Pakistani model-turned-actress Saheefa Jabbar Khattak has always been admired for her individuality, creative expression, and powerful acting performances in dramas like Beti, Bhool, Rafta Rafta, and Log Kya Kahain Gay. While she continues to captivate fans with her strong screen presence and expressive reels, it’s her unfiltered take on personal growth and wellness that’s earning her even more love.
Currently based in Canada with her husband, Saheefa recently opened up about her physical transformation, revealing just how demanding — and deeply emotional — her fitness journey has been.
A Journey Fueled by Support and Consistency
In a heartfelt note shared on her social media, Saheefa credited her transformation to the dedicated support of her trainers and friends. She wrote that before even relocating to Canada, she feared she wouldn’t be able to stay motivated on her own. What kept her going were her trainers Murtaza and Amna, and her workout buddy Sally — people who literally banged on her door to make sure she showed up for herself, even on the worst days.
From sharing protein shakes to bonding over deep conversations about life, politics, and mental health — her gym community became her sanctuary. Saheefa admitted that their encouragement helped her push through emotional breakdowns, self-doubt, and mental blocks.
“It’s Never Easy — But It’s Always Worth It”
Saheefa bravely shared that staying fit isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s about lifting yourself through your darkest moments. She revealed that there are days when the mirror shows no progress and the mind feels even heavier than the body. Yet, it’s this very challenge that becomes transformative.
She wrote, “It’s never easy to leave the bed and force yourself to work out. But all of it — all of it gets better. Eventually, you’ll see changes. In your body. In your mindset. In how you show up for yourself. And suddenly… all that pain becomes part of your power.”
Relocating and Struggling to Find Balance Again
Saheefa also opened up about the difficulties she’s been facing since moving to Canada. With a change in environment and routine, she confessed that her diet has been off track and she’s been struggling to maintain the discipline she had worked so hard to build.
She vulnerably admitted, “It’s been almost three weeks since I got here, and I haven’t been eating right. I’m in the middle of a huge transition. That’s probably why I feel like all the gains, the discipline, and the progress I had made just slipped. It’s hard to put into words, but I really hope I find my rhythm again.”
Fitness as a Mental Health Remedy
One of the most important lessons Saheefa shared was how much the gym helped her mental health. She once believed it was an oversimplified solution — but her experience changed her perspective entirely.
She now urges others going through emotional turmoil to start moving — whether it’s a brisk walk, stretching, or lifting weights — and, if possible, to find a supportive trainer. For Saheefa, movement helped rebuild her confidence and mental resilience.
What Fuels Her Body Post-Workout
Being candid about her routine, Saheefa also shared her post-workout meal that keeps her energized:
- 2 scoops of protein powder
- 1 scoop of creatine
- 1 scoop of collagen peptides
This combination, according to her, is essential to refuel her body and maintain her strength.
Final Thoughts: More Than Just a Transformation
Saheefa Jabbar Khattak’s fitness journey isn’t just about visible gains — it’s about the internal battles she’s fought and the strength she’s discovered in the process. Her honesty resonates deeply with fans, proving once again why she’s more than just a celebrity — she’s a voice for self-growth, self-care, and self-love.
