ISLAMABAD: Once known for her energetic pop hits and television appearances, Rabi Pirzada has found a new calling beyond the spotlight.
The Pakistani artist and former actress has transitioned from the entertainment industry to a life devoted to Islamic art and philanthropy, transforming her public image into one of resilience and faith.
After stepping away from showbiz in 2019, Pirzada returned to her childhood passion — painting.
Today, she is a self-taught artist specializing in Islamic calligraphy and realistic art forms. Her work often features Quranic verses rendered in rich detail on canvas and leather.
But her art serves a deeper purpose. Through the sale of her pieces, Pirzada funds her charitable initiatives, supporting widows, orphans, and low-income families. In the same year she left the entertainment industry, she founded the Rabi Pirzada Foundation, a non-profit organization focusing on education, healthcare, and vocational training for underprivileged communities, particularly women and children.
Her creative journey didn’t stop there. She also launched a modest fashion label, “Haya by Rabi Pirzada,” offering hijabs and traditional Eastern attire designed to promote self-expression rooted in faith and culture.
Pirzada first rose to fame in 2005 with her debut album Jadoo and later appeared in several television shows and films, including Shor Sharaba (2018).
Today, she uses her artistic and philanthropic platforms to promote compassion, creativity, and empowerment, proving that reinvention can be a powerful form of redemption.
