Aina Asif has quickly become one of Pakistan’s most talked-about young actresses, building a loyal fan base through a steady run of successful drama serials. Her performances have consistently drawn praise, with viewers commending her ability to handle emotionally demanding roles at a young age.
During a recent appearance on a private channel’s Ramadan transmission, Aina addressed a question that has frequently surfaced online — her age. Speaking to host Faisal Qureshi, she clarified that she is still 17 and that it will be about nine months before she becomes eligible for a national identity card.
She also reflected on the mixed reactions she receives regarding her on-screen roles. According to Aina, some people advise her to choose characters that match her age.
However, she noted that when she did previously portray age-appropriate roles, some viewers commented that she appeared older. She maintained that her body of work demonstrates she is capable of taking on challenging characters.
The discussion has also sparked conversation on social media. While some users speculate that she may be 21 or 22, others have raised concerns that if she is indeed under 18, her professional work could be classified as child labour, an issue they believe should be clarified.
