Naima Butt, best known for playing a villainous role in the hit drama Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum, is catching flak online after a recent TV interview. Despite her growing popularity in roles alongside big names like Fahad Mustafa and Hania Amir, her comments about her career path have struck viewers’ nerves.
Naima’s Journey from Medicine to Showbiz
During the interview, Naima opened up about how her mother, a doctor, had hoped she would pursue a medical career, too. She shared that although she completed pre-medical studies, she never felt drawn to it. Naima recalled skipping the medical entry test entirely, saying that on the test day, she just stayed home, realizing it wasn’t her calling. Instead, she pursued mass communication, which eventually led her to acting.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
The interview clip went viral, sparking a wave of online criticism. Some social media users questioned her decision, calling it a lack of dedication. Others wondered if her story was entirely accurate, suggesting that if her mother truly wanted her to be a doctor, she would have encouraged her more strongly.

Building Her Career in Television
While Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum may have been Naima’s breakthrough, she previously acted in popular dramas like Ahd-e-Wafa, Daasi, and Main Khwab Banti Hoon. But her role in Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum resonated with viewers, particularly in Pakistan and neighbouring countries.
The show wrapped up with a finale screened in cinemas, in which Mustafa and Sharjeena’s characters’ lives and marriages were celebrated in a positive light, leaving fans with a lasting impression.
