Areeka Haq Names the Actor Who Helped Her Through Depression

Areeka Haq, one of Pakistan’s most popular digital creators, has opened up about her battle with depression and the unexpected support she received during that time. With over 12 million followers on TikTok and 4.2 million on Instagram, Areeka has earned widespread fame for her engaging content and stylish persona. She has also featured in several hit music videos by top artists like Asim Azhar, Shamoon Ismail, and Young Stunners.

Recently, Areeka appeared on the Nukta Life podcast, where she shared a deeply personal chapter of her life. She revealed that despite having strong support from her family, the hate she faced online severely affected her mental health. Specifically, she recalled the backlash she received after appearing in a music video by Asim Azhar and Young Stunners. At just 17, she was bullied online, with people questioning why she was chosen for the video. The constant negativity eventually pushed her into depression.

During this challenging time, it was actress Saba Qamar who unexpectedly reached out and became a source of strength. Areeka shared, “Saba Qamar got my number from Asim Azhar. She called me and said, ‘I want to talk to Areeka.’ She gave me advice, calmed me down, and helped more than she knows. Her words were so healing that I didn’t even feel the need for therapy.”

The influencer emphasized how meaningful it was to receive support from someone she admired in the industry. Many fans have praised Saba Qamar’s kind gesture, highlighting the importance of empathy in the entertainment world.

As Areeka continues to grow in her career, her openness about mental health and gratitude for those who helped her reflect her maturity and resilience. Her story serves as a reminder of how one act of kindness can make a lasting difference in someone’s life.
