Nooray Zeeshan, who gained fame for her role as Aniya in the popular drama Parwarish, has recently opened up about her own personal experience with bullying. In her portrayal of Aniya, Nooray brought to life the struggles that many teenagers face in school—one of the key issues being bullying. Little did her fans know, the heart-wrenching scenes in Parwarish closely mirrored her own painful past.
In Parwarish, Aniya faces bullying from her peers at school, a storyline that resonated deeply with viewers. In the drama, her character is bullied by classmates and finds solace and support from her brother, Wali (played by Samar Jafri), and cousin Sameer. The emotional scenes went viral, with many fans expressing how relatable and impactful the depiction was. However, it wasn’t just fiction for Nooray—her own life experiences echoed the pain her character went through.
During a recent guest appearance on Fuchsia, Nooray Zeeshan bravely revealed that she, too, faced bullying during her school years. She shared that while she was on the school bus, bullies would target her by stepping on her shoes, making her appear as if she were violating the school uniform policy. On top of that, they would ink her uniform stole, leaving marks that were hard to hide. One of the worst incidents occurred when a boy pushed her, causing her to fall to the ground. These traumatic moments took a toll on Nooray, but the hardest part was that she felt too scared to speak out. She revealed that opening up about the bullying was difficult because she feared the reactions of her loved ones.
Nooray’s bullying experience started in class 5, where students from higher grades, ranging from 8th to 10th, would torment her. Despite the trauma, Nooray kept it to herself for a long time, unsure how to ask for help or how people would perceive her situation. The actress courageously opened up about how silence can often seem like the only option when dealing with bullying.
Today, Nooray’s journey serves as a powerful message for those who are facing similar challenges. Her experience both on-screen and in real life highlights the urgent need to address bullying in our schools and communities. By speaking out, Nooray not only empowers other victims of bullying but also encourages a much-needed dialogue on this often-overlooked issue.
Watch what Nooray Zeeshan said:
While Nooray’s character Aniya in Parwarish found support and protection from her family, many real-life victims of bullying don’t always have the same support system. Nooray’s candidness serves as a reminder to always stand up against bullying and to offer support to those who are suffering in silence.
