Controversies• Hurt Religious Sentiments
Rabya and her fellow actress Hania Amir posted a dance video to the Hindi song 'Patakha Guddi,' which includes the phrase 'Maula Ali,' a reference to God that holds sacred meaning in Islam. The dance video received backlash due to the use of such a song for dance video. Recognizing the public's feelings, Rabya and Hania took down the video from all online platforms and extended an apology to their followers. [3]Daily Pakistan

• Unpaid dues issue
In 2019, Rabya alleged that HUM TV and Moomal Productions allegedly failed to pay her the agreed fee. Her brother, Faizan Sheikh, took to the internet to gain public support in an attempt to put pressure on the channel and production house. Rabya was initially promised PKR 182K, but she only received PKR 30K, with the remaining amount being withheld due to the expenses of her body double. Rabya said that she had informed them about her trip to the UK and had completed most of the scenes. However, she was reportedly threatened with a ban and visa cancellation if she left the country without completing the shoot. [4]Runway Pakistan
