This article is translation of interview of famous cooking show host, Abeel Javed published recently in Urdu Weekly Akhbare Jehan. Abeel has shared some interesting aspects about her personal and professional life in this interview.

Abeel Javed is basically known for being host of a cooking show, and it is her major strength. But her beautiful personality and courtesy are the main qualities which draws the attention towards her within no time.

That’s why despite 1000 episodes of famous cooking show ‘Haandi’ on a private channel (Masala TV), she is still hosting it successfully. Reader may already knew that Mrs. Zubeda Tariq is the cooking expert in that show, with whom Abeel have great understanding, which is also an important aspect of this program.

Apart from other qualities, name “Abeel” is quite unique. Abeel told it is an Arabic word whose meaning is Success and Win. Born on 17^th October, Abeel zodiac sign is libra. Probably that is why she has such a balanced personality. Telling about herself Abeel told she has completed education in textile designing and completed the diploma with distinction of third position.

On answering the question why showbiz instead of field of textile designing, Abeel told “actually I got work in a commercial and then I accepted an offer of live show from a channel, and it continued in a way that I am totally in showbiz field”

Why food channel? Are you fond of cooking? In response Abeel told “I accepted the offer being host, as the cooking is responsibility of cooking expert in show. At that time I even not knew about the names of masalas. But now after four years I have also learned how to cook well”

Any intention to become a cooking expert in future? “Neither such intention, nor any plan to do a show as cooking expert. I only like hosting” Abeel answered

As you said you have learned cooking and quite accomplished now, do you cook at home?

“Yes now I can cook all types of dishes. I try all the recipes which I like most” Abeel answered confidently.

When you do cooking there must be some hustle at home, that today Abeel is cooking food or you do it silently?

“No I neither do any disturbance nor ask for help from anyone instead I complete my work myself in a brisk manner”

Abeel cooking is liked not only by her family but by her friends too. Since her parents are from Delhi she is now also an expert in cooking Delhi cuisine. Her favorite dishes are traditional desi food of Delhi, lasgne, pasta and noodles of every type. She can also cook these dishes very well.

How much glamour is necessary in showbiz? How much importance you give to glamour?

“Glamour is a must in showbiz”, Abeel answered instantly, “But there should not be any element of immodesty, glamour is not a bad thing, but consideration of our culture and values is also important. As far I am concerned I like being attached to my culture and always wear eastern dresses.”

Any preference in makeup? In response Abeel told that she likes light and natural makeup, and does her makeup herself.

On the question what are you plans for marriage, she told “Maybe soon you all will hear my wedding news as it is it my mother wish, but I am not yet engaged”. In this regard Abeel prefers decision and choice to her mother and wants to select her life partner as per her mother’s opinion. Abeel is second in total of four siblings. Her father is no more in this world, so she is quite touchy about her mother and wants to comfort her in all possible ways. On the topic of love she said “I have never experienced it, but it is a natural sentiment and I think persons in love with each other are ready to compromise for each other”.

Any plans to join acting field? In response Abeel said, “Acting is quite time consuming activity that is why I cannot afford to do work in dramas. I only like live shows in which there is no recording.” She further told “If I had a beautiful voice I may have been singing but in future I have plan to work in the field of textile designing”

Abeel has almost worked with all the famous chefs and all are her favorites too. But due to her long relationship and respect for Mrs. Zubeda Tariq, she considers her as the best cooking expert. She told. “It is due to Zubeda aapa that I can cook well today. She guides about all things in an easy manner that cooking looks very simple.”

Any tips for women who do cooking?

“I am not a chef, but I have learned many things since I am host of a cooking show for many years. First thing I will like to tell is interest and dedication is must to do anything. In start there must be some difficulty in cooking but your interest will make it easier. So cooking nihari or kofta is not difficult any woman can make it.”

Any common mistake which women generally do while cooking?

“Mostly housewives or girls learning cooking add more salt by mistake, so always add less salt and pepper. As it is easy to make less more, but there is a long process to make salt and pepper less. Also do not make too oily foods, try to add less quantity of oil in food.”

Soft spoken and soft hearted Abeel likes chit chat, but she is also an isolationist by nature and normally avoids gatherings. She said I like hustle bustle but I also like isolatation.

Her hobbies include reading mystery novels, watching horror movies, sketching, designing and cooking well made dishes. She said good food is a way to win hearts.

She considers wordings of Anwar Maqsood as best comments of her life which he said on completion of 1000 episodes of “Haandi” that “He has never seen any anchor of a live show speaking such clear and pure Urdu fluently.”

Her message for readers is “Cooking is not a difficult thing; it is an art so enjoy it. Also take care of your parents as there is no replacement of them in this world.”

Interview of Yasra Rizvi has been published in Sunday Magazine of Daily Jang. It is translated for the readers of this blog. Interview and pictures courtesy of Daily Jang. Below is the translation of interview conducted by Ms. Saima Naaz in Urdu for Daily Jang.

Claim of versatility by many new and upcoming actors is like promises of politician with public during election campaign. But truth is what that is admitted by all, and the opinion of public about politicians is apparent in front of us. However in showbiz, it is true, many new actors are working here giving a fresh look to screen. But it is also true many youngsters are progressing by using glamour and technology. But..Yasra Rizvi is one of those actors who have made her place in the field of showbiz due to her quality work in quite short time. A confident and strong personality Yasra has performed a role in Geo TV’s drama serial ‘Virasat’ totally opposite to her personality. After doing a well performed comedy role in ‘Kis din mera vyah howay gaa’, she is now skillfully performing role of a grieved mother in Geo TV’s drama ‘Man ke Moti’ and receiving praise for it as well. Yasra is not only an actor, but she is also God gifted in field of writing and speech. Then why shouldn’t she be called versatile. Yasra is a pleasant edition to television industry and it is expected that her interest in films and its trends can play a role in betterment of our film industry. In recent days there has been an interesting conversation with Yasra regarding her private and professional which Is as follows for the readers.

Question: Tell us about your family and life.

Yasra: I am from Islamabad. I was born on 15^th November 1982. My parents are also from the field of journalism. Mother used to write diary for Daily Jang Islamabad. I have only one brother who is also in journalism.

Question: From where you completed education?

Yasra: I have done BBA in Human Resource Management from Michigan University, USA and then Master in Mass Communication from Britain. Then my interest shifted towards films and theater and I tried to give a new trend to Urdu theatre and film with my writings.

Question: How was your childhood time?

Yasra: My childhood was in Islamabad. My house environment was quite literary, so I was interested in ghazal, classical poetry and poetry. I never done acting in school, but when I started writing , my family never stopped me, instead they helped me.

Question: From which field you started your career?

Yasra: I started my career as a writer and then came towards acting. For theatre my first written play was “Bench” which was in Urdu. It was a memorable moment for me, when after this play, when audience in theatre hall clapped for me. I can never forget that day.

Question: Which type of literature do you like?

Yasra; I am a drama writer and since my parents are also in the field of writing, instead of discouraging they encouraged me. I am inspired from the works of Anwar Maqsood and Munnoo Bhai. My own writing style is also a bit classical.

Question: Born in a literary environment, being a writer yourself, how you came towards acting?

Yasra: It was sudden. I was in Karachi, when I met few persons from Islamabad theatre over here. I presented my portfolio to them and they instantly called me. That drama was not worth mentioning but my character was appreciated. After theatre, Sabiha Somaar casted me in a small but powerful role in Geo’s drama ‘Mi Raqsam’.  I also did ‘Kis din mera vyah howay gaa’ on Geo. Experience of working in drama ‘Virasat’ of Geo was also helpful. Now a days I am working in drama ‘Man Ke moti’ on Geo TV.

Question: Being a writer and actor at same time, is helpful or harmful?

Yasra: Its helpful in every way. Being a writer I knew many problems of our society. I want whichever drama I work in, must have some message and objective and it would convey a message to public along with entertainment in an unfelt way. Drama or showbiz is not only entertainment but is also a necessity of our society. Entertainment is still limited to television for a large population of our country. Television can be very helpful for awareness and consciousness for those people. Whether writer or actor I think both must have good observation. I use observation in both writing and acting, due to which understanding and performing a character becomes easier.

Question: What’s your opinion about theatre?

Yasra: Theatre is a quality entertainment but sadly Urdu theatre has almost ended in our country. Quality of Punjabi theatre is very poor. Our youth has done very hard work for Urdu theatre. Recently the success of ‘Aangan Terha’ has set a new trend and I feel very happy to see a theatre prospering again.

Question: Any message for current youth

Yasra: Our youth do not read classical history, books or go to library; they are not familiar with dramas of Imtiaz Ali Taaj. I feel sorry for that. I want youngsters should also focus on this.

Question: Which type of role you want to perform in dramas?

Yasra: No special preference for characters, I believe in versatility. Performing roles of same type is like death of an artist for me.

Question: Any interest in music

Yasra: I am inspired from legends like Noor Jehan, Fareeda Khanum, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ghulam Ali, and also like to listen to them.

Question: Youngsters of every era want to join showbiz what is your opinion on it.

Yasra: I think if someone has talent, nothing in the world can stop him/her for making name. As compared to past now youngsters have more opportunities. There are many television channels and radio station, but talent is must.

Question: What is your opinion on ongoing trend of ‘Remaking’?

Yasra: Remaking of films is a good thing. New generation knew about their heritage by this. But presenting old films in new style is not sufficient; there must be new films as well. In India film is a profession of many people, if film making starts in our country it can provide work to many houses.

Question: Many new artists frequently complain regarding no support from senior actors, how is your experience?

Yasra: Attitude of seniors has always been good towards me. If a junior is arrogant and ineligible no one teach him/her. I think nothing could be more encouraging then praise from a senior.

Question: How was your journey from Islamabd to Karachi?

Yasra: Karachi is an excellent city. Life continues here despite terrorism incidents. If anyone wants to work or make career here, both this city and its citizen are extremely helpful’

Question: When will you get married?

Yasra: Everybody gets married, if I don’t it will be an individuality. So I don’t have any intention for getting married.

Question: You are quite sensitive about film industry, any plans to make a film in future?

Yasra: Definitely, there is strong plan to make a film. Film is quite demanding thing, so am working patiently. I want to make a film, in which dressings, language, environment everything is a representative of our country. Film must be close to reality. If film is Pakistani, then it must take care about our values. Making such film is my dream which I will make true in near future.

Question: If there is one principle for a successful life, what should it be?

Yasra: “Hard work” is the only principle for a successful life.

Question: Which is your area of interest and which areas you dislike?

Yasra: I watch television with great interest. I can do cooking, but no special interest in it. Politics is so much discussed in my house that I have no interest in it. I am quite social; all my past friendships are still active. I easily intermix with others. I don’t like getting up early, but now have to do that.

Question: Which area you will like to work in future?

Yasra: Film writing, production and direction, I will focus on all of these.

Question: Any childhood fear which still prevails

Yasra: Oh, I am scared of cat, and I don’t dine outdoors due to this.

Question: It is said, there is a woman behind every successful man. Do you believe it?

Yasra: Whether man or woman, there is a support system behind every successful person. There are sincere persons who encourage them.

Question: What is your message to those who want to join showbiz?

Yasra: Like all other fields you have to work hard, if you want to earn fame in showbiz. Teamwork and cooperation will result in your success.

Interview of Kashmiri Leader Yaseen Malik and his Pakistani Wife Mishal from Urdu Monthly Gourmet Magazine done by Zoha Imran.

India the country we know for its music, art, films and film stars. But there is also a flip side to this soft image of India. Apart from films and music India is also a big military power, and it is using it to suppress Kashmiri’s right to self determination through extreme brutality and savageness for past 67 years . Today is 5th February, Kashmir Day, India’s illegitimate occupation of Kashmir is still a reality, lets hope Kashmiris get their right for self determination to decide their fate.

Rashid Nazir Ali

Here is the roman Urdu version of this interview

Ideal zindagi shayed aisay hee hoti hai

Apni khoobsoorat ada-kaari say sab ko maat denay waali saba qamar nay kitaboN mein bassay kirdaron sey bohat kucch seekha hai

Saba qamar parda-e-seemenN per chamaknay waala who sitara hai jis-ki roshni mein shoalon kee hararat hai aur chaand ki thandak bhi. Kahin who shaukh-o-chanchal adayeN dikhati nazar aati hain to kahin saadgi ka perahan aurhay aik masoom aur gum-sum larki. saba ki yeh versatile nature hi hai jo ussay apni hum-asar adakaraoN mein numayaN kartee hai. who apni jaandaar performance say kissi bhi kirdaar mein jaan daalnay ka hunar jaan-ti hai. nidar, bebaak aur asool pasand saba ko apnay kaam sey ishq hai aur ussay challenge qabool karna bhi pasand hai. isi liye bator heroine career shru karnay kaay baw-jood saba nay har tarah kay kirdaar kiye hain. saba nay comedy bhi ki aur manfi kirdar bhi kiya kyon-kay aik makhsoos chhaap lag jaanay kay dar say wo behtreen ada-kaari ka mauqa nahin chhor saktee . dastaan, maat, paani jaisa pyaar, jo chalay to jaan say guzar gaye, aasiya, yahan pyar nahin hai, thakkan, hum sab umeed say hain jesay mega projects say bey-panah maqbooliyat haasil karnay kaay baad saba apni zindagi aur career say mutma-in to hain magar zindagi kay is safar mein bohat see kamiyabiyan aur khushiyan abhi bhi is bey-baak larki kee muntazir hai jo aagay barhnay kee lagan mein behtar sey behtar kee khhoj mein magan hai (idara)

Mehroomi key baw-jood aik khush-gawar bachpan

Meri walida kaa taaluq qazi syed khandan sey hai aur waalid Karachi kee bukhari family sey hain, isi liye meri zindagi kee ibtida Karachi say hui lekin mehaz teen (3) saal kee umar mein baap kee shafqat say mehroom ho gayee thhee to walida apnay 6 bachon samait apnay abayee shehar Gujranwala aa gayen. Yoon meray bachpan ka zyada tar hissa Gujranwala mein guzra. Mein us waqt bohat chhoti thee jab baba ka intiqal huwa, is liye bohat zyada yaadein samaitnaay ka mauqa naa mil saka. Magar maazi kee dhundhlee see yaad kay jis mein meray baba mujhey gaud mein utha kar balkoni kee sair karwatay thhay, meri sunehri yaadon mein aaj bhi mehfooz hai aur mein aaj bhi apnay shafeeq baap kay mohabbat bharay lamas ko mehsoos kar sakti hoon. Hamary muashray mein jahan mard ko ghar ka kafeel aur muhafiz samjha jaata hai wahan nihayat chhoti umar mein baap ka saaya sar sey utth jaana aik bohat bari mehroomi bhi samjha jaata hai magar meri maan nay kabhi bhi bey-chargee aur bey-basi ka libada na aurha aur na hi apni aulad ko aisa karnay diya. Hum behan bhaiyon nay maan kay aanchal mein chhup kar aik khoobsorat aur zindagi say bharpoor bachpan guzara. Baap kee kami to thee magar baray bhai kaay pyar nay mehroomi kaa ehsaas hee na honay diya. Ghar mein sab say chhoti honay kee wajay sey maan aur behan bhaiyon kee laadli thee. Dar-asal mein zindagi say bhar-pur thhee aur apni zindagi kay har lamhay ko enjoy karna chah-tee thee lekin chaun-kay parhai mein acchi thhee is-liye meri shaukh mizaji aur zinda-dili say kissi ko koi ikhtilaaf nahin thha. Ghar say laad uth-waatay aur dostaun say kheltay huway bachpan kesay guzar gaya pata hee na chala

Showbiz mein kesay aayee?

Bachpan kaa zyada tar waqt gujranwala mein guzra lekin school life khatam honay kaay baad bachon kee mazeed parhai kaay liye ammi hamain Lahore lay aayen. Mujhay bachpan say ada-kaari ka shauq to thha magar showbiz mein entry qudrat ka haseen ittefaq thhaa. Huwa kucch yoon kay college kay dinon mein main apni aik dost (jis ki behan production house mein kaam karti thhee) kaay saath shooting daikhnay gayee wahan dost kee behan ko mujh mein potential nazar aaya aur uss nay mujhey kaam kee offer kar di. Mujhey bhi acting ka shauq thha jesay uss umar mein har khawab daikhnay waali har larki ko hota hai. Magar mujh per qismat kee khaas karam-nawazi thee kay mujhey apni salahi-taun ko aazmaanay ka chance bhi mil gaya aur mein nay dartay huway offer qabool kar lee aur yoon ptv kay dramay ‘mein aik aurat hoon’ kay zariyay apnay career kee seerhi per pehla qadam rakkha.

Khandan ki mukhalfat

Hamray muashray kay dastoor bohat hi niralay hai. Hamain tv per nazar aanay walay fun-kaar bohat acchay lagtaay hain. In kay faishon ko follow karna aur un kay saath tasweerain ban-wanay ka shauq bhi hota hai lekin agar apnay khandaan kee koi larki in fun-karoon kee saf mein khhari ho jaye to yeh ghalat hai. Jab apni zaat per baat aati hai to dastoor badal jaatay hain. Issi qisam kay asool pasand muasharay aur rishtey-daaron nay meray muntakhib karda raastay ko naa sirf ghalat qarar diya balkay mujhey wapis lotnay per majboor bhi kiyaa. Magar mein ruknay waali nahin thee kyon-kay mein jaan-ti thee kaay issi raastay per meri manzil mera intezaar kar rahi hai. Khandaan ki mukhalfat ki wajah se meray liye apnay iss faislay per saabit qadam rehna itnaa aasaan naa hota agar meri family khaas taur per maan aur bhaai ka aitbaar meray saath naa hota. Mein nay bhi hamesha koshish kee hai kaay khud ko scandals say door rakkhon or family kaay aitmaad ko kabhi tootnay naa doon

Muashray ki nazar mein fun-kaar bura hi kyon?

Meray khayal mein acchay burray log har jaga hotay hai is-liye mehaz aik field ko bura kehna ghalat ho gaa. Media aur showbizness aik aisi field hai jis mein sab kuch aap kay samnay hota hai. Is-liye log bhi tanqeed kartay hain aur ungliyan bhi utthataay hain. Aik lark jitni bhi paak-daman ho agar who media mein hai to bay-kirdaar hai aur agar koi larki apnay maan baap kee nazron mein kitni hee dhhool jhonk rahi ho lekin uss kaa taaluq media say nahin hai to muashra ussay paak-damman hee kahay gaa. Hamara muashra tang zehan hai aur hamary mei-yaar society kaay har fard aur tabqay kay liye alag hain. Aik artist agar das (10) dramon mein accha kaam kar raha hai to koi uss ki taareef nahin karay gaa aur agar kahin uss say ghalti ho jaaye to 100 log tanqeed karnay bahir nikal aatay hain

Umeed jo poori huwee

Mein nay mehaz 19 saal kee umar mein industry join kee aur yeh meri khush qismati thee kay mujhey acchay producers, directors kay saath kaam karnay kaa mauqa mila. Lekin geo tv kay comedy show ‘hum sab umeed sey hain’ nay mujhey meri asal pehchaan dee aur mujhey apnay career say jo umeedain thhee who poori hoti nazar aayeen. Magar ‘hum sab umeed say hain’ kee hosting aur acting meray liye bohat bara challenge thha. Jahan mujhey har haal mein apni performance ko 100% ban-ana hota hai. Yeh program kartay huway mujhey ehsaas huwa kaay logon ko hansaana kitnaa mushkil kaam hai, kyon kaay chahay aap beymaar hon, perishaan hon yaa bohat hee buraay mood mein hoon lekin camera kaay saamnay aapko fresh aur mazah say bharpoor hee nazar aana hai. Sanjeeda ada-kaari mein aapkaay paas margin hota hai magar comedy mehnat aur commitment kaay baghair ho hee nahin saktee. ‘Hum sab umeed say hain’ meri zindagi kaa sab se mushkil aur kamyaab project hai

“Maat” meri jeet ban gaya

“hum sab umeed say hain” karnay kaay baad jahan mujhey aik pehchaan milli aur mega projects mein kaam karnay ka mauqa bhi milla. Magar zyada tar serials aur shows mein mujhey shaukh, chanchal aur zindagi say bharpoor larki kaay kirdaar millay magar mein kucch alag karna chah-tee thhi. Aisa kirdaar jo meray baaqi tamam kirdaron say mukhtalif ho jis mein log mujhey aik naye andaaz mein daikh sakain. Aisay mein jab “MAAT” drama mein “SAMAN” ka kirdar karnay ka mauqa mila to mein nay foran yeh offer qabool kar lee. Agar-chay yeh aik manfi kirdaar thha aur koi doosri ada-kaara shayed career kee oonchayee per aisa kirdaar naa karna chahtee magar yahan bhi mein nay apnay dil ke sunni aur iss challenge ko bhi qabool kiya. Shayed meri lagan sachi the is liye yeh ‘maat’ meri zindagi kee jeet ban gaya jis nay mujhey shohrat ki bulandiyon per ponhchaa diya aur logon kaay ilaawa directors nay bhi mujhey aik versatile ada-kaara tasleem kar liya. Is kaay baad mujhey milnay waala har kirdaar munfarid aur behtereen thha

Kirdaar kee nafsiyat ko samajhna zaroori hai

Mein bohat chhoti umer mein showbiz mein aa gayee thhee isliye graduation kay baad taaleem haasil nahin kar saki lekin mujhay mutaalay kaa bohat shauq hai aur mein hamesha kitabain parh-naay kay liye waqt nikaal leti hoon. Mein nay English literature mein Shakespeare aur Paulo Coelho ko parha hai jabkaay urdu mein bano qudsia aur umera ahmed pasandeeda hain. Al-chemist aur peer-e-kaamil who kitabain hain jinhon nay meri soch kaa zawiyaah hee badal diya. Adab kaay ilaawa nafsiyaat mera pasandeeda mazmoon hai aur mein insaani nafsiyat saay mutaaliq kitabin parhti hoon kyon kaay jab tak aap insaani nafsiyaat ko nahin samajh letay kirdaar mein haqeeqat kaa rang nahin bhar saktay. Artist bohat hisaas hota hai who apnay zaati tajarubaat kaay saath saath mushahidaay say bhi bohat kucch seekkhtaa hai. Mujhay in kitabon aur in kitabon mein bassay kirdaroon nay bohat kucch sikkhaya hai.

Mein yoga karti hoon

Log mujhay zindagi say bhar-poor larki samajhtay hain jo kucch had tak theek bhi hai. Meri fitrat mein aik hulchul thee aik toofan thha jis mein meri zaat bahay jaa rahi the. Meri zindagi mein nazm-o-zabt aur thehrao nahin thha. Who tawazun jo aik balance life guzarany kay liye bohat zaroori hai. Apni zindagi mein thehrao laanay aur fitness ko barqarar rakkhnay kay liye mein nay yoga classes shru kar deen. Ab picchlay teen (3) saalon say baa-qayedgee say yoga kar rahee hoon. Meri zaat mein thehrao aur soch mein pukhtagee kee bari wajah yoga hee hai

“Mein manto” mera dream project

Qismat hamesha mujh per meharbaan rahee hai aur shayed meri khush qismati hee hai kaay career kee shuruaat mein hee kayee yaadgaar performances day chukkee hoon lekin har fun-kaar kee tarha behtar say behtreen kaam karnay kee yeh fitri khawahish meray andar zinda hai aur mujhey umeed hai kaay kaay yeh khawahish aur tish-nagi hamesha zinda rahay gee aur meray andar chhupay artist ko kaam karnay per uksaati rahay gee. Wesay to mera har project hee meray dil kaay qareeb hota hai magar is waqt mein jis project per kaam kar rahi hoon uss ka naam hai “mein manto” jo kay mash-hoor afsaana nigar saadat Hassan manto kaay afsanon per mabni aik mega project hai jissay sarmad sultan khoosat direct kar rahay hain. Iss project ko aap mera dream project bhi keh saktay hain, jiss mein log mujhay jald aik naye andaaz mein daikhhin gay. Jab sarmad sultan khoosat nay mujhey yeh role offer kiya to mein bohat nervous thee kaay itna bara aur aham role kesay kar paoon gee magar sarmad sultan kaa yeh kehnaa thha kay yeh role aap kaay illaawa koi aur ada-kaar kar hee nahin sakti, meray liye yeh aik bohat bara compliment hai

Shaadi kab?

Shaadi aik bohat aham faisla hai mein iss mein jalad baazi nahin karna chahtee aur wesay bhi mera yaqeen hai kaay naseeb say zyada aur waqat say pehlay kissi ko kucch nahin miltaa hai. Iss liye jab sahih waqat ho gaat to meri shaadi bhi ho jaye gee. Aaj kal meri shaadi kaay baray mein afwahain manzare-aam per aati rehti hai magar unn mein koi sidaqat nahin. Meray nazdeek shaadi zindagi kaa aik aham faisla balkay turning point hai aur mein jab shaadi karoon gee to ussay kabhi bhi nahin chhupaoon gee aur mein yeh bhi wazah kar dena chah-tee hoon kay meri koi ideal nahin hai. Haan bas mera shareeke safar aik sacha insaan ho gaa

Ideal zindagi kiya hai?

Ideal zindagi wohi hai jis mein aap khush aur mutma-inn hon aur yeh khushi aur itmenaan tab hi hasil hota hai jab aap ko iss haqeeqat per yaqeen aa jaye kay waqat sey pehlay aur naseeb say zyadah kissi ko kucch nahin milta to phhir zyada kee hawas nahin rehti aur insaan ALLAH TAALAA kee naimtoon kaa shukar guzaar ho jaata hai. Aaj mein aapni zindagi say mutma-inn hoon . aap keh saktay hain kay mein aik ideal zindagi guzar rahi hoon. Mohabbat karnay waali family, bulandi ko chhota huwa career aur lakkhon logon ka pyar – – aik ideal zindagi shayed aisee hee hoti hai—!

Award show kiya hain?

Aik ada-kaar kay liye pazee-rayee utnee hee zaroori hai jitnaa kissi poday kay liye paani! Jis tarah poday ko nasho-numa kay liye paani kee zaroorat hoti hai hai ussi tarah har fun-kaar kaay dil mein apnay fun ko nikkharnaay kay kee umang mojood hoti hai aur iss jazbay ko zinda aur tawanaa rakkhnay kay liye pazi-rayee bohat zaroori hai. Artist ko yeh pazi-rayee faraham karnay kay liye award show aik bohat aham zariya hain basher-tekay yeh award merit per diya jayen. Aik to hamary mulk mein award shows hotay hee bohat kam hain aur jo chand gintee kaay award hotay hain uun mein merit kaa koi tasawur nahin. Yoon lagta hai jesay award jury apni zaati pasand aur face value per logon ko nawaz rahi hai jabkay award denay kaa asal may-yaar sirf aur sirf performance honi chahiyay

Confused muashray kay liye

Mein Pakistani hoon aur mujhay apnay Pakistani honay per fakhar hai mein kissi Indian film mein maamooli saa kirdaar karnaay kee khawahish-mand nahin hoon. Haan agar donon mulk barabree kee satah per kaam  karain to uss ka fayeda donon mumaalik kaay funkaaron ko ho gaa. Iss waqt halaat yeh hain kaay tamam Indian aur Turkish ada-kaar to Pakistan kay har ghar aur tv lounge mein dasti-yaab hain magar Pakistani ada-kaaron ko unkaay ghar mein koi nahin jaan-taa. Is kaay bar-aks india kaa koi third class actor bhi Pakistan aa jaye to media aur awam paaglon kee tarah uss ka istaqbaal kartee hay. Iss waqt hamary mulk mein indian aur Turkish drama nashar karnay kaa jo riwaaj chal niklaa hai iss khatarnaak riwayat seay agar-chay Pakistani channels to khoob kama rahay hain lekin agar rating barhaanay kee daur mein shaamil channels ko bar-waqt naa roka gaya to iss kaay sangeen natayej pooray muashray ko apni lapait mein lay lain gay. Pehlay hamara artist khatam ho gaa aur phhir Pakistani siqafat — hamara media aur awam Turkish drama mein nazar aanay waali fahashi ko public demand kaa naam deti hai magar yehi libaas agar Pakistani ada-kaarayen pehan lain to sab kee ungliyan khari hoti hai. Dar-asal ham confused qaum hain jis nay dohray may-yaar apnaa rakhay hain aur hamara media iss gumrah qaum kee islaah karnay ki bajaye mazeed gumrah kar raha hai

Moomal Sheikh

Nazuk khadokhaal ki haamil adakara aur model momal sheikh showbiz ki cham-chamati dunya mein aik khobsurat izafa hain. Who basilayehat funkaar javed sheikh ki sahibzaadi hai apnay waalikd ko behtareen adakar maanti hain, lekin waalid ka sahara lekar naam nahin banana chahteen, balkay apnay talent kay bal per aagay barhnay ki khawahish rakkhti hain, guzishta dinon hum nay moomal sheikh say aik mulaqat ki jiss mein unhon nay saadgi kaay saath intinahyee khoobsoorat guftugu ki, jo paish e khidmat hai

Q:  showbiz mein kesay aanay huwa, kahin waalid sahib to iss field mein aanay per raazi nahin kiya

MS:na hi abu nay kaha na hi mein nay kabhi socha tha showbiz field join karon gi lekin qismat phhir bhi iss taraf lay aayee. Mujhay log shakal o soorat ki wajah say aksar kaha kartay thay kay mein modeling karoon lekin mein nay kabhi iss baat per tawajah nahin dee thi. Taahu shadi kay baad showbiz join karnay ki umang dil mein jaagi to mein nay apnay shohar sey ijaazat maangi unhon nay razamandi ka izhaar kar diya yoon mein nay kaam ka baqayeda aaghaz kar diya. Isliye naa is mein abu ka israr huwa na hi meri koi planning

Q: kaam apni salahyeton ki wajah say mila ya sheikh sahib ki wajah say hosla afzayee ki gayee

MS: mein shru mein camera kay samnay aanay mein jhijhak mehsoos karti thi aik program ki mezbani ki to yeh jhijhak aahista aahista kam huwi iss kay baad aik sitcom kiya iss mein meri adakari ko siraha gaya. Toon yeh silsila chal nikla. Abhi tak paanch telefilms, aik sitcom aur chhay serials kay ilawa mutadid modeling assignments kar chuki hoon. Aur yeh sab kaam sirf mujhay khud apni wajah say mila hai. Baray baray funkaron kay bachay is field mein sirf isliye nakaam ho jaatay hain kay unhain apni salaheyton say zyada apnay waledain kay taluqat per bharosa hota hai to is silsilay mein yehi kahon gi, screen per kissi say kuchh chhpa nahin reh sakta , aap jo bhi hain sab ko nazar aa jaata hai. Isliye yeh kehna ghalat ho gaa kay yahan kisi taaluq kayliye koi kissi ki hosla afzayee karta hai. Mujhey khud yeh soch kar achha lagta hai kay meray waalid ki is field mein izzat hai lekin kabhi unkay taaluqat ko istimal nahin kiya haan lekin log unki wajah sey izzat kartay hain.

Q: filmon mein kaam karnay kay hawalay say kiya iraday hain

MS: jahan tak filmon mien kaam karnay ki baat hai to mera filhal filmon mein kaam karnay ka irada nahin hai mustaqbil ka kuch keh nahin sakti. Kyonke mujhay laga hai ab kuchh behtar filmain ban-na shru huyee hain lekin jaisi routine mein ban rahi hain un mein kaam karnay ka mera hosla nahin hai.

Q: pasandida funkar konsay hain

MS: mein nay har aik kay kaam ko dekh kar kuchh na kuchh seekha hai . har funkar ki apni ahmiyat hoti hai . mein career kay iss mor per nahin hoon jahan kisi kay kaam per tanqeed kar sakoon kyonke abhi to mujhey bohat saara kaam seekhna aur aagay jaana hai. Isliye itnay bhi saathi iswaqt tv industry mein apni jaga bana chukay hain who qabil tareef hain aur dunya bhar mein hamaray tv kay funkaron ko siraha jata hai.

Q: aapkay nazdeek husan aur khobsorti kay mayar kiya hai

MS: insaan agar andar say khobsorat aur khush mizaj hai to meray nazdeek yehi asal khoobsorti hai. Aap ka chehra aur husan jitna qudrat kay qareeb ho ga utna hi aap haseen hon gay, mein nay logon ko haseen honay ki khwahish mein paaglon ki tarah koshishain kartay dekha hai lekin mera yaqeen hai khuda nay hum sab ko hi khoobsorat banaya hai isliye agar zaahir ki bajaye baatin ko chamkayen to zyadah behtri aa sakti hai.

Q: doosron ki shakhsiyat mein kis cheez say mutaasir hoti hain

MS: achhi guftugo muhay mutaasir karti hai. Zahanat aur aqal saamnay waalay ki guftugu say hi zaahir hoti hai

Q: aayenah dekhnay kay baad aik soch jo hamesha aati ho

MS: yehi soch aati hai kay khuda nay achhi shakal o soorat di hai

Q: kiya is sach ko jhutlaya jaa sakta hai kay Pakistan ki faishon , tv ya fashion industry per Indian culture kay saaye hain

MS: bilkul sahih hai humari industry per Indian culture kay saaye hain. Mein khud is baat say mutafiq hoon. Hum unkay andaz mein pehan-nay, aurhnay aur jeenay ka andaz dikhanay mein fakhar mehsoos kartay hain , humaray gharon ka nizam bhi ussi siqafat say mutaasir hota jar aha hai. Bohat say channels to chal hi issi agenday per rahay hain kay pata hi nahin chalta kay kahan say humari had khatam hoti hai aur unki shru ho jaati hai, lekin sirf bura kaam nahin ho raha hai, hum bohat sanjeeda naweeyat kay takhliqi dramay bhi bana rahay hain to woh logon ko yaad reh jaatay hain. Humain yeh yaad rakhna ho ga kay hum Pakistani hain, humari pehchan alag hai jisay Indian culture mein zam karnay mein jumain khatra hai

Q: dunya kay funkar mukhtalif mulkon mein kaam kar rahay hain ,humaray funkar is moqa say fayeda nahin uthha patay. Is ki kiya wajah hai

MS: kyonke humaray haan funkaron ko yahan kaam hi nahin milta to who apnay aap ko kesay polish kar kay bayenul iqwami satah per mutaarif karwa saktay hain. Yeh aik sanjeeda masla hai jin logon nay yahan behtreen kaam kiya, unhon nay baahir bhi apna aap manwa liya. Humaray paas bohat si aisi roshan masalin bhi hain. Isliye humain sanjeedgi say yahan mowaqeh peda karnay ki zaroorat hai. Takay hum bayenul iqwami satah per apnay funkaron ko mutaarif karwa sakain

Q: apni zindagi ki kamyabi kiya samjhti hain

MS: mein abhi uss manzil say door hon jahan mein yeh keh sakoon kay mein kamyab ho gayee hoonk kamyabi kay hasool kayliye koshaN hoon

Q: kiya humaray funkaro kay liye training academy ki zaroorat hai

MS: bilkul bohat zyada zaroorat hai, kyonke dunya bhar mein funkar training kay zariye apni khamiyon per qabu paa letay hain  humain bhi jald ya badair aisay idaray banana parain gay. Is kaam mein taakheer ki wajah say humara bohat saara talent zaaya ho raha hai

Q: aapkay waalid apki mashwaron yaah tanqeed say nawaztay hain yaa nahin

MS: meray waalid sahib kabhi bhi meray kaam per asar andaaz nahin hotay. Mujhey abhi tak jitna bhi kam mila hai apnay talent kay bal botay per mila hai. Mera bhai aur mein jo bhi kar rahay hain apni madad aap kay tehat kar rahay hain. Abu nay kabhi kisi kay paas ja kar humaray liye sifarish nahin ki aur na hi who sifarish per yaqeen rakhtay hain unka kehna kay talent ko sifarish ki zaroorat nahin hoti. Jahan tak acting tips ki baat hai to unhon nay kabhi acting tips nahin deen haan meri waalida mera aur meray bhai kaa kaam ghor say dekhti hai aur batati bhi hain kay kahan behtari ki jaa sakti hai aur mazeed behtari kesay mumkin hai. Sab jaantay hain meray waalid aik bohat hi manjhay huway funkar hain is hawalay say dekha jaye to hum donon behan bhaiyon say kuchh ghair maamoli perform karnay ki tawaqa ki jaati hai . yoon hur assignment humaray liye aik imtihan hoti hai hum apnay waalik kay paye kay adakar to shayed na bun sakain lekin unkay bachay honay kay naatay hum per aik bhaari zimadari aayed hoti hai . baaqii jitna bhi kaam mil raha hai poori lagan aur mehnat kay saath kar rahi hoon

Q: shohar ki taraf say kabhi pabandi kaa saamna karna para

MS: kabhi bhi nahin, koi bhi orat shohar kay tuawun kay baghair ghar say baahir kaam nahin kar sakti, mein nay jesay pehlay hi bataya kay mein kaam ka aaghaz shaadi kay baad kiya hai to zaahri baat hai kay shohar ki khoshi aur marzi kay saath mein is field mein hoon

Q: future planning kiya hai

MS: munfarid kaam karna chahti hoon. Apni shinakht banana hai. Abhi filmon mein kaam karnay kay hiwalay say koi irada nahin hai lekin agar mustaqbil mein achhay kaam ki offer hoyee to dekhon gi.

Interview content in roman urdu

Khoobsorat nain naqsh ki haamil basalayehat adakaara maya ali nay nihayat kam waqt mein apni salayehaton ka loha manwaya hai aur aaj taqreeban har doosray dramay mein yeh khoobsorat adakara nazar aati hai.

Maya ali nay nawai waqt ko diye gaye interview mein kaha kay mein nay apna pehla audition Pakistan television kay liye diya to nakaam ho gayee leikin is nakaami ko mein nay ser per sawaar nahin kiya aur musalsal kaam ki justuju mein lagi rahi jab jab jahan jahan moqa mila audition diya jab mera audition clear huwa to bay ikhtiyaar meri aankhain chhalak pareen then. Waledain raazi naa thay liekin unko aitmaat mein lekar aakhir kaar mana hi liya. Modeling bhi saath saath jaari rakhi lekin jab dramon mein kaam kbarhnay laga to modeling thori kam kar di.

Meri khosh qismati hai kay mujhey achi team kaay saath kaam karnay kaa moqa mila hai. Jahan tak filmon mein kaam karnay ki baat hai to mein zaroor karon gee lekin shirt yeh hai kay kirdaar mein adakaari dikhhnay ki bohat zyada gunjayesh mojood ho. Kirdaar ko sign kartay waqt jaldbaazi say kaam nahin leti.

Tamam zaroori amoor per tawajah denay kay baad kissi faislay per phanchti hoon aik sawal kaay jawab nay kahan kay hamaray tamam adakaa hi bohat acchay hain lekin sanam balcoh, ahsan khan aur faysal qureshi kaay sath kaam kary kay bohat accha lagta hai aur bohat kucch seekhnay ko milta hai.

Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahin (UBFN) is recently concluded serial, of HUM TV. It was applauded for its direction, story and acting. Recently Aamina Mufti writer of the drama has given an interview to Voice of America (VOA) and expressed her views on UBFN and her other writings and contemporary trends in drama writing. While we listen to actors and directors, most of the female writers of drama never appear on media especially television. The fans never hear the opinion of writer about the drama. But Aamina Mufti has appeared on VOA Urdu and talked quite openly on UBFN and current trends in drama writings.

As per Aamina, “No one has contacted her to writer another unique and different drama like UBFN. Demand of drama market is to write something spicy. Once there was repression of Dictator and now it is replaced by TV Channels”.

The interview is done by Madeeha Anwar. Here is the URL to listen to this very interesting half hour interview of Aamina Mufti.
