Well-known Pakistani artist Ayesha Omar, whose movie ‘Javed Iqbal’ will hit theatre today, has revealed how her childhood trauma built a change in her to be a better person.
During an interview, Ayesha Omar talked about facing harassment at a very young age. “When I started working I faced a lot of difficulties, I was sexually abused at a very young age. I didn’t use to get my payments on time because I had no one at my back to support me,” she claimed.
Omar shared how many of her friends betrayed her when she needed them the most. Ayesha Omar also talked about her traumatic childhood and mentioned that she has been facing traumas since childhood. “My father died when I was not even two years old.

“We were financially unstable, no one was there to support us,” Omar shared. According to the Bulbulay actress, she completed her education on a merit scholarship. “I used to think that why me when everyone else was living a perfect childhood, why can’t I have those fancy clothes, car and stuff like that. This was also very traumatic for me as a child,” Omar asserted.
“This trauma built a change in me to be a better person,” she said by adding that maybe it was a form of acceptance and approval that she wanted to be accepted the way she is.
According to her, such things are very traumatic. However, for Ayesha, she believes that you learn from everything.
