Karachi:
You do not need to have a particularly vivid imagination to imagine the pressures facing a teenage actor in a world of social networks without filtering a ruthless comments section. However, if you lack the imagination without vivid required to realize on your own, the 16 -year -old actor Aina Asif is here to confirm that the throbbing pressure is really real, although backed by support, passion and an ounce of common sense, it is completely surviving.
Take efforts to illustrate the unique experience of a teenager of generation Z blooming in the public eye, young people Parwarish The star could not be stressed enough in a BBC Urdu Interview that spectators still fight to understand their real age. “It doesn’t matter how I look, no matter how it acts, people know I am 16 years old!” She started. “Everyone knows this and yet they say: ‘But you don’t think it’s a child!’ But whatever, I still have the mind of a 16 -year -old!
Becoming Maya
The career as Aina actor began at the tender age of 14 when she played a teenage mother in Mayi Rialthough his current claim of fame is to touch the head of the Mayan forests in Parwarish. Fans will remember that Maya convinced her mother (deeply worried) that her boyfriend of choice, Wali, is in her ‘fighting phase’ and will soon shoot in wealth after it embarks on her imminent career in music.
“Maya is close to his mother and has the space to vent and share his feelings, something he can’t do with his father,” Aina said.
Anything else that the script goes to Maya (“Maya is forced to kill, and I can’t even imagine in a situation like that!”) Sharing a bond with a father is nothing new for the girl who gives her life. As someone who has grown up in a loving and solidarity family. Environment, the closeness he shares with his mother is one that, for Aina, felt at home.
“It seemed so identifiable to play Maya, because I can also tell my mother anything,” Aina explained. “I feel that Maya has a canvas in which she can express her emotions, which is very necessary for a growing child.”
Identifiable roles
Not all their roles, of course, have been so easy to relate to the young emerging actor. If Aina was difficult Mayi Ri He was one who found even more extraterrestrial.
“When I was filming Mayi RiI was still learning. I was 15 years old, no, 14! “He remembered Aina. – She cried every time. Then I turned to the camera, because I was so nervous! I was like ‘I am also a child, how are I supposed to handle this?’ “
So overwhelmed he would seek comfort by director Meesam Naqvi (who has also directed Parwarish) And beg: “Should I give my phone for two minutes?” Two years later, Aina has not forgotten the next words of its director.
“He would say: ‘No, Aina, if you’re so frustrated, remember that you’ll go home at 10 pm
The understanding that other girls support in real life what I was struggling to portray on the screen proved to be a humiliating lesson for AINA.
“It really hit me that I, Aina, with the family from which I come, is very different from the characters I play,” said the star. “I mean, I can’t even imagine that my mother or father came and told me, and this age, especially, that they have found a rishta for me. Then, understanding that pain, that pain, was a bit difficult for me, but once it hit me, it hit me strongly.”
The impact of Aini’s story, and what it represents is not lost in Aina. “Even today, when I think of Aini, I have my eyes,” he confessed. “Because what happened to him was so unfair.”
Find fame at 14
In addition to having the opportunity to take a look at how the other half lives, so to speak, Aina is very aware of the cost of having a very public career at her age. If I had your own opinion, it would reduce work hours for the actors, but for now, it has established their own limits (“I do not wear revealing clothing and I do not like intimate scenes”). In spite of everything, the pressure of finding fame at age 14 still feels acutely.
“You need to enforce a specific track or mentality about yourself,” he insisted. “I need to make sure that some things do not affect me. As for criticism, there are some parts that I need to understand, but these are the people who will help you get where you need to go. You need to know who you should hear who you can ignore.”
Social networks, of course, are a different ball game. Once again, Aina has been forced to learn to block hurtful comments, mainly about her appearance, and has trained to look firmly to the other side.
“I used to affect me a lot, to the point that if I read something negative about me, I would ruin all my night,” he admitted. “I would start crying. Now, I’m still affected, I’m not totally immune, but I try not to think so much about them.”
Aina, however, has some words chosen for those who insist on commenting on their appearance or comparing their cruelly with cartoon characters online, something that ensures that spectators have happened.
“I don’t think anyone commented on how someone looks. If you don’t like someone, don’t look at them!” She said. “I remember once I saw this publication where someone was comparing me with a cartoon character […] I didn’t realize until later they said it as an insult!
Then, the actor did what he should have avoided: he immersed himself in the comments section. “Everyone was making fun of me! It affected me, but then I felt sad that people don’t see the trade. My career is about acting. They do not consider that I am a child. These things obviously hurt!”
Aina’s revealing incursion into the world of social networks has led to the determination that there are parts of itself that will never reveal fans and followers. “There are certain parts of my life that are only mine that no one has been able to comment,” he insisted. “If people begin to criticize that too, I would lose me.”
