Recently seen in the drama serial ‘Jindo’ and as Daro in the film ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’, Humaima Malick made an appearance for a podcast with Mooroo and dished out important details about her career as an actress and the general criticism she has received from the audience over the years.
Humaima Malick on Feroze Khan
The actress talked about her brother Feroze Khan and the criticism that comes his way for being ‘religious’. She said, “If my brother is religious, they’ll tag him under my pictures, or they’ll tag me in one of my brother’s posts.” She further pointed out, “We’re individuals, okay? I am my own person, he is responsible for his own character, right?” Humaima stressed that it’s not right to throw shade on Feroze or herself because of them being siblings.
The actress also appreciated her brother’s commitment to his work and applauded him for his achievements. “Feroze started working when social media was already there. We made our accounts a little while back. Feroze is today’s boy. We have different strategies for working. He is more particular and punctual than me and he is less moody.”
She also added, “Feroze has a cult fan following. People usually come to meet him on Fridays when he leaves the house. Now people frequently refer to me as Feroze’s sister, and I am very proud.”
Humaima expresses her opinion on public scrutiny
Humaima did not shy away from talking about the criticism she received from the audience. She explicitly added in the interview that “people are always ready to criticize”.
Humaima went on to discuss that she receives selective criticism from the audience on her clothing choices. She expressed her opinion on how she is publicly bashed as compared to the rest of the actresses who wear more revealing clothes. She also talked about the unnecessary backlash she received after posting a video of her getting out of a pool, despite being clothed.
She also questioned the motivations behind the negative comments. “If you are sitting behind a screen and typing and criticizing someone just shows how frustrated people are. Then when they come to meet you and then they will say madam selfie le lein.”
The interview also featured Humaima’s discussion of her career choices over the years. She mentioned one of the reasons for her taking gaps during her acting career, “I was in a relationship and my partner did not want me to work. I am also the sort of person who wouldn’t like to work after getting married.”
The actress went on to praise ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ director Bilal Lashari, who ensured everyone felt comfortable on set during the shoot. She also shared her experience of working with Hamza Ali Abbasi for the first time in the film ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’.
