Tuba Anwar, who is currently winning hearts with her performances in Pal Do Pal and Mohra, has had a rather unusual journey into acting. Before stepping into the world of television, she was working as an Associate Manager in Corporate Affairs at Geo. Acting, as she recalls, “just happened” to her.
“I got to know about some auditions that were happening, though I wasn’t sure if I would ever get work in this industry. Then, Sigma Productions called me for the drama Bharaas. That’s how it all started,” she shares.
Though she initially thought of herself as a serious person, Tuba quickly realized that an actor must explore different shades to truly survive in the industry. “You die as an actor when you keep playing the same characters for a long time. Diversity is the only way to grow.”
While Tuba admits she doesn’t consider herself strong at comedy roles, she laughs when she adds, “In real life, I’m actually very funny.”
Like many actors today, she also struggled with the pressures of social media. “I was scared of it. Scared of reactions. Then I decided to stop caring about what people say and started being real on Instagram. That helped me a lot.”
Her inspirations in acting include Sajal Ali and Saba Qamar, with Sajal being a source of admiration even before she entered showbiz.
The recent untimely deaths of fellow actresses Ayesha Khan and Humaira Asghar deeply shook her. “Why weren’t we connected as a fraternity? We need to check on each other. We have realized that we must be kinder and stop wasting time on gossiping. Everyone here is working hard.”
Tuba describes herself today as a light-hearted person, but she stresses the importance of compassion in the industry and beyond. “We are all busy, but we should still ask people, ‘Are you okay?’ Mental health matters a lot. And please, stop writing hate comments. Artists feel that too.”
From her corporate beginnings to her current standing as a television actress, Tuba Anwar’s journey reflects resilience, honesty, and a heartfelt reminder of kindness in an industry where appearances often overshadow emotions.
