"Whatever I say, it turns into a controversy."
Popular Pakistani actor and model Nazish Jahangir revealed that she often feels like she is Pakistan’s Kangana Ranaut.
During her appearance on Geo News show Hasna Mana Hai, she said:
“I get pulled into issues for no reason, and sometimes it makes me feel like Pakistan’s Kangana Ranaut.”
The comparison referred to the Bollywood actress known for multiple controversies and constant media attention, highlighting the unfair scrutiny Nazish faces.
Talking about persistent rumours surrounding her personal and professional life, she admitted:
“Whatever I say, it turns into a controversy, even though I gain nothing from it.”
She dismissed the notion that controversies enhance an actor’s career, adding:
“Not a single controversy has ever given me extra work or opportunities.”
Nazish expressed frustration with false stories spreading online, saying:
“I don’t like controversy. Once something spreads, it is impossible to control it.
“I cannot clarify every misunderstanding or make everyone understand the truth.”
The actress revealed that a major controversy started simply because she refused a marriage proposal.
The controversy triggered widespread speculation and gossip about her life, leading to false narratives.
She said: “Strange rumours kept spreading about me, including claims that I quietly got married and left showbiz.”
Nazish Jahangir reflected on how minor personal decisions become public fodder. Commenting on public perception, she noted:
“If I don’t appear in a drama for some time, people automatically start making up stories.”
“And the chain of misinformation about my life begins.”
Despite the constant attention and unfair public narratives, Nazish stated that she continues to prioritise her work and growth as an actor.
The actress said that she believes her talent and range continue to be her strongest professional assets.
Nazish has built her career steadily through a variety of television roles, making her debut in Bharosa in 2017.
Following that, she appeared in multiple dramas such as Saraab, Berukhi, Dil Tanha Tanha, and Kahin Deep Jaley.
Other notable appearances include Tohmat, Kam Zarf, and Meray Mohsin.
Her performances in these dramas showcase her versatility and dedication to the craft despite ongoing scrutiny.
Nazish Jahangir’s candid remarks underline the challenges faced by female actors in Pakistan, where personal choices often become public entertainment.
Her reflections also point to the difficulty of maintaining a career while navigating rumours and societal expectations in the entertainment industry.
