you & me
Ramsha Khan stepped into the showbiz industry back in 2012. While she started her career with modelling for different brands, she found her true-calling in acting. “I tried modelling but I didn’t like it much, I started acting in 2016 and I loved it. I really, really enjoyed it,” she shares. The stunning model-turned-actress made her acting debut with Rafay Rashidi’s movie ‘Thora Jee Le’ and then there was no turning back for this gal. Since then, Ramsha has proved her mettle in drama serials like ‘Wo Aik Pal’, ‘Tumhari Maryam’, ‘Mah-e-Tamaam’, ‘Khudparast’, ‘Kitni Girhain Baqi Hain 2’ and ‘Ustani Jee. Currently, she is seen on-screen in’Kaisa hai Naseeban’ alongside Muneeb Butt, which is a drama that tackles the social issue of marital rape.
