Pakistani actor and content creator Arslan Naseer has opened up about his experiences studying abroad, revealing how he worked multiple jobs while pursuing an education.
Recalling his time overseas during a recent appearance on a YouTube show, Naseer said that he had to manage daily tasks independently, unlike the comforts many boys enjoy while living with their families in Pakistan.
“In Pakistan, as you know, boys have it very easy at home. Mothers take care of everything, and even things like peeling fruit are done for you. It’s only when you go abroad that you realize there are no such things, and you have to peel your own fruit or struggle to get things done,” he said.
Naseer revealed that he worked as a security guard and delivery boy while studying at university. He also shared that his first job was as a cashier at a pizza shop.
“My routine back then was that I had university in the morning, and the entire night I worked as a security guard, taking books along to study while on duty,” he recalled.
Despite juggling studies with demanding work schedules, Naseer described his experiences as positive and memorable.
Naseer rose to fame through his digital platform, Comics by Arslan (CBA), where his comic content, drama parodies and cricket-related videos attracted a wide audience.
He also worked on the script of the animated series Burka Avenger before making his television acting debut in the 2021 Ramadan drama Chupke Chupke.
He later appeared in other dramas including Paristan, Neem and Radd.
