Boys gathered to watch actress change clothes on set, reveals Areej Chaudhary

Actress  Areej Chaudhary has shared a disturbing incident from the early days of her career, revealing how a young actress was watched by several men while changing clothes on a drama set.

During a recent appearance on Nida Yasir’s morning show, where fellow actresses Maimuna Quddus and Sara Umair were also guests, Areej opened up about the experience and how it left her shocked and angry.

She recalled that during a shoot in Lahore, a new actress began changing her clothes on set, and the situation quickly turned uncomfortable.

"She was forced to work for money," Areej said, "and when she went to change her clothes during the shoot, all the technical and other boys on set gathered around."

According to Areej, the moment the actress started changing, "a boy noticed her and then called all the other boys to come see." At first, Areej didn’t realize what was happening. But once she understood the situation, she felt deeply disturbed.

"I didn’t know what to do," she said. "I was new to the industry, and there were senior actors on set too."

Seeing the crowd gather, Areej approached the actress and explained what was going on. "As soon as I told her, she started crying profusely," Areej added.

She said, "The room where the girl went to change clothes was built with a type of glass which allowed  people standing outside to look in but the person inside the room was not aware of this."

Areej comforted the girl afterward, saying, "What was supposed to happen has happened. Nothing more will happen now. Please stop crying, and be careful next time."
