The only internationally successful
Pakistani film star, Humaima Malick, who has always turned down offers
in the past to host events couldn’t say no to the opening of the mega
Sindh Cultural Festival when approached by the organisers. The festival
is commencing tomorrow (February 1
st) at the Moenjo Daro,
will be hosted by Humaima Malick who sounded very excited on having
given this opportunity and said ‘I am very excited to be a part of this
festival. I think it’s a great initiative by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and I
wish him all best for addressing such an important subject. As a
society, this was a much needed event to broaden our outlook and own our
identities.’
Humaima Malick, who is currently shooting Shaatir
alongside Emraan Hashmi for Kunal Deshmukh and bagged five International
Best Actress awards for debut movie Bol says ‘I consider myself a
cultural ambassador of Pakistan when I set my foot abroad for work.
Unfortunately, I feel there is not much we have done to bring out our
identities as a nation and specifically as a culture. Branding Pakistan
on the international front has been ignored for a long time and this
event is a tool to achieve that. I hope we get to see more such
festivals in future. Bilawal earns my respect for his vision.’
