Naimal Khawar open to resuming acting once her son grows older

The former actor says she might return to the small screen if she could balance work and her personal life


Entertainment Desk July 23, 2022

Naimal Khawar Abbasi, a stellar artist and former actor, has recently announced a new website for her artwork where she will be displaying her old and new pieces. She took to Instagram and shared that she has now formally launched a website for her work. Naimal also interacted with the fans on Instagram live and responded to the queries of her followers. 

She was questioned whether she plans on returning to dramas. To this, Naimal answered, "I might if I get time if I am honest." She added, "But you know with Mustafa (Naimal's son) and my work, it seems quite unlikely. Maybe when he has grown older a bit, maybe next year. I don't know. We'll see. I'm not too sure. If I can manage both things then why not."

She added, "It's difficult with Mustafa but if I can handle the two together then you never know. The issue is I rarely get time so I can't promise a drama. Pray Mustafa gets older soon because right now, I can't leave the baby."

In 2019, the actor officially announced that she is bidding her acting career farewell to pursue her art. "I will not be pursuing it as a career because I feel that I cannot balance it with my art, which will always remain my first priority and passion," she had penned. "You will not be seeing me on the screen anymore but you will be seeing a lot more of my paintings and hopefully, exhibitions. I would like to thank all the wonderful people I met in this short endeavour. It’s been lovely. May you all follow your heart and passions."

The former actor took to Instagram last year and commented on the need for an artist's personal space while working on a piece and how her husband, Hamza, makes sure she has it. 

"I think it isn't emphasised enough, but as an artist, you need your space. For me, I need to sit in my zone and it's only then that I can be productive. If there are too many distractions around, I don't feel I can work," she said. “I think that’s one thing good about my husband he gives me my space I give him his space."

She had added, "He really helps me, he takes care of Mustafa at times and I get some time to sit and work. Try to create your little space sit there for an hour or half an hour and that really helps."
