Pakistani actor Sabeena Farooq has denied undergoing lip filler treatment after speculation about her appearance circulated on social media. The actor said her fear of needles and injections had kept her from getting the cosmetic procedure, while stressing that people should not be judged for their personal choices.
Addressing the rumours through her Instagram Story, Sabeena said she had received numerous messages from people suggesting that she had undergone lip fillers. She dismissed the claims and explained that her fear of injections was the main reason she had not considered the treatment seriously.
“I’ve been getting a lot of messages from people saying I got lip fillers, which first isn’t a bad thing, but I didn’t because I’m scared of needles and injections,” she said.
The actor added that she might have considered the procedure if she did not have this fear. She also questioned the tendency to scrutinise other people’s decisions about their appearance, emphasising that cosmetic enhancements should not automatically become a reason for criticism.
Sabeena’s response addressed both the speculation surrounding her looks and the wider issue of appearance-based judgement. While making it clear that she had not undergone the treatment, she expressed an accepting attitude towards people who choose cosmetic procedures.
Public figures often face online speculation about changes in their appearance, with social media users frequently drawing conclusions about possible cosmetic treatments. Such discussions can place celebrities under pressure to explain personal decisions that would otherwise remain private.
Sabeena has previously spoken about the challenges of being a public figure and the negative attention that can follow an acting role. She rose to widespread recognition for playing Haya in the popular drama Tere Bin. Although her character attracted criticism, the actor also faced online harassment and threats from some viewers.
She subsequently urged audiences to distinguish between performers and the characters they portray, highlighting the impact of directing fictional characters’ controversies towards real people.
The actor further strengthened her position in the television industry through her performances in Kabuli Pulao and Mann Jogi. Her portrayal of Barbeena in Kabuli Pulao received particular appreciation and earned her the Lux Style Award 2025 for Best TV Actress in the Critics’ Choice category.
A Media Studies graduate, Sabeena began her acting career in 2016 and has since built a reputation for taking on diverse roles. In August 2026, she was also named among the recipients of the CLC Global 100 Women Leaders Award 2026.
Her latest remarks have once again drawn attention to the scrutiny celebrities face over their appearance. By addressing the rumours directly while defending the right to make personal choices, Sabeena has called for a more respectful approach to conversations about beauty and cosmetic treatments.
