"He is extremely strict and disciplined at home.”
Zarqa Shahid, the sister of Shaan Shahid, has recently disclosed surprising details about her brother.
Shaan Shahid, a prominent figure in the Pakistani entertainment industry, has long been known for his strong opinions and unwavering principles.
However, Zarqa Shahid claimed that he once blocked her entry into showbiz.
She revealed that Shaan bore some beliefs regarding women in the family working on screen.
His staunch stance revolved around the adamant refusal to allow the family’s women to pursue on-screen work.
Whether in films or even modelling assignments, he restricted them from doing such work.
His actions revealed a deeply ingrained perspective on the role of women in showbiz.
However, a significant shift in Shaan’s outlook has come to light with the emergence of his daughter as a rising talent in the industry.
Despite his previous reservations, Shaan now stands firmly behind his daughter as she embarks on her own journey in show business.
Zarqa revealed: “He didn’t get angry much. But the thing that angered him extremely was girls joining the entertainment industry.
“When I got modelling offers while I was still young, he used to refuse. He is extremely strict and disciplined at home.”
Zarqa is currently pondering the transformation in Shaan’s views that now permit his daughter to enter the film industry.
She finds herself amazed by this shift in his perspective, yet she also expresses her joy at his changed stance.
She stated:
“I don’t know how his perspective changed in the case of his daughter.”
Embracing and supporting her passion for modelling, Shaan’s daughter has already made her mark by appearing in music videos.
She is also working on various modelling assignments. This includes her work for the clothing brand ‘Generation’.’
Shaan Shahid’s transition from staunch opposition to enthusiastic support for his daughter’s career aspirations marks a notable evolution in his perspective.
This shift reflects a change in his understanding and acceptance of women’s roles in the entertainment industry, particularly within his own family.
His initial views came as a surprise to many fans considering he comes from a showbiz lineage.
His father, Riaz Shahid, was a successful writer and producer, and his mother, Neelo Begum, was a renowned figure in her own right.
Shaan Shahid has carved out a distinguished career in Lollywood.
Now, his daughter is poised to carry forward the family’s entertainment legacy to the new generation.
Zarqa Shahid has also entered the industry now as a producer. However, she still has her doubts, adding:
“Honestly, I think the industry is not made for me.”
