Karachi:
You do not need to have a particularly lively imagination to imagine the pressures confronted with a teenager actor in a world of non -filtered social networks. If, however, you even lack the strange imagination necessary to come to this achievement by yourself, the 16 -year -old actor, Aina Asif, is there to confirm that the throbbing pressure is indeed real – although supported by support, passion and an ounce of common sense, it is entirely survivable.
Take pain to illustrate the unique experience of a zero generation adolescent in the eyes of the public, young people Parmenic The star could not insist enough in a BBC Ourdou Interview that viewers always find it difficult to grasp its real age. “No matter how I get dressed, no matter how I act, people know that I am 16 years old!” She started. “Everyone knows it, and yet they say:” But you don’t look like a child! “But whatever I look like, I always have the minds of a 16 year old child!”
Become Mayan
Aina’s acting career started at the age of 14 when she played a teenage mother Mayi RiAlthough his current pretension to glory plays the lead in Maya Parmenic. Fans will remember Maya who convinced his mother (deeply worried) that her beautiful choice, Wali, in his “ phase in difficulty ” and will soon roll in wealth after having launched his imminent career in music.
“Maya is close to her mother and has space to evacuate and share her feelings – something she cannot do with her father,” noted Aina.
Whatever the script other than the script puts Maya (“Maya is forced to get married, and I cannot even imagine myself in a situation like that!”) Sharing a link with a parent is nothing new for the girl who gives it to life. As a person who grew up in a loving and united family. The environment, the proximity that Maya shares with her mother is the one who, with Aina, felt at home.
“I found that I am so relatable to play Maya, because I can also tell my mother,” said Aina. “I have the impression that Maya has a canvas on which she can express her emotions, which is very necessary for a growing child.”
Relatable roles
Of course, all of his roles were not so easy to understand for the young actor emerging. If Aina had trouble being her stomach playing a young girl forced to get married, living in the skin of a teenager, Aini, in Mayi Ri was the one she found even more extraterrestrial.
“When I turned Mayi RiI still learned. I was 15 years old – No, 14! “Recalled Aina. – She was crying every time. Then, I turned to the camera, because I was so agitated! I was like” I am a child too, how am I supposed to manage this? “”
Aina if exceeded that she would seek comfort to director Meesam Naqvi (who also directed Parmenic) And plead: “Should I give him my phone for two minutes?” Two years later, Aina has not forgotten the next words of its director.
“He would say:” No, Aina, if you are so frustrated, remember that you will go home at 10 p.m. You won’t have to put it in bed or anything. But a real mother your age (because Iini was my age), she will feel the same things. I want you to feel things, because I want these things to go out. “”
The awareness that other girls persist in real life what she had difficulty representing on the screen turned out to be a humiliating lesson for Aina.
“It really struck me that I, Aina, with the family where I come from, it’s very different from the characters I play,” said the star. “I mean, I can’t even imagine that my mother or my father would come to tell me – and this age, especially – that they found a Rishta for me. So understand this wound, this pain, was a little difficult for me, but once she struck me, it struck me hard.”
The impact of Aini’s story, and what it represents, is not lost on Aina. “Even today, when I think of Aini, my eyes are tearful,” she confessed. “Because what happened to him was so unfair.”
Find the glory at 14
In addition to having the opportunity to take a look at the way in which the other half lives, so to speak, Aina is well aware of the cost of having a very public career at her age. If she had her own word to say, she would reduce the hours of work for the actors, but for the moment, she has set her own limits (“I do not wear revealing clothes and I do not like intimate scenes”). Through all this, she always feels acutely the pressure of finding glory at 14.
“You must apply a specific track or state of mind on yourself,” she insisted. “I have to make sure that I am not affected by certain things. As for criticisms, – there are certain parts that I need to understand, but it is the people who will help you arrive where you have to go. You should know who you need to listen to and who you can ignore. “
Social media, of course, are a different ball game. Again, Aina was forced to learn how to block hurtful comments – mainly on her appearance – and has formed to look firmly in the other direction.
“It made me affect it so much-to the point where if I read something negative about me, it would ruin my whole night,” she admitted. “I would start to cry. Now – I’m still assigned, I’m not completely safe, but I try not to think about it so much. ”
Aina, however, has a few words of choice for those who insist in order to comment on her appearance or compare her to the characters of cartoons online – something she ensures that viewers have happened.
“I don’t think anyone should comment on someone’s appearance. If you don’t like someone, don’t look at them! ” She said. “I remember once when I saw this post where someone compared me to a cartoon character […] I did not realize until later that they meant it as an insult! »»
The actor then did the very thing as she should have avoided: she plunged into the comments section. “Everyone was laughing at me!” It affected me – but I felt sad that people don’t see the job. My career is to act. They do not consider that I am a child. These things obviously hurt! ”
Aina’s revealing foray into the world of social media has led to determining that there are parts of herself that she will never reveal fans and followers. “There are certain parts of my life which are to me that no one could comment,” she insisted. “If people also start to criticize this, I would get lost.”
