye. She said this hesitation isn’t just from strangers—it can come from within the home too.

She recalled how after joining showbiz, some relatives like mamoon, chacha, and khala cut ties simply because of her career choice. Despite this emotional hardship, she remained focused on her passion and skills. Highlights of her work include playing Dua in Pani Jaisa Piyar and Noor Jehan in Rehaai—roles that won her acclaim and respect across Pakistan.

Nausheen Shah also emphasized the importance of her mother’s approval. She revealed her mother initially opposed her career, but later became her strongest supporter after witnessing her dedication. “My mother’s blessing is everything to me,” she said, underscoring how vital family support can be in a woman’s journey in showbiz.
