About Faryal Mehmood

Faryal Mehmood was a Pakistani actor and model.

Personal life In late 2019, Mehmood shared in an interview with Samina Peerzada that she was a victim of sexual harassment and that her stepfather had molested her when she was a child.

On 28 May 2020, Mehmood married Daniyal Raheal, son of veteran actor Simi Raheal. Rumours surrounding their alleged separation began to spread later that year; on 13 December 2020, Mehmood publicly rejected these claims, commenting that she would "like you guys to leave my marriage up to me and @daniyalraheal and focus on issues that are important in your own lives." Later in 2021, she confirmed her divorce stating that she is single again.

Career

She appeared in 2017's series Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai as an antagonist. Shafiq ul Hassan of The Express Tribune found that she "manages to act quite well in a few scenes where she displays her anger and outrage".

For her portrayal of a straightforward and realist daughter in Kashif Nisar's directed and Bee Gul's written Raqeeb Se, she received a nomination of Hum Award for Best Supporting Actress.

After a two-year hiatus, she returned to acting in 2023 with a supporting role in Zaheer Uddin's Chikkar. She then played the titular role in Iram Parveen Bilal's Wakhri. Sara Danial of the Dawn Images found her portrayal as "nothing short of brilliance" and she "seamlessly encapsulating the nuances of her character, resonating with authenticity and depth". The film, released in January 2024, was inspired by the life of late social media sensation Qandeel Baloch.
