In a recent heartfelt conversation on ARY Digital’s popular morning show, Good Morning Pakistan, Hareem Farooq, one of Pakistan’s most beloved actresses, opened up about a dream that she had nurtured since childhood,
A dream of becoming like the iconic Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. This revelation offers a glimpse into the personal journey and evolution of a star who has captured the hearts of many with her talent and charm.
A Childhood Dream of Royalty
During her candid chat with the show’s host, Nida Yasir, Hareem Farooq shared that, as a child, she harbored a deep-seated aspiration to be like Lady Diana. “I used to always tell my parents I could feel royal blood in me and that we must have roots in a royal family
she confessed with a smile. Farooq’s fascination with royalty and the grace that Princess Diana epitomized was more than just a fleeting admiration, it was a powerful, guiding force in her early years.
The actress was deeply drawn to Diana’s elegance, compassion, and the way she connected with people, attributes that Farooq, even at a young age, sought to embody.
The Shift to Humanitarian Ideals
As Farooq grew older, her dreams evolved. After her royal aspirations, she found herself drawn to the selfless life of Mother Teresa, a figure revered for her humanitarian work.
“After that, I wanted to be like Mother Teresa,” Farooq recounted. However, she soon realized that emulating such a life of complete devotion to others would require significant sacrifices—sacrifices she was not ready to make.
“I soon realized that I would have to give up on a lot of things to be like her, so that idea was also dropped eventually,” she explained.
This phase of her life reflects a period of introspection, where Farooq grapples with the idea of selflessness versus the desire to lead a fulfilling personal life.
An Unexpected Path to Stardom
Interestingly, despite these grand aspirations, acting was never on the cards for Hareem Farooq. She revealed that she never envisioned herself in the entertainment industry. “But never in my life,
I thought of becoming an actor,” she admitted. Instead, she was certain of one thing: she wanted to enjoy life and not be burdened by the seriousness of adult responsibilities.
Farooq’s journey into acting, therefore, appears to be more of a serendipitous twist of fate rather than a lifelong ambition.
Yet, it is a path that has brought her immense success and fulfillment, as she has grown into one of the leading actresses in Pakistan’s television and film industry.
A Flourishing Career
Today, Hareem Farooq’s career is a testament to her versatility and talent. Her recent return to television screens with the serial Bismil marks another milestone in her flourishing career.
Directed by the renowned Aehsun Talish and written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah, Bismil is a drama that has quickly captured the audience’s attention with its compelling storyline and powerful performances.
Farooq stars alongside industry heavyweights such as Naumaan Ijaz, Savera Nadeem, and Behroz Sabzwari, further cementing her status as a leading actress.
Bismil airs every Wednesday and Thursday during prime time on ARY Digital and has become a must-watch for drama enthusiasts across the country.
The show’s success is yet another feather in Farooq’s cap, showcasing her ability to take on diverse roles and bring them to life with authenticity and depth.
