Career

Romaisa Khan started working in television commercials at a very young age. Later in her teenage years, she started posting private videos on Dubsmash and Musical.ly, and then moved to TikTok and Instagram.[4] To earn savings for professional content creation, she taught at a school when she was in the 12th grade.[5] Later, she changed her account settings to public, and her videos went viral on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan.[4] Publications regarded her as one of the top 10 famous Pakistani TikTokers due to posting comical content,[2][6] and she won the Pakistan International Screen Award for the Most Entertaining Instagram Celebrity in 2021.[4] She gained further recognition by appearing in vlogs with a fellow YouTuber, Saad ur Rehman.[7][8]

In 2020, she began her acting career from the drama serial Masters.[9] She also appeared in Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's music video "Rab Jaane".[10] In 2023, her film John was released, in which she portrayed the character role of a school maid. She called it as natural character appearance which did not require any glamour.[11] Despite being a debut, her role received critical acclaim leading her to win the Lux Style Award for Best Actress.[12][13] After the film, she went on to star in multiple television series, including Hadsa,[14] Chand Tara,[11] Tubelite,[15] Dear Bestie, and Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi.[16]

Personal life

Khan has criticised the proposals for banning TikTok in Pakistan, and called for stricter moderation of the app's content instead.[4][17] She has also spoken up against late payment issues and a body shaming culture in the media industry for one's weight and skin color, due to which she had faced bully during her early career.[18][19]
