Pakistani actress Arjumand Rahim, who became widely known for her strong performance as Taj Bibi in the popular drama Sher, is currently facing criticism on social media. Her powerful acting as a simple village woman earned her great praise, but now, a five-year-old video of hers has gone viral, bringing unexpected attention.
In the old clip, Arjumand Rahim can be seen wearing a fashionable sleeveless outfit, which is very different from her humble on-screen look in Sher. Many people on social media are sharing the video and making funny memes, comparing her real-life appearance with her drama character.
The viral video was from BOL Nights with Ahsan Khan, a talk show she appeared on back in November 2019, along with actress Savera Nadeem. During the show, she took part in fun segments like “Dumb Charades” and talked about her career and experiences in the entertainment industry.
Arjumand also spoke about her early days in acting and her passion for Kathak dance, which she learned in both Pakistan and India. She mentioned that she stopped dancing later because it was very tough, and she felt she had already fulfilled her dream in that art form.
When asked about romance in the industry, Arjumand laughed and said she had many good friendships but was “always disappointed” in romantic matter hinting she never found love with a co-star.
Despite the online jokes, many fans still appreciate her talent and defend her, saying that actors should not be judged for their personal choices outside their roles.
