Areeka Haq, a popular Pakistani digital creator with over 12 million TikTok followers and 4.2 million on Instagram, is known for her stylish content and has appeared in music videos with top artists like Asim Azhar, Shamoon Ismail, and Young Stunners. In a recent appearance on the Nukta Life podcast, she opened up about her struggle with depression and revealed how a well-known actor reached out to help her through it.
Areeka shared that while her family stood by her, it was Saba Qamar who made a meaningful impact. “She took my number from Asim Azhar and called me, saying, ‘I want to talk to Areeka.’ She gave me advice, calmed me down, and honestly, I didn’t even feel the need for therapy after that,” Areeka said.
She revealed the cause of her depression was the backlash she received after being cast in a music video with Asim Azhar and “I wasn’t even 18 and people started bullying me, questioning why I was chosen. It really took a toll on me,” she explained..
