‘Actors post friendly videos, but reality is very different,’ says Naeema Butt

Renowned actress Naeema Butt, who played the bold character Rabab in Kabhi Mein, Kabhi Tum, has revealed that she dealt with fake friendships and double standards from her co-stars during the shoot.

While appearing on the comedy show Gap Shab, Naeema opened up about her personal experiences in the entertainment industry, especially the duplicity she noticed during the filming of the hit drama.

“I won’t speak about others, but I can share what I went through,” she said, claiming that most friendships in the showbiz world are just for show and only exist on social media.

"Actors often post friendly videos and pictures together online, but the reality is quite different."

According to Naeema, during the shoot of Kabhi Mein, Kabhi Tum, “some co-stars who acted friendly on camera would change their behaviour once the camera stopped rolling.”

“At one point, I wasn’t even allowed to appear on stage with them after filming ended,” she recalled.

“There’s a lot I could say about what happened behind the scenes,” Naeema added, “but I’ve chosen to stay quiet.” She mentioned learning a life lesson from that experience that not every friendly gesture is genuine friendship.

Naeema added that the photos and videos taken with her on set were used to gain attention on social media. “They wanted to show the world that big stars are friendly with everyone,” she said, “but it was all for show.”

Although she didn’t name anyone, the prominent co-stars in the drama included Hania Aamir, Fahad Mustafa, Areej Chaudhry, Imad Irfani, Bushra Ansari, and Javed Sheikh. During the shooting, several behind-the-scenes videos and pictures of Naeema with Hania, Imad, and Fahad went viral. However, Naeema's remarks now indicate that perhaps those viral moments were not as real as they seemed.
