Pakistani model and dancer Mathira recently appeared on a podcast where she opened up about her struggle and the hard time of her life wading through which she earned a name for herself in the entertainment industry, having started at a very young and naive age.

Having spent the earlier part of her life in Zimbabwe, looking back Mathira said she felt she was never given the space where people empathized with the fact that she was young and not really attuned with Pakistani culture and ways which were quite alien to her. “I was never given the margin. That she has come from abroad and is having difficulty in understanding the culture. Here people decided to categorize me, alienize me, and cut me out”, she said.

Narrating an experience that left a deep mark on her personality and played a major role in shaping her perspective about how people can be very insensitive and indifferent, Mathira said, “I remember doing a show where my top fell down. It was not my fault: making a girl wear a silk bra and a very loose georgette top, and so when I turned the top fell. 99% of people said she did it for clout, for fame. No one thought what I would go through. Though I felt extremely uncomfortable, I managed to pull my top up, go back up and maintain balance because I thought that’s how I’m supposed to be. But even in that, all people had to say was she wants fame, she wants this, she wants that.”

“After that incident I have put very high walls. I don’t go out much. I don’t like to socialize much anymore, where there will be so many more double-faced people”, she added.
