Naeema Butt, known for her role as Rubab in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, recently shared her candid thoughts about the Pakistani entertainment industry on Instagram. She highlighted issues of exclusion, competition, and performative feminism within showbiz.
Reflecting on her experiences, she wrote, “Support and camaraderie are often touted on social media but rarely reflected in reality. As women, we should empower each other rather than perpetuating competition and exclusion.” Naeema expressed concern about colleagues exerting control in ways that stifle opportunities, calling for a shift towards genuine inclusivity and support.

She also criticized the superficial nature of feminism in the industry, saying, “It’s disheartening to see feminism reduced to a social media facade, seeking praise rather than meaningful change.” Her remarks have sparked conversations about the disconnect between online advocacy and real progress.
Naeema’s journey itself reflects her resilience. In a recent interview, she shared her decision to pursue acting over medicine, revealing, “The day of my MBBS exam, I realized I didn’t want to be a doctor. It wasn’t about the exam but a moment of profound self-awareness.”
