What began as a light-hearted episode soon turned into a heartfelt conversation when the actress candidly spoke about the challenges she faced early in her career, a painful recent breakup, and the loss of her car, all of which clearly weighed heavily on her.
From Rejection to Recognition: The Tough Road to Fame
Sakina Khan revealed that the beginning of her acting journey was anything but easy.I was discouraged right from the start, she recalled. “People said all kinds of things to me, trying to make me give up.
Despite the negativity, Sakina refused to let go of her dreams. She kept working hard, often accepting minor roles and brief appearances in dramas, just to prove herself. There were times when I had only a line or two in a drama. But I did them with full dedication, she said.
Recalling how she was treated by some senior actors during her early days, Sakina said, They would throw me out of the room saying, ‘She’s new, throw her out. She described the atmosphere on set as discouraging, but also character-building. I knew if I gave up then, I’d never forgive myself.
Now, the tables have turned. Those same people who once dismissed her now praise her hard work and talent. “Their perspective has changed,” Sakina noted, her resilience clearly paying off over the years.
A Love Lost: The Emotional Breakup
During the program, the conversation shifted to Sakina’s personal life, and that’s when the emotional floodgates opened. In response to a question about love and heartbreak, Sakina admitted she had recently gone through a painful breakup.
I broke up with someone I trusted more than myself, she said, her voice cracking. She didn’t disclose whether she ended the relationship or was left by the other person, but admitted that no matter who walked away, the pain of two hearts separating remains the same.
The heartbreak is still fresh, and Sakina admitted that she still holds hope that the person she loved might one day return to her. “I’m still waiting,” she confessed, her eyes filling with tears.
Tears for a Stolen Dream
The emotional intensity of the show peaked when host Vasay Chaudhry gently asked her why she seemed so overwhelmed and sad. Was it the pain of heartbreak that brought tears to her eyes?
Sakina responded with a heartbreaking revelation: her car was stolen.
When I came from Karachi to Lahore for this program, my car was stolen, she said tearfully. I had worked so hard, saved every penny to buy that car. And now it’s gone.
It wasn’t just a car—it was a symbol of her independence, her journey, and her success. Losing it felt like losing a part of herself, and the pain was evident in every word she spoke.
