- Saheefa Jabbar Khattak shared her financial struggles.
- She talked about life lessons she learned in her acting journey.
- She addresses the difficulties of sustaining a household.
During her appearance on After Hours with Ushna Shah, the Rafta Rafta star shared the financial struggles and life lessons she has learned in her acting journey.
“Making a living through acting alone isn’t easy,” Saheefa revealed, addressing the difficulties of sustaining a household. She explained, “In our dramas, we don't make enough money to keep our kitchens running. It can't run unless I’m doing four projects in a year and also working on social media… making appearances and hustling a lot.”
Reflecting on her career, Saheefa acknowledged the privilege that comes with her work, contrasting it with the struggles faced by the crew. “We are very privileged… very, very privileged. We come to the set in a car, we have AC… we get food. Our job is tough, I don’t contest that… but when I see the rest of the crew members who hold things for us while we do a scene, who make sure the sunlight doesn't affect us… it makes me realise how privileged we are.”
Saheefa also emphasized the importance of meaningful work. “In my 8-10 years, I’ve learned that out of 10-15 projects, there’s always one that speaks to your heart, and you do it for that one project.”
Her candid insights offer a glimpse into the perseverance and gratitude required to navigate the entertainment industry.
