Sharmeen Obaid, the woman who won Oscars twice and made her mark, is all set to go for yet another unique project. Her new project “home1947” revolves around the Indo-Pak independence stories. The name holds immense significance as it depicts what home meant to people of the time and how the two nations living together were like.

“People know me for my political and social work, but in 2007, I thought of this idea and thanks to the Manchester international festival I was given this opportunity to showcase this here in Manchester for 9 days, an unmissable experience for those who want to experience what their families have gone through during the partition, and how they have lived, felt, survived during that period.”

“The idea is unique as it’s not only reflecting the partition, but also all those people who have lost their homes and can’t go back to their homes. The project in itself will bring people from different races and colours to experience what people have gone through during the partition,”

This is what Sharmeen told the media as she explained what her new project holds.She, furthermore said:

“My main motive is to preserve the history of 1947, we are into 70 years of our independence so we don’t have enough people who have experienced partition, so the idea is to either film or write down the personal experiences of those who have seen or experienced partition. Those nations who don’t preserve their history always struggle to find their true identity, so this project will help in preserving our history and acknowledge our true history. I would also love to showcase this project in other countries especially India and Pakistan so more people can come forward with their stories.”

Sharmeen’s new project will project the idea of largest migration ever witnessed 70 years ago and how how difficult it was for people of the time to leave what they called “home”. The best part that will add spark to the documentary is that the two most talented singers ( Sanam Marvi and Harshdeep Kaur) from Pakistan and India will be performing together for the first time ever in the opening scene of “Home1947”.

SOC Films is launching Aagahi – Apnay Mustaqbil Ki to mark international women’s day, 2017.

Aagahi means awareness and it aims to educate women about their rights in Pakistan.

In the next 12 months, SOC films will release a series of videos in Urdu and other regional languages which will explain and clarify the legislations affecting women and how the legal provisions can be applied.

The series will answer many questions like how to file an FIR, what does the law state on instances of rape, sexual harassment, divorce and inheritance and what is the procedure for reporting issues like these and who should be approached for help.

Other topics include forced marriage, divorce rights, inheritance rights, domestic violence, sexual harassment and acid and cybercrimes.

“I have travelled the length and breadth of Pakistan and one thing that has always struck me is that we women know very little about the rights that we have in this country. We have little understanding of the court system and how to navigate it and aren’t always aware of the ways we can protect ourselves,” said Sharmeen. “This is why SOC Films has collaborated with the Women’s Action Forum and undertaken the project Aagahi through a series of videos, which we aim to disseminate for free, across Pakistan. We hope to educate women about their rights and how they can assert them.”

The series is in collaboration with women’s action forum. Aamina Sheikh’s voice has been used for the series.

Two times Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has done it again and this time she is the recipient of The Knight Journalism Award. The award recognizes media personalities whose reporting make a difference. She was one of the two recipients of the award; the other one being Syrian photojournalist Karam Al Masri.

The International Centre for Journalists (ICFJ) recognised Obaid-Chinoy’s decades-long career, which led to legislative change in Pakistan. Due to her documentary on honour killings A Girl In The River a law was passed regarding honour killings. Masri on the other hand was awarded for showing war-stricken Aleppo to the world.

Pakistani women are once again getting highlighted on the international forum this time through a documentary that has been produced by a charity run by actress Salma Hayek and directed by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy. The title of the documentary is Humaira: The Game Changer. This documentary was shown for the first time at the Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Deauville, France on Wednesday.

The documentary is a sequel to Humaira: The Dream Catcher, which was about the courageous woman Humaira who opened her school ‘ Dream Model Street School’ in that area of Pakistan where there was no concept of educating girls.

“The Dream School has changed the lives of hundreds of children. Every girl deserves to go to school, regardless of where she was born,” said Madonna, who appeared onstage with Humaira at the Sound of Change Live concert last year.

‘Dream Model Street School’ has been a dream come true for many because it has given more than one thousand boys and girls access to education. It has also given opportunity to women in that area to work in the school.

It is really good to see these issues being highlighted on international level, we wish Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy all the best for her future endeavors.

An old interview from 2018 of Sonya Hussyn criticizing fellow actress Mahira Khan’s choice for doing Bollywood movie Raees opposite Shahrukh Khan is making rounds on social media.

Sonya Hussyn appeared on Yasir Hussain’s The After Moon Show in 2018. During the rapid fire segment of the show, Yasir asked Sonya that if she was Mahira Khan which film of hers she would have not done? Yasir Hussain gave her three options: Verna, Raees and Ho Mann Jahan. To which Sonya replied that she wouldn’t have done Raees as she has no interest of playing a sidekick character to Shah Rukh Khan.

Recently the two-time Oscar winning director Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has lashed out at Sonya Hussyn for bringing down Mahira Khan in context for signing the Bollywood movie Raees opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Sharmeen left a comment under a post of digital media news publication saying, “Don’t think you’ll ever be Mahira Khan so you won’t ever get to say no,” She further added, “Don’t dis other women in the industry reflects poorly on you and your upbringing.”

Here we have gathered some public reviews on Sharmeen Obaid’s recent comment. Check it out!

“I will be talking about the 80% of women in Pakistan who have faced some sort of violence in their lives. The stories that I will be bringing will be about those women who have decided to stand up, speak out and change the reality in their community. My urgent call to action is that women can no longer wait for a seat to open up on the decision-making table. They need to empower themselves.”

More power to Sharmeen for always empowering the women of Pakistan!

Hamza Ali Abbasi is known to make a lot of controversial tweets or facebook posts. He is very actively involved in the politics of Pakistan and openly supports the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, Imran Khan. And so how could he keep quiet on the Ayesha Gulalai case?

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is the pride of Pakistan. She’s the first Pakistani to win an oscar for Pakistan and has won various other awards on her documentaries based on the social issues in Pakistan.

She hasn’t had any beef with Mr.Hamza in the past but this time the words “woman card” made the actor get on her bad side.She tweeted this regarding Hamza’s post, which he had also posted on his twitter account:

https://twitter.com/sharmeenochinoy/status/894071896295264256

Hamza has received a lot of backlash on this post not only from the general public and PML-N supporters but also from many media personnel.

This Hamza Abbasi has a history of such ludicrous reasonings, even worse. Many derogatory statements against minority groups as well.

With the kind of oppression the world is facing and how strongly Pakistani women are standing up for themselves now, it is a very good step to make them aware of their rights!

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a famous Pakistani filmmaker who has won academy awards two times for her documentaries. She is very vocal about her opinions on different issues. Recently a Hollywood producer was accused by many A-list actresses of sexual harassment and it started a debate on this topic. People shared their experiences in this regard and supported the actress Ashley Judd who started this debate after coming forward with the allegations against the famous producer. Maybe due to the roaring topi, Sharmeen also took to Twitter after her sister got a friend request from the doctor who treated her at Agha Khan University Hospital. She termed the request as a form of harassment and also said that she will report him.

Many people were put off by her definition of harassment and expressed their views. Ali Moeen Nawazish also wrote a post on this:

After his post, a colleague of the said doctor sent him this message:

The doctor is now fired from the hospital. He has four kids, is jobless and yes an allegation of sexual harassment too on him! Do you think it is right for a celebrity to get a person’ career destroyed due to a friend request? Share your thoughts!

Shaniera and Wasim Akram happen to be one of Pakistan’s favorite couple. Although an Australian by birth, Shaniera Akram has become a true Pakistani at heart, owing to her strong connection to this country.

Shaniera and Wasim Akram’s bonding is also one of the best we’ve witnessed so far and the duo keep giving their fans and followers a proof of chemistry and sense of humor together, on their social media.

And now, since Shaniera and Wasim along with their family, have been quarantining at home, owing to the rapid spread of the pandemic, coronavirus, the two have found a fun filled way to keep themselves engaged.

Recently Shaniera posted a series of pictures, where she, Wasim and their daughter had dressed up for role play while maintaining social distancing at home.

Upon watching these pictures on social media, Wasim Akram humorously warned Shaniera, stating she would have a phone ban for an hour.

In another set of pictures, where Wasim Akram was seen fit and healthy after his morning workout, Shaniera too joked that she would look better once her squat challenge was over.

Shaniera and Wasim Akram’s bonding is also one of the best we’ve witnessed so far and the duo keep giving their fans and followers proof of chemistry and sense of humor together, on their social media.

Shaniera Akram is quite often seen on different shows along with her husband, she receives a lot of love from Pakistan. Shaniera often says that she has now become a true Pakistani. She raises her voice on social issues as well. For the past few days, Shaniera is facing a lot of trolling because of her tweets that there is not any place in the world that is safer than Pakistan for her. People are calling her out, that she is privileged. For an average girl, the country isn’t safe at all.

Here are the tweets of Shaniera Akram that sparked the controversy.

There is no place in the world I feel more safe than in Pakistan 🇵🇰

— Shaniera Akram (@iamShaniera) September 18, 2021

I stand by my words, In terms of national security, I do feel completely safe in Pakistan.I know where we have come from & I have seen how hard we have worked to promote a peaceful nation & It’s a safe feeling when you’re with 200million people who all want the same thing -PEACE!

— Shaniera Akram (@iamShaniera) September 21, 2021

As a result of all the trolling and backlash, Shaniera through her story gave a detailed reply to the keyboard brigade.

This year will definitely be bringing in more footfall into cinemas than the past two years; courtesy, a number of local releases people are already looking forward to.

One such Pakistani film that the audience is highly anticipating is the Fawad Khan, Mikaal Zulfiqar starrer Money Back Guarantee, that will also have Pakistan’s favorite bhabi, Shaniera Akram making her big screen debut.

“A nervous Shaniera behind the scenes of my first Pakistani movie! My Twelve days on set included a sprained ankle, a bathroom lock in, a painful tetanus shot, sleepless nights, loads of Lays masala chips, language barriers to the next level, a romantic moment and an unforgettable chandelier stunt that gave me an out of body experience. Do you think I should get a money back guarantee???? What an amazing experience working with the great @faisalqureshi_official and such an awesome cast!,” wrote Shaniera about her experience behind the cameras shooting for Money Back Guarantee.

Written and directed by Faisal Qureshi, Money Back Guarantee is all set to bring about a fantastic cast on screen including Mikaal Zulfiqar, Fawad Khan and Gohar Rasheed while Mani, Shaniera Akram and even Wasim Akram will be seen in potential cameo appearnances.

The shooting of the film has already begun, however, the release date is yet to be announced.

They say behind every successful man, there  is a woman. It is true in some cases. But is that all? While, a man is celebrated for his achievements, the woman behind gets a mere mention. Nobody really talks about what actually it takes to be behind. It takes keeping herself secondary to his dreams. Sacrificing her career, likes and dislike etcetra.

Who is not familiar with Shaniera Akram’s name? She’s the second wife of the king of swing, Waseem Akram. Shaneira may not have been a former sportswoman, she does not refrain from being a hero in real life. She stands shoulder to shoulder with her husband when it comes to supporting good causes. She was recently there for the Special Olympics Participants to cheer them up. Her twitter bio defines that being a woman is her superpower.

She truly is a superwoman and she knows how to deal with the people who look down on women. She certainly  wants women to appreciated. She recently slammed a man on twitter who said that a woman’s Chai has a big role to play in a man’s success. Guess what she strongly disagrees with it. She said that there is more than Chai that a woman does for a man. And limiting her to her Chai making abilities is not good. We completely agree with you, Shaniera. Women need to be appreciated more often.

Shaniera Akram, a lady born in Australia and later on married to Pakistani cricketer, Wasim Akram. She considers herself very lucky to be part of Pakistan. Out of love, she has started working in Pakistan as a social worker to bring change in society.

Shaniera Akram spends time with underprivileged kids. Recently, she posted her picture with school kids on Instagram with the caption, “You know your love, is lifting me higher, higher than ever before.”
