A popular trend on TikTok shows people from different backgrounds explaining who they are in humorous takes starting with, “I am a..”. Actress Zhalay Sarhadi decided to take part in the trend to satirically yet honestly about what it’s like being an actor in Pakistan.
“I’m a Pakistani actress, of course, I get abused on social media; my sleeveless dresses are the reason for natural disasters; I get acting projects on the basis of my social media following; I can only portray side characters after turning 30; and fair complexion is as important for me as filters for beauty influencers,” Sarhadi said in the video, shared with the caption “Ruffling feathers? No, it’s just my experience/opinion that’s all!!!”
The video has become popular, with thousands of Zhalay Sarhadi’s followers watching it and giving her lots of likes. But people had different opinions about it. Some agreed with Sarhadi and shared similar experiences, while others criticized her in the comments. Zhalay Sarhadi often shares entertaining stuff on her social media, like funny Instagram reels and trending TikTok videos.
