Lahore: Lately, the Pakistani showbiz industry’s beautiful actress Hareem Farooq shared something really interesting about her childhood stars on the show. While speaking frankly, she was inclined towards royalty and admitted that she had almost always dreamt of being a princess as a child. For her, that was somehow a norm ancestral to that of glamorous Lady Diana, for she was a Lady Diana wannabe in her childhood fantasy.
Were Princesses those cute fuzzy kids from the cereal commercial?
On a private TV morning show hosted last week, she got the chance to bring such fantasies to the fore. Suhira Nadeem and the rest of the cast of the well-liked serial “Bismil” were also guests on the set, and it quickly turned into a place where Farooq talked about the background of her career ambitions growing up. Farooq let the cat out of the bag and said it was not only in an escapist sense that she envisioned herself in a glittery gown and a tiara she had craved as a little girl.
As a child, she would frequently ask her parents if there were any royal ancestors in the family tree as she briefly explained the story. Her fertile mind made her think that she belonged to a great royal family, one where Lady Diana, the adored Princess of Wales, lived while she was fantasizing. This adventure, she remarked, was quite a big thrill and enthusiasm for her, which made the lives of many a fairy tale any day.
Parental Disapproval and Reality Check
Hareem Farooq parents, on the other hand, appeared less enthusiastic about the royal aspirations the child nursed despite her strong wish to be one. Such fantasies were often curbed, and the young Farooq was often told to get a life and stop daydreaming. Therefore, according to Farooq, her parents would shush her whenever she raised the matter. Instead of trying to re-direct her to more pragmatic aspirations.
It was also not only from the practical angle that they were prejudiced against her wishes. The effect of this on her was not only to give her unqualified support. This approach is taken by the parents. Which was mostly for their children’s well-being and did very little to kill her dreams. But it made her reconsider her goals.
Transitioning from Royalty to Social Service
With age, Hareem Farooq obsession with the royal status was replaced by another desire. She started to think of copying a social activist such as Mother Teresa. She is famous for her compassion for people experiencing poverty and altruism. This new goal was motivated by a wish to do something important for the world, just like Mother Teresa did.
However, Farooq soon thought it over again and discovered that such. An aspiration to help achieve that aim came with a cost. She realized that it would never allow any enjoyment of the self and expose one to many dangers. She admitted that, besides the fact that this was achievable. The requirements of such a position were great and scary in terms of commitment.
Embracing Practical Aspirations
In the end, Hareem Farooq resolved that the ambition of being. A social leader was unrealistic and decided to let go of that aspiration. Such feelings shaped the transition from a hostile monarch to a positive head of state.
In Farooq’s commentary, it is additionally feasible to trace. The trajectories of dreams and prison architecture under the direction of one’s parents. This narrative further explains the concept of considering reality while improvising on the plans to be made.
