Every person desires to enter the glamour and glitter of showbiz. For this, along with talent, a lot of hard work and consistency are required. Whoever succeeds cannot live without the lifestyle and the glitz and glamour of showbiz. Having fans hover around you, a crowd of people gathered just to catch a glimpse of you, and people longing for you is a very desirable and dream-like scenario.
However, today we will talk about those actresses who left the glamour of showbiz not only for their family and love life, but also never looked back at this glamorous world. Sometimes life demands the kind of sacrifice that is dearest to you. You might have to leave a position even at its peak, which you achieved after years of hard work and struggle.
First of all, included in our list of actresses is:
1. Ayesha Khan
Ayesha Khan is a very beautiful actress who started her career through modeling and commercials. She got her first breakthrough from her time's blockbuster drama Mehndi (2003). After that, Ayesha started appearing in bigger projects day by day. Following PTV, she became the first choice for private productions as well.
Ayesha played the lead role opposite Faisal Qureshi and Faisal Rehman in the 2007 megastar drama Manay Na Yeh Dil, directed by Babar Javed. She delivered a very powerful performance, and the project also featured artists from across the border. Then in 2009, she again played the lead role alongside Faisal Qureshi under Babar Javed's direction in Man-o-Salwa, a beautifully written play by Umera Ahmed. Following these excellent performances, Ayesha joined the ranks of "A-list" stars and reached the prime of her career.
The drama Wasal in 2010 was the project that formally gave Ayesha Khan the status of a superstar. The cast of this drama featured all mega-stars. Her further hit projects include:
- Bari Aapa — 2012
- Shukk — 2013
- Mehram — 2014
- Vasl-e-Yaar — 2015
- Mann Mayal — 2015
- Khuda Mera Bhi Hai — 2016
- Noor-e-Zindagi — 2016
Along with television, Ayesha Khan was also successful in films. She played the lead role alongside Shaan Shahid in Waar (2013) and also starred in both parts of Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. Both parts were successful, and the audience highly praised Ayesha's girlish and glamorous look.
Then, at the peak of her career in April 2018, she married Major Uqbah Malik and settled down. She never returned to the industry since then and remains busy taking care of her family and children.
2. Sanam Chaudhry
Sanam Chaudhry is an actress who started her career at a very young age. She reached the pinnacle of her career during her youth. She was such a powerful performer and loud actress that the actor working opposite her had to put in a lot of hard work.
She started her successful career with the drama Ishq Hamari Galiyon Mein. She got her first breakthrough in 2014 by playing the negative role of 'Natasha' in Aasmanon Pay Likha. It became a huge hit, and in 2018, she played an extremely versatile role in Ghar Titli Ka Par. After that drama, she regularly appeared on prime-time television screens.
At the peak of her career, her powerful role as 'Maryam' in Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai (2018) made her everyone's favorite. Fans insisted on getting justice for Maryam in the drama and started voting and praying for her. She then played a very marine, positive, and soft role in Meer Abro (2019). Following the success of Meer Abro, viewers began demanding a Part 2. Audiences should also watch her telefilms, such as Kitni Girhain Baqi Hain. She also appeared in the film Jackpot, where she looked very beautiful.
At the peak of her career in 2019, she married singer/rapper Somee Chauhan and moved abroad. She distanced herself from showbiz in her late 20s while at the height of her career.
3. Mehreen Raheel
Mehreen Raheel is a stylish model and actress who started with modeling and has appeared in commercials for all top brands. She is the daughter of Simi Raheel, a very big name in the drama industry. She was highly selective about her acting career but chose the best content and stories.
She gained instant fame and became an overnight superstar through Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan (2009) and Dastan (2010). However, behind this was her long struggle and hard work, which she started in 2001. People still remember Mehreen today with reference to Dastan (2010) because of how decently and maturely she portrayed her character. After that, Mastan Mahi (2011) with Fahad Mustafa proved to be a hit serial. In 2012, she played the modern character of 'Asmara' in Zindagi Gulzar Hai, whose style was copied and followed by many young university girls.
She also played the lead role of 'Mahi' in the successful Indo-Pak film Virsa. She appeared in a stylish and substantial character on the big screen. Instead of relying solely on her beauty, she always won the hearts of the audience through her powerful acting. In 2009, she tied the knot with Atif Azher Malik.
Although she got married, she left showbiz at the peak of her career in 2018 to focus on raising and caring for her children. However, glimpses of Mehreen can still be seen in commercials today.
4. Sanam Baloch
Sanam Baloch has a very innocent face and a soft-spoken style that can melt the heart of anyone watching. She started gaining fame with Noorpur Ki Rani. If we call 2010 the best year at the peak of her career, it wouldn't be wrong. This year, she played the main lead roles in 3 hit dramas: Dastan, Daam, and Chemistry. She portrayed these characters so beautifully that these dramas are still at the top of viewers' favorite lists today.
As a writer, Daam is my most favorite drama. Sanam performed it with the same beauty that Umera Ahmed wrote it with. Sanam is such a versatile performer that it took me weeks to get out of the emotional impact of Daam. Then in 2012, she formally joined the A-list characters through Durr-e-Shehwar. The character of Durr-e-Shehwar was portrayed in such a way that every newly married girl started relating herself to it. Social media had formally begun by that time, and every girl commented, "I don't know why, but I feel like this is my story."
In 2013, she showed amazing chemistry alongside Fahad Mustafa in Kankar. She played a character full of self-respect and delivered a great lesson through the drama: that a woman has her own self-respect and will, which no one can suppress even after marriage.
Earlier, her marriage within the media industry could not succeed. Then in 2020, she married Shahzad Jatoi. Today, far away from the showbiz limelight, she is living a happy and contented life with him and her daughter.
5. Sara Chaudhry
Sara Chaudhry was a very big name of her time at the beginning of the 21st century. She started her career with modeling and was everyone's top priority for many dramas and commercials during that decade.
She started her acting career with PTV and played lead roles in many hit serials like Tarangiyan, Tere Janey Ke Baad, Dil Diya Dehleez, Tere Pehloo Mein, Teri Ik Nazar, Woh Rishtey Woh Naatey, and Uran. As long as Sara worked, she remained the first choice for directors. If she refused a project due to some preoccupation or other reasons, it would go to another actress.
She gained immense fame from the PTV drama Malangi. Sara's performance in Khud Zamin Se Gaya Nahin was truly worth watching. She gathered a lot of fame and awards in a very short period. In October 2010, she married Faisal Khan, a businessman residing in Dubai, and withdrew from showbiz.
Due to her inclination toward religion and love for Islam, Sara Chaudhry changed completely and decided never to return to this industry. Our best wishes are with Sara. May Allah grant her success and steadfastness in the purpose for which she sacrificed the limelight and stayed away. Amen. - Admin.
6. Aiman Muneeb
If achieving peak success at a very young age has a name, it is undoubtedly Aiman. She started her career as a child star and began playing lead roles as a teenager. If anyone could do such versatile and mature acting at this age, it is Aiman. During the boom of private productions, many new faces and talents got opportunities, and Aiman Khan took full advantage of this.
She performed so exceptionally well in the drama serials Khali Haath and Ghar Titli Ka Par that even seniors could not resist praising her. The position that people usually achieve in 2 to 3 decades was achieved by Aiman in her youth. Even now, she is the most followed actress on social media platforms. Her work in the dramas Ishq Tamasha and Bedardi was highly appreciated, and she gave award-winning performances in them.
Then in 2019, she married famous actor Muneeb Butt. Later, her first daughter Amal was born in 2019, and her second daughter Miral was born in 2023. To take care of her personal life and daughters, she took a break from showbiz in her early 20s and now she is only seen in commercials or media gatherings.
7. Ainy Jaffri
Ainy grew up and studied abroad. She started her career in an advertising company. However, after 2010, her family moved to Pakistan, and she started working on television here.
In 2011, she made her debut with a teenage drama called Dreamers. Many young talents made their acting career debut alongside Ainy Jaffri in this drama, including Shahzad Sheikh and Furqan Qureshi. This teenage drama became a huge hit, and these young talents formally became a part of showbiz. Ainy's famous projects include Aseerzadi (2013), Zip Bus Chup Raho (2012), and Meri Behan Maya, which also featured Osman and Maya.
Ainy also worked in a few films, which include Main Hoon Shahid Afridi and Balu Mahi alongside Osman Khalid Butt. Because of her cute and soft accent, Ainy was highly liked by the audience, and she has her own unique style.
Ainy Jaffri tied the knot with Faris Rehman in 2014. She continued to work even after marriage, but after 2023, she took a break from showbiz to prioritize her family.
