KARACHI: Renowned actress, director, and social activist Amina Khan has ignited a fresh wave of discussion on social media after revealing that she passed the Central Superior Services (CSS) examination with just four days of preparation during her youth.
In a recent appearance on a private TV program, she shared that she had taken the CSS exam while simultaneously juggling multiple drama shoots. Despite her packed schedule, she managed to sit for eight papers and passed the highly competitive examination. However, she later chose not to pursue a government job.
Her claim quickly became a trending topic, with users expressing a mix of admiration, doubt, and sarcasm.
– Some users questioned the feasibility of passing the CSS exam—known for its rigorous syllabus and low pass rates—with such minimal preparation.
– One commenter joked, “Maybe she took the CSS exam in a play?”—a playful jab at her acting career.
– Others pointed out that the CSS exam typically consists of 12 papers, not eight, further fueling the debate.
Amina Khan, who transitioned from acting to directing advertisements before returning to dramas, has long been a prominent figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Her latest revelation adds another layer to her multifaceted career, though it has also invited scrutiny over the accuracy of her statement.
Meanwhile, as the discussion continues, Khan has yet to respond to the skepticism. Whether her claim stands as a testament to exceptional talent or becomes a cautionary tale about misinformation remains to be seen.
