When: 24th of June - 15:30–16:30 Where: The Last Word Defence DHA phase 3 block Z 30-z Basement. Justice is blind but if one was to ask around it would seem as if it has even greater handicaps. Everyday the topic is highlighted in some way or the other, where the scales are tipped deliberately by the use of either finances or power. The Last Word is focusing on stories and anecdotes from all sorts of people, especially those part of the system to shed light on what is working, what is not and whether our need to hold on to optimism is misplaced. So be part of the Open Mic for your two cents.

We are not only learning the art of story telling but also making bench marks internationally.
When did you know you want to become and actor ? From my childhood. Always knew that i wanted to perform.
Tell us about your journey into the Pakistani entertainment industry. I was in newyork working at an advertising agency when Faheem burney who had previously seen me at a gathering with my mother Asma Abbas, called me to play the character of Areen in his serial with Momina Duraid Productions and thats when the stars changed for me.

Do you have any professional training ? No training. Althought i am a graduate in Film making and theatre.

In what way do you think cinema in Pakistan is evolving ? In many way actually. We are not only learning the art of story telling but also making bench marks internationally.
As an actor, how do you plan on aiding his evolution? Well, what i can do is do justice to whatever is given to me to play. We have to start on with ourself first to make a collateral benefit. Do you think their is still stigma in Pakistani society when it comes to this industry? Yes. I meet people here and there. The stigma is there but so is the respect. It is going hand in hand. Has your family been supportive of your career choice ? Very recently. Before that they didnt understand my dreams. However my mother always did. But now They are my strength.
What has been the most memorable part of your journey? The negativity. The breakdowns. I will always remember them. They tell me why i am here. And what would you say was the most challenging? Nothing has been challenging so far. Alhamdullilah.

Name a few people who inspire you? My mother is the only person that inspires me. Where do you see yourself in the next 10 years ? Wow. Next 10 years? I don’t know. I want to flow. I am only doing my job and the rest my fate will decide.
