Ayesha Omar Opens Up About Struggles in Early Showbiz Career

Karachi:Renowned Pakistani actress and producer Ayesha Omar has revealed that stepping into the entertainment industry at a young age exposed her to many challenges, including inappropriate behavior from some colleagues.

Speaking as a guest on a comedy show, Ayesha shared that in the early days of her career, people often failed to take her seriously due to her young age and lively personality. *“Many men tried to cross boundaries, and I had to present myself as strong so that no one would consider me weak,”* she said.

The actress explained that adopting a **no-nonsense attitude** became necessary, especially after she moved from Lahore to Karachi to live alone. *“When you’re a young woman living by yourself, people assume you’re vulnerable, so I had to become tougher to protect myself,”* she added.

Ayesha Omar also admitted to making some mistakes in her career, including participating in award shows for which she still has not received full payment.

Her candid revelations have once again sparked discussions about the challenges faced by women in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, particularly those who enter the field at a young age.
