'Actresses have created WhatsApp group for emotional support after Humaira Asghar's death:' Tuba Anwar

Actress Tuba Anwar revealed in a recent interview that a group of female artists from the showbiz industry created a WhatsApp group aimed at supporting one another in dealing with mental stress, loneliness, and emotional challenges.

According to Tuba, this initiative was taken in the wake of the tragic death of actress Humaira Asghar Ali, who was reportedly suffering from severe isolation and a lack of social support.

She explained that many actresses working in the entertainment industry are based in cities where their families don’t live, making loneliness a major struggle.

Several of her own friends, the Baby Baji actress noted, have come to Karachi from other Lahore and Islamabad and are working far away from their families.

She further shared that members of the group now not only talk about personal issues but also open up about their experiences and emotions, in an effort to cope with the hidden pressures and isolation that often lie behind the glamour of showbiz.
