KARACHI: Pakistani superstar Humayun Saeed has revealed that his wife was initially not supportive of his decision to pursue a career in acting.

In a recent interview, the actor shared insights into his early showbiz journey, saying that his wife, Samina Humayun Saeed, was unhappy with his choice of profession and often discouraged him from continuing in the field. Instead, she would suggest that he take up business or explore other career options.

However, he added that her perspective gradually changed after meeting respected figures from the industry, including Marina Khan and other professionals.

Over time, she realized that the industry was not as it appeared from the outside and that many respectable and professional individuals were part of it.
