In 2011, Reema married Pakistani-American cardiologist and relocated to the United States.

Reema was one of the first Pakistani actresses to actively court the overseas market, particularly the UK. She frequently held concerts in Birmingham, London, and Manchester, understanding that the diaspora’s consumption of entertainment content was a lucrative and loyal market. Her wedding to a US-based cardiologist, Dr. Syed Tariq Shahab, further cemented her international lifestyle, which she cleverly integrated into her public persona.

: She was first spotted by director Javed Fazil and made her acting debut in the hit film Bulandi (1990).

“Now settled in the US, Reema stays connected to her roots through charity and occasional cameos. A true legend.”
