Saheefa Jabbar Khattak addresses concerns about her 'drug problem'

The model-turned-actor took to Instagram to slam critics for twisting her words earlier

Model-turned-actor Saheefa Jabbar Khattak recently lashed out at critics for spinning her words and judging her on clever snippets of her interviews.

The strong-willed beauty took to her Instagram this week to share a lengthy explanation of her alleged ‘drug problem’ and why she was forced into that lifestyle. “I was on drugs due to depression and pain which I couldn’t tolerate at that moment,” she revealed.

Khattak then defend her earlier stance saying, “Anyone of my (that) age would be inclined to, and I am not ashamed of myself because I have a story to tell. I came out of it stronger – it’s not like none of you were ever indulged into this.”

She also explained the circumstances surrounding the issues that she was faced with. “I took a semester off from university so I could get a grip over my life. I was under the process of self-healing and in that process, I worked as a model. In my initial two months, I was on the cover of a magazine and also in the fashion week, so I didn’t feel the need of going back to university and at that moment, when my career had just started I had to put my studies on hold…” she shared.

The starlet, who rose to prominence when she appeared in a Khaadi campaign with an unconventional pixie-cut and made headlines, also uplifted those who had gone through the same as her and come out stronger. “I am proud of each and every one of you who came out of it stronger and a better version of yourselves. And those who couldn’t, you will eventually, Insha’Allah. Stay strong and keep trying,” she said. “Your battle is a little harder than us all but you’ll survive, don’t worry. Prayers your way.”

Right before signing off, Khattak slammed the people who twisted her words from earlier interviews. “I wanted to say this for a while – please don’t watch snippets of old clips and try to make news out of them. Try and get to know the real deal.”

She continued, “I am way past that time when I want to answer each one of you. Just know that you guys are pathetic people for spreading untrue content just for the sake of likes and reach,” ending her tirade against social media hawks.
