Hina Tariq, a rising star in showbiz, talked candidly about her road to eventually star in plays during her recent appearance on “Good Morning Pakistan” to discuss her new serial.

In a rather open admission, Tariq said, “It just happened.” There isn’t any backstory.

She continued, “I’ve always wanted to watch myself on screen and to know if people would like to see me or not.”

Acting in dramas has always been my dream. But earlier, I was preoccupied with my schoolwork. “I moved from Lahore to Karachi to start working in dramas here so soon after finishing my studies,” the celebrity continued, adding that she began with advertisements before receiving offers for dramas after being approached through her Instagram handle.

“No, I’m the first one,” Tariq insisted when asked if she had any family members in the entertainment industry. Although it took me about a year to win my family’s approval, they are now all incredibly supportive and delighted.

Notably, Hina Tariq co-stars in the upcoming television series “Bharam” alongside Omer Shahzad and Rabya Kulsoom. Zainab Raza Afzal Khan, Muhammad Ahmed, Salma Hassan, Babar Ali, Arjuman Rahim and Zarafshan Aamir and Ahsan are also part of the title’s supporting cast.
