| Interactive meet with Madeeha Gauhar | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Mar 25
Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages today organized an interaction programme with Madeeha Gauhar, a prominent actress, director and activist from Pakistan.
During interaction, Madeeha said that her mother was of great inspiration for her who now feels that her political consciousness stems from observing her mother's interaction with journalists and political activists, "My mother always encouraged me to form Ajoka when Gen Ziaul Haq's rule was at its oppressive peak." Her mother faced disapproval for Madeeha's career choice from relatives who were shocked and upset, but even in the face of such opposition, she pushed her daughter forward. Together with her sister, Faryal Gauhar, also an actress, Madeeha formed a small group of women who had the courage to take up acting in a society where music and dance were and are still prohibited in certain regions.
Madeeha acted in her first TV serial, Zanjeer (Chain) at the age of 17 and thereafter she never looked back and proved her mettle in the field.
Ved Bhasin was the chief guest at the function while Rita Jatendera Former Secretary Academy presided over. Renu Azad, Member Central Committee was also present in the presidium. |
