Throughly enjoyed the interview and the fact that Freiha was unapologetically herself. So refreshing to see a person expressing her opinions and life choices honestly and freely!!

[@darakhshannaz4357]

Shes always been like that.

[@sobiahrashid7383]

As a single mom raising her kids and striving through she is inspirational to many. Love her house and art.

[@samansiddiquie1902]

Happy 60th next year Freiha. What an inspiration. A hustler. A boss fairy. An engine fired by goddess energy. For a long time she was the only engine running Pakistan’s fashion industry.

[@nataliakhan3324]

Frieha completely rocked … it was so nice of her to try and speak in Urdu in a bid to be inclusive to everyone. She truly has worked hard , has looked after her responsibilities but also loved her life … an inspiration to thrive as a woman. Be self sufficient if life doesn’t work out for whatever reason . Self made woman .

[@sminalb8817]

I love her outfit, she is an inspiration for women in Pakistan. Few suggestions for you Amana 1) don’t discuss important topics while standing. Finish all the heavy topics first and then make a tour with casual talk 2) Didn’t like the rude comments about her decor choices 3) Dont rush things like lets see closet and all Thanks for reading. Love your Chanel ❤️

[@atiyaharem5298]

To add to the above comment, 1. I.love your interview style, you come back to. the important questions, but this seemed like you were pushing her to show the closet. 2. The art pieces aren't my personal favourite too, but you mentioned it way too many times.(As an interviewer, it was a bit more than required as it may not be disturbing for the owner, as a friend off-camera,. a 100 times depending on your relationship) 3. Loved your outfit. Take care.

[@sarawasim495]

This was a treat! Thankyou Amna, and Thankyou Fareeha for being so candid ! I hope ppl especially women learn and are inspired by youre experiences . Kudos to you for being a rock star in my book 💕

[@sarahkhan3711]

I love the way Freiha is ageing , so natural and fun loving. Very inspiring indeed. Thanks Amna for this episode. So many positive messages and such quirky and eclectic taste. Absolutely loved it.

[@sidraaleem6010]

Amna i just cannot thank you enough. I just turned 30 and was not feeling good about it, but watching this gave me so muxh comfort. Kudos to both you and farieha

[@minahilkhawaja95]

12 mins in and my God!! What a persona!! I want to meet her, I want to know more about her and she’s just so inspirational. I’ll probably be watching it a lot of times to set my motivation straight!! Thanks Amna♥️

[@girlwithkoka2603]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this interview and what an inspiration. I was a single mother and I can relate and yes my life started after divorce. I have met a beautiful man and been married to him for past 15 years. P.S Fareeha's mum too cute xx

[@iamajbfanful]

Oh my GOD. What an interview … The way she took care of everything and everyone hatss off and now the way shes taking care of her mother is speechless may Allah reward you.😊

[@aditidixit6764]

Hello Aamna, thank you so much for starting this series. Frieha really inspires me, even you do! Keep these coming. And by the way, you have to show us your house too. I'm sure it's no less eclectic that this one! Love from India. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@myramalik208]

Uff Amna , you have no idea what this interview means to me ♥️♥️♥️ I have been a fan of Frieha Altaf since I saw her model at a fashion show in isd (1990 ) Used to copy her as a teenager wether it was her gelled back pony tail or her big hoop hearings ♥️♥️ Frieha was and always will be my fashion icon ♥️♥️🧿 Thank you for showing her in her environment , loved all the art pieces she’s collected over the years and her eclectic interior . Her life journey is a lesson for all of us . More power to both of you and for all the women out there who have lived life on their own terms ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you once again Amna for this 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️

[@elenam4846]

It was nice to see her off-screen persona. Aamna, can we get Mahira Khan on this one? Would love to get to know more about her and of course learn more about her amazing innate fashion style and how she styles her clothes.

[@mariammushtaq9925]

This was a delight. Loved watching this, I live alone away from home and an artist , trying to make a living through Art and after watching Freiha I feel more motivated. The way she’s collected art and made a mark in the society i am so proud of Pakistani Women.

[@botpolice429]

Nothing but respect for Freiha aunty. Love how she broke all stereotypes. Amazing 👏 although I didn't like how she constantly managed to point out that you can't do as you want "in Pakistan"

[@saimaasimrehman3330]

It was absolute pleasure to see Farieha and you together..well Farieha's journey and her choices in life have been bold, strong and impressive. I really appreciate how unapologetic she is about whatever she is, she acts like and she still wants to achieve..that's like a super confident human being ( won't label it any gender as it is a quality a human should bear)...thank amna for this treat..

[@saimaasimrehman3330]

Thank you amina for responding..would love to get a reply from you..keep entertaining us ...

[@hassinaayub8728]

Thank you Aamna for coming up with this..... Her house decor freaked me out but she herself is such a master piece...... Soo happy to see such inspirational women in our culture..... And her mom is such a beautiful thing to watch in the video.... I want to hug her Ami..... ❤️❤️

[@ramzianaveed7312]

I am glad I ended up watching this show. Freiha is a huge inspiration and loved seeing and listening to her achievements. It’s very typical of our society to always think the most negative things about successful women. Thanks for bringing this conversation to us Amina

[@mahamayhem.nasirr]

So good to see freiha ma’am! So inspiring and truly a delightful watch! Thank you so much Amna. I loved this interview.

[@fatburger2733]

What a wonderful woman she is. Very inspiring. Thank u Amna for interviewing her. Plz introduce new people to us.... although she's very old in her field but since she doesn't give so much interviews so it was quite refreshing to see her house and her story. 💕💕 More power to you both.

[@maidahsafdar3561]

I just loved the conversation. The way Fariha said that k tum ao gi tu mein khush ho gaon gi. I loved it. She was so comfortable with Amna. Well done!

[@nighatanwar7754]

It was soo lovely and heart warming to see farihas mother, and how she was very comfortable on showing her on the screen

[@user-fc2vx8vs7z]

Freiha is how I want to be when I grow old ❤ self-assured, self-actualized and no-fucks-given attitude. What an empowered woman!!

[@samanzaka7309]

really loved the interview ! she is so full of energy, i remember seeing her onscreen on LSA backstage videos , brainstorming everything out 😂 and have had the chance to watch Rosie (Tootsie’s remake) on ptv’s re-run of the show. what an amazing woman! and such a creative space of hers! thoroughly enjoyed your talk , didn’t know she had gone through so much. one more thing , after reading comments ;people are so prejudiced, it doesn’t matter whether one is privileged or not, going through personal losses , relationships , and sailing out of that turmoil is something unbearable ,unimaginable and requires humongous strength, especially in our society and culture , that too for a woman . it takes a toll on your sanity,on your every day aspect of life . money does make it easier but that being said the intensity and the gravity of the situation never changes , it takes the same amount of toll on that person mentally and physically whether privileged or not and takes a mammoth amount of strength and will power to overcome it . kudos to Frieha . really loved the talk! keep going Amna❤️

[@sheemazaman4185]

When Freiha said my kids don't want my old furniture, I was thinking please give it to me..! The wooden mirrored bed is sooo awesome!! 😍

[@duryawaheed8052]

I absolutely loved this interview. She has such a positive energy, so glad she shared her life story specially her mum that was so cool. Thanks amna, please keep putting up these rare interviews. Amazing amazing amazing😀

[@aamnamahmood5008]

Aamna I am an 18 year old Aamna myself and I see you as such an ideal woman and you're such a big inspiration for me. And I always learn so much from you whether it's about fashion, your vocab, or how to carry yourself with so much grace and elegance. You look so beautiful mashaAllah❤️ you're glowing!

[@uzabbasi4769]

Freiha good to see you here. I worked in my uni, i think till you buss the dishes snd scoop the ice creams, your US uni experiece is incomplete 🙌🏼

[@hats716]

Loved this ❤ the energy, the positivity, everything absolutely fantastic ❤

[@myfriendsmyfamily3605]

I love it when she brought her mom on camera. I got tears in my eyes because she was so comfortable to say this is my mom !! Love you frieha 🫂❤️

[@03334270854]

Now this is called an interview where you get to know the real life of someone. I must say the pieces weren't disturbing rather antique and a great piece of art. Most importantly at age of 60 she has far more positive energy and hope &goals than most of us at a young age which is really inspirational. I liked the fact she said put your short term goal infront of you and keep looking at it to achieve it. Lovely interview overall 👍

[@KrzyKuri]

I love funky eccentric homes that really stand out. Honestly, I didnt hear about her before (i i dont know many Pak personalities who arent in the dramas I watch) but Im glad im watching this video and got to know her. She has such a cool fun personality. I admire people who make their own path in this world, bindaas life.

[@samzee136]

Loved it !! thankyou Amna for such a lovely interview!! Frieha is so full of life so dynamic !! loved her paintings. Maybe someday i would own some myself :)

[@MeAwesomeJ]

Wow Yar !! So much insight and yes life start when you make decision on your own.

[@neetasoorma9799]

Brilliant episode Aamna.. full of Positivity and way to GO 👍👍💪. Freiha comes out strong and full of self esteem. One has to have real courage to share the lows' of life. Her home has amazing pieces and memories. Loved your outfit Aamna. Beautiful..👍👍👌👌👌🏻💕💕

[@rbkhan01]

Great collection - I agree with the goals achievements 🥳🥳

[@Mangakuray]

So looking forward to her podcast. What an interesting creature she is. I only knew of her name and face before this. Thank you for introducing her to me Amna! Oh and for the tour of that house of treasures. 💌

[@hinnakhalid7622]

I’m thoroughly enjoying these inspirational interviews, the one with Nabila as well. I need this energy right now

[@Mangakuray]

Oh MY God! I want each and every little piece of hers :) Amazing collection of art, books, and fashion. That's my kinda house 🥰❤

[@sabahahmed2912]

Really enjoyed this episode from start to finish. Frieha is soo inspirational loved her honesty and her message

[@aimana7891]

Loved hearing Frieha Altaf on so many different topics, especially about women. I am mesmerized by the struggle she has gone through to come this far in life MA. It's absolutely amazing to see her so content having faced all those struggles. I hope I can meet her someday. Being an art student, it was a treat to watch all the art pieces in her house, felt like a museum :D. Amna thank you for arranging this interview, but just a little advice for net time. We know you two are really good friends and probably you know a lot about her life, but during the interview at times, it felt like she probably was not comfortable bringing up a few topics, which you slightly pushed her by reminding her of different incidents in her life. I understand you wanted the viewers to know the full story behind the wonderful woman that she is, but for next time maybe let the guest take the lead about what they want to discuss. :)

[@aamnaisani]

Hey Aiman, thanks for your feedback. But don’t worry, I would never intrude on someone’s life without asking them first. Frieha was comfortable talking about everything we discussed. Her apparent discomfort was maybe nostalgia.

[@aimana7891]

@@aamnaisani Hey Amna, thank you for your reply. I am glad that Frieha was very comfortable speaking about her personal struggles. Yes you are absolutely right, it could be nostalgia. You take wonderful interviews, looking forward to seeing more content on your channel.😌

[@samaramomin3707]

Spotted a friend’s sculpture in the background. Woww her house is a complete art gallery.

[@NasirRKhan-Wanderer]

Loved her house. It should have been in two parts. First interview and second is tour of her house. Felt justice was not done to any.

[@nadiasingh2863]

It was such a fun episode. I liked her sculptures, very unique pieces..I found your reaction to the “disturbing” pieces super funny☺️

Loved the interview. She is unapologetically real. Just the way women should be🤍🤍

[@AS-sf7hr]

What a nice fun interview 👍🌟

[@sanamonster1]

The best part was meeting her mother and her house is so interesting, love her confidence in her own self. I wish she had elaborated more on her career, how she ended up becoming what she is now..i do like the idea of investments though..

[@humairashakir5369]

Really nice Looking forward to see such more inspiration ladies like maria b and others 👍

[@MuzikAficionado]

AHI, glad you let her show off her eccentric eclectic taste, which wasn't disturbing as such, esp for those in touch with the artists in their art world. Those collections let her express who she is or fancies and everything is not supposed to be about the subject (person), but also the object (itself) and its uniqueness which makes it beautiful in the eyes of the beholder. Even though one may differ from that taste, but Ppl need to let her be and love her for being herself - something most ppl can only dream of as they are not able to live the way they wish in this country - be it the western or eastern orthodox lifestyle, as both are very difficult to maintain in this country of highly judgemental people! Behind that iron lady is a sweetheart that only few get to see. When God takes away your life's foundations or crutches, He wants to make you a hero in your own life! The way wajood e zen se hai kainaat mein rang, the same way wajood e farieha se hai Pakistan mein rang! 💃 The way she transformed Pakistan's fashion scene with her midas touch is unparalleled and unprecedented! Hope she keeps us entertained for years to come.

[@sadiailyas7629]

Very very interesting and inspiring interview, the Paintings and Artistic Craft are mind blowing, Thank you so much Aamna for such a wonderful interview

[@dreamhousejewels158]

Inspiring

[@Says19]

Always loved this woman and now even more.

[@swatianil1]

First woman seen having such heavily invested in art pieces using her own taste unapologetically. Swimming against all the odds. She is also part of same orthodox, conservative society where other 99% women are still trying to find their identity. Along with her Atiqua Odho and Nabila also experienced multiple marriages and came out strong , independent, opinionated, fierce women who didn’t scared of doing own choices. Such a polar apart society we are part of.

[@saizeb]

Ok I’m 48 and a clutter free personality for headspace . Each to their own. And That’s what maturity is understanding that all find happiness in their own surroundings. Got to tell the truth lots of pieces are very disturbing. Hard working and made her own is good! Not every woman has that gumption.

[@zanmar6764]

Such an enjoyable interview
