Reem Faruqi: Hi. My name is Reem Faruqi, and Reem is actually an Arabic name. I'm Pakistani, and it means an antelope with outlined eyes, and in ancient Urdu, Reem means to make an effort. So sometimes when I don't feel like trying that hard, I'll say, "Reem, you've got to live up to your name and make an effort." My last name is Faruqi. There is no U after the letter Q, which confuses a lot of people, but it's just Faruqi, and the Q is almost like a K for people to say, so Faruqi.
