(Web Desk) - Emerging actress Zainab Mazhar recently got candid about her personal journey through heartbreak during an appearance on a show.
The rising talent opened up about the pain of a past betrayal—and the resilience it took to move forward.
Zainab’s entry into the entertainment world began during her university days, where she hosted a radio show called Guru. The show became an unexpected hit, with listeners calling in for relationship advice—a bittersweet irony, given Zainab’s own struggles with love at the time.
Though acting wasn’t her first ambition, Zainab eventually found her passion on stage. “Acting lets me express emotions I normally suppress in real life,” she shared.
For her, the stage became a space to laugh, cry, and feel freely—something life often doesn't allow.
The conversation turned deeply emotional as she discussed unrequited love. “One-sided affection isn’t love – it’s torment,” she said with raw honesty. A strong believer in open communication, Zainab said she prefers to be upfront if she develops feelings for someone.
She bravely recalled the betrayal that left her emotionally shattered. “My ex made excuses about being forced into the situation, but I eventually realized it was all calculated deception,” she revealed. The experience left lasting scars and took her a long time to heal from.
Now in a healthier emotional space, Zainab even joked about her ideal match: someone tall like her, ideally resembling actors Bilal Abbas or Fawad Khan.
Her transformation—from a heartbroken radio host to a self-assured actress—is a compelling story of growth and grit. In a rapidly evolving Pakistani entertainment scene, Zainab Mazhar is proving that vulnerability and strength can go hand in hand.
