Areeba Emmanuel says it’s an ‘honour to be the first Pakistani girl on The Bachelor’

The Bachelor’s Areeba Emmanuel has spoken of the ‘honour’ of being the first Pakistani woman to star on the reality series. 

The 25-year-old told The Liverpool City Champion on Thursday: ‘It was an honour to be the first Pakistani girl on The Bachelor and national TV.’ 

The beauty then explained often times Pakistani women are turned off from doing the show for a number of reasons.  

‘Girls from my country don’t really get to do something like this, or they don’t think they are good enough to do something like this,’ she said.

Areeba then said she wanted to inspire other women while on the series. 

‘I want everyone to be inspired and motivated by me, and do whatever they want and not be scared about what ‘other people’ have to say.’

It comes after Areeba was left furious after Juliette Herrera slipped Locky a love note on Wednesday night’s episode of the show. 

Areeba claimed she was blindsided by the move, after befriending Juliette in the Bachelor mansion. 

‘She was privileged to be hanging out with me and Kristina. Now she’s on my bad side, and, trust me, you don’t want to be on my bad side at all,’ fumed Areeba. 

‘I’m a good person in general, but if you betray me, you f**king wish you never did.’ 

Juliette’s note landed her an all-important rose, and Kristina explained that had they known she was going to do it, they would have ‘upped our game’.  

‘I’m so happy that you’ve got the rose, I really am, but I’m feeling betrayed by you! I feel betrayed by our own. That’s how I’m feeling,’ a furious Areeba told Juliette.

Putting her head in her hands, Juliette admitted she hadn’t even thought to tell Areeba and Kristina, 24, about the note. 

Areeba said she felt ‘used’ by Juliette’s actions, before launching into an expletive-ridden tirade.  

The Bachelor continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Ten
