For schooling, she attended Roots College International in Islamabad. Later she graduated with a degree in Visual Arts from National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore — where she developed a strong passion for painting and art from a young age.
Her thesis at NCA reportedly addressed social issues (e.g., her work on the transgender community). From early on, she was drawn to creativity — painting, sketching, art — which later blended into her modeling/acting career.
Early Career & Breakthrough
Naimal’s entry into modelling and acting was somewhat serendipitous: she was discovered through her photos on social media (Instagram) and subsequently offered modelling work.
Her film debut came in 2017 in Verna (directed by Shoaib Mansoor) — she played the role of “Mahgul.” That role brought her recognition and opened doors in both film and fashion circuits.
After completing her education, she took a break from projects for a short while. Once she resumed, she landed a leading role in the drama serial Anaa (2019), playing “Izza Khan.” Her onscreen chemistry and performance in Anaa gained her strong public attention.
As her popularity soared, she became one of the more talked‑about emerging actresses and also featured in high-profile modelling and fashion campaigns — leveraging her striking aesthetic appeal.
Career Peak, Hiatus & Return
The period around 2017–2019 marked Naimal’s highest visibility: film debut → drama success → social media fame.
However, in 2019, after marrying actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, she announced she was quitting acting. According to her, the decision was personal — made nine months before the wedding — not due to external pressure.
Post‑marriage, she focused on family life and her passion for painting. She maintained a presence through fashion shootings and her artwork, but largely refrained from major acting roles.
Recently (2025), there are reports that she may be making a comeback to television — possibly starring alongside her husband in a new drama, tentatively titled Ishq Mein Khuda Mil Gaya.
Personal Life, Family & Kids
In interviews/posts, Naimal has spoken about how family, especially her mother, has been a source of inspiration for her.
As a mother, she has also shared views on family planning and parenting — emphasizing that children change one’s life and couples should decide responsibly before starting a family.
✅ Artistic Identity — Beyond Acting
Even during her acting career, Naimal considered herself first and foremost a visual artist/painter. She continues to paint, share her artwork on social media, and engage with followers via her art and creative expressions.
Her background from NCA and early love for art — drawing, painting since childhood — shaped this dual identity of “actor + artist.”

Additionally, there is discussion about her return to acting through a new project. Some posts (on fan‑drama forums) express skepticism, claiming rumors.
Thus, while she remains admired for talent and beauty, public and media scrutiny — typical of celebrity life — have surrounded her.
