Actress Naeema Butt, known for her powerful portrayal of Rubab in the popular drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, is speaking out about the realities of the entertainment industry. In an honest hosted by a private channel, she discussed the fake friendships often seen in the industry and subtly called out her co-stars for their insincere behavior.
Butt revealed that much of the camaraderie shared between actors on social media is not as genuine as it appears. "I have seen that people are just being fake friends for Instagram or at least that is what my experience was regarding the industry’s inner workings," she confessed.
The actress admitted to initially being thrilled by the support she received from her co-actors, especially as a newcomer in the industry. She thought their online praise was a sign of true appreciation. However, she soon realized that her assumptions were naive. “I was wrong to believe in such support,” she stated, adding that her co-stars' actions were far from supportive in real life.
While Naeema chose not to name names, her comments seemed to suggest tension with her fellow cast members. She recalled how some actors, who appeared friendly in Instagram photos, were actively trying to “push her off the stage” at public events. This revelation fueled speculation among fans who had already noticed subtle signs of discord.
Naeema’s candid words serve as a reminder that not everything is as it seems on social media. She urged her audience not to fall for the curated "friendship goals" portrayed online, emphasizing the difference between what is shown and what happens behind the scenes.
Her comments have sparked a conversation about the superficial nature of friendships in showbiz, shedding light on the challenges newcomers often face in the industry.
