Gracing the guest’s couch at a talk show with host Tabish Hashmi, Reema Khan talked about her entry into showbiz and how her consistent efforts always yielded a reward. “If the beginning is difficult, then believe me, the result will be worth it,” Reema articulated the time-tested adage. The Bulandi actress went on to recall her first audition and how her success surprised her. “So, I auditioned in the presence of many actors who are today's superstars. When I was auditioning with them, I had no faith that I would be selected,” Reema remarked.

On the subject of her film preferences, Reema continued to explain why she never entered Bollywood. “I received offers from Bollywood. I think that they already have a lot of talent there. From what I have observed, it’s wiser to stay in your home turf. There is no point in going to a palace where you have to feel ashamed,” the actress replied cryptically, alluding to other Pakistani stars who made their Bollywood debuts.

Elaborating further on the troubles that Pakistani actors face over the border, Reema offered, “There are cliques everywhere including Bollywood and they don’t want other artists, especially from Pakistan, to carve their name.” The celeb emphasised how there are a lot of people who welcome cultural exchange with open arms but the cliques prove more influential.
