Say No To Child Abuse !— Ariba Jalbani (@AribaJB) September 25, 2016
Famous Pakistani celebrities such as Naveen Waqar, Adnan Malik, Mira Sethi and others came out in support of Udaari. Watch their high on spirit videos below:
This is what Ahsan Khan had to say about his role: “Momina approached me saying there’s a negative character and we have Pakistan’s top actors lined up for this role, but your name is on the top of the list.”
“I was very excited because it was for a certain cause. When you have a cause attached to the role you see it with a different angle not just for popularity. You view it as a certain duty.”
He revealed how his wife was against him playing the role: “It’s normal for people get a bit judgmental, my wife was a bit concerned about my security, but I eventually managed to convince her.”
About Kashf Foundation
Kashf Foundation has been working for the economic and social empowerment of women for the past two decades. It believes that Udaari can play a major role in educating people about women’s issues and will encourage them to think about these issues in a more objective and sensitized manner. Kashf’s social programming has included public service campaigns comprising social theatre, trainings, and TV dramas to change social attitudes and cultural biases that hinder women and girls from contributing to the economy.
