Sanam Saeed recently appeared on PTV, where she discussed representing Pakistan at the Cannes Film Festival, her acting journey, and navigating online criticism.
Reflecting on her Cannes debut, she shared that she attended the festival alongside designer Hussain Rehar with the aim of presenting Pakistan’s culture and traditional craftsmanship to an international audience. She also pointed out that many global luxury brands draw inspiration from regions like Pakistan without offering due recognition or credit.
She said their goal was to highlight Pakistani talent and show the world the contribution of South Asian women and artisans.
Sanam described Cannes as a demanding experience that required careful planning and strict schedules, from managing outfits to attending events and catching flights.
Addressing online trolling, she responded to comments about her appearance by saying she has a classic Pakistani face and does not take such criticism personally.
Reflecting on her career, Sanam spoke about her popular role as Kashaf in ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’, saying the character remains relatable because it reflects real social and economic differences in society.
