Noman Habib Opens Up About Struggles with Fame

Noman Habib, best known for his breakout role in Main Hoon Shahid Afridi, has built a solid reputation in Pakistan’s entertainment industry through hard work and resilience.

He has connected with audiences across the country through numerous drama appearances. In a recent interview on Dunya News’ Mazaq Raat, Noman shared personal stories that shaped his journey.

He recalled going door to door with friends during his childhood, collecting money to decorate for Independence Day. Back then, many neighbors dismissed them or responded rudely. But after he rose to fame, those same people began treating him with respect — some even invited him over for tea. This, he said, showed how success can instantly change how people see you.

Noman also described how fame influenced his self-image. Early in his career, he often got blamed for others’ mistakes, especially by comedians or assistants who exploited his quiet, respectful nature. Over time, he learned to stand up for himself and demand the respect he deserved.

Addressing the issue of ego in the acting world, Noman admitted that growing recognition can inflate one’s self-importance. “It happens to all of us,” he said. “Even I started feeling overly important at one point.” He credited his close friends and family for keeping him grounded by offering honest feedback when they noticed changes in his behavior.
