Actor Alishba Yousuf shared insights about her ten-year hiatus from acting during a candid interview. Known for her role in Mere Humnawa, Alishba revealed that suggestions from her sister, Syra Yousuf, to return to acting weren’t enough until she felt personally ready. “Everything has its time,” she said, explaining how her decisions are guided by intuition rather than external pressures.
Alishba admitted leaving certain projects when they didn’t feel meaningful, acknowledging the challenges in finding a balance in her craft. Starting her career as a VJ at 16, Alishba later ventured into acting without formal training but thrived through encouragement from her crew.
Recalling her beginnings, she shared how an Iranian makeup artist scouted her for commercials despite her initial doubts and her father’s strict nature. Reflecting on her career, Alishba expressed gratitude for the opportunities that shaped her unique acting journey.
