Actress and model Areeba Habib, known for her candid and jolly demeanor, recently offered a blunt critique of award shows during her appearance on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast. She spoke openly about her journey in showbiz and provided a revealing glimpse into how things work behind the scenes, particularly regarding the value and perception of industry accolades.
When asked by host Ahmed Ali Butt if she desired an award and her general opinion on award ceremonies, Habib revealed that her perspective had shifted over time. She admitted to caring about awards during her modeling career but stated that she has since stopped giving them much thought since transitioning into acting.
Delivering her opinion with a mix of humor and stark realism, Habib made a cheeky remark, saying, “What is about awards? I can buy one when I have some extra money.” She laughed as she added that she could simply purchase an award “from outside,” highlighting a cynical view of their authenticity and worth.
Beyond the joke, Habib grounded her comments in a serious observation about the industry. She pointed out that many artists who accumulated numerous awards later died in financial misery. Drawing from this, she concluded that true success and recognition are not found in trophies but in economic stability. She firmly stated that she considers her bank account and financial security to be her real award, prioritizing practical well-being over industry validation.
