Senior Pakistani actress Parveen Akbar shared the reason why she stopped her daughter Rabya Kulsoom from joining showbiz at first.
Parveen Akbar is known for her powerful and graceful acting in radio, theatre, films, and dramas. Her performances always leave a strong impact on viewers.
Her son Faizan Sheikh, daughter-in-law Maham Aamir, and daughter Rabya Kulsoom are also part of the showbiz industry. But in the beginning, Parveen Akbar did not want her daughter to become an actress.
She was a guest on Beenish Parvez’s show where she talked about her career in showbiz and shared some personal stories.
She said that she herself has been connected to showbiz since childhood and started her career as a child artist. But when her daughter Rabya showed interest in acting, she did not allow her at that time.
According to Parveen Akbar, the time and environment were very different when she joined showbiz. She felt that the current situation is not suitable, and she did not think the showbiz environment was right for her daughter. At that time, Rabya was studying dentistry and later opened her own clinic after graduating.
Parveen shared that during this time, Rabya received an offer to act in a Chili Mili Jelly advertisement. When Rabya told her about it, she asked how the offer came. It turned out that the people offering the ad had visited the clinic and gave the offer there. Parveen allowed her to do just that one ad and told her son Faizan to go with Rabya to keep an eye on everything. After the ad, Rabya received 25,000 rupees, and she was very happy with it.
Parveen also revealed that around the same time, a marriage proposal came for Rabya from Rehan Nazim, who used to play cricket with Parveen’s younger son. They accepted the proposal, and Rabya got married. After marriage, when she received offers to act in dramas, her in-laws gave her permission to work because they have a liberal mindset. That is how Rabya Kulsoom was finally able to start her showbiz career.
Parveen Akbar said that every mother wants a safe and respectful environment for her daughter, and that is why she had stopped Rabya from entering showbiz in the beginning.
