In a powerful and emotional revelation, iconic Pakistani actor Firdous Jamal has opened up about the psychological toll of fame and the emptiness that can accompany a life spent in the public eye.

Speaking in a heartfelt interview, the seasoned performer noted how constant interaction can sometimes erode the authenticity of human relationships. “When you meet someone daily, they stop valuing your presence,” he said. “True affection survives on longing, not repetition.”

He stressed that emotional connection is not guaranteed by proximity. “Just because people surround you doesn’t mean they recognize your worth. Some may physically be close, but spiritually, they’re absent,” he explained.

Jamal’s reflection touched on deeper fears—particularly the thought of dying alone. Drawing from recent tragic events, he spoke of Ayesha Khan and Humaira Asghar, two actresses whose deaths went unnoticed for days. “Their stories haunt me,” he said. “What if the same fate awaits me?”

He mourned the industry’s transactional nature, where people are often appreciated only when they serve a function. “We’re valued not for who we are, but for what we offer. Once our utility fades, so does our importance.”

Jamal’s words resonate beyond celebrity circles, shedding light on a universal truth: even those admired by millions can feel unseen.
