Aina Asif, an emerging Pakistani TV star known for her captivating performances in dramas like Mayi Ri, Baby Baji, Hum Tum, Pinjra, and Pehli Si Muhabbat, has become a household name in a short span. A bright student with a promising future, Aina is balancing her education alongside her blossoming acting career. Currently, she’s receiving accolades for her roles in Judwaa and Parwarish.
Recently, Aina appeared on Something Haute’s YouTube show where she addressed her viral statement about depression. During the conversation, she took the opportunity to clarify her comments, which had sparked controversy. Aina explained, “When discussing topics we can relate to, I participated because I could understand the conversation. However, I believe my choice of words could have been better.”
She further elaborated on the topic, emphasizing the sensitivity of mental health in Pakistan. Aina shared, “Talking about depression and seeking therapy is still considered taboo here. Asking for help should be seen as an act of courage. I once visited a psychiatrist who questioned my belief in Allah, which left me feeling inferior. It’s deeply humiliating, especially when you’re already doing your best as a Muslim. Only you know the strength of your connection with Allah.”
Aina also pointed out that just like physical illnesses, mental health issues need both prayers and medical treatment. “People struggling with mental health face difficulties performing everyday tasks. We need both spiritual and professional support,” she added.
This insightful discussion has given Aina a platform to spread awareness about mental health in Pakistan, encouraging open dialogue on a topic that has long been stigmatized.
Fans have appreciated Aina’s honesty and her approach to addressing sensitive issues, as she continues to break stereotypes both on and off the screen.
