Fazila Qazi and Kaiser Khan Nizamani are renowned Pakistani television actors who have recently garnered a new wave of fame and headlines—not for a screen performance, but due to a viral article written by their son, Zorain Nizamani. Zorain is a lawyer and is currently pursuing a PhD in Criminology in the USA. His article, “It’s Over,” made him popular, as he emphasized the inclusivity of the new generation while making policies, arguing that young minds are no longer buying outdated narratives promoted by people in power. The article was later removed after being noticed by higher officials. Fazila Qazi also clarified that her son’s article reflects his personal views as per situation and has nothing to do with any political affiliations.
Recently, Fazila Qazi appeared on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast Excuse Me, where she opened up about her son’s article.
Talking about it, Fazila Qazi said, “You should be interested in the article. Did you read the original one? There was a lot of misinformation surrounding it, but the original article did not contain anything controversial. Whatever happened was because of the polarization in Pakistan; otherwise, there was nothing too harsh in it. If you look at the new generation across the world, they talk like this. Students studying abroad have freedom of speech; they openly discuss issues with their teachers and classmates and share their opinions freely. What do we expect from the upcoming generation? My son is doing a PhD in criminology, political science, and criminal justice—they openly discuss such matters. We have certain responsibilities toward the youth and the nation, but we did not fulfill them responsibly and instead exploited our power. I am proud to be Zorain and Ahmed’s mother. I thank Allah for blessing me with such children. I always prayed to Allah to make my children good Muslims. We taught them the Quran as a guideline and encouraged them to seek answers through it. That is how they were brought up.”
