Areej Chaudhry, who holds the title of Miss Pakistan-2020 and portrayed the character of Zolzai, a Pakistani agent in the film "Dhai Chaal," recently shared her insights in an exclusive interview with "Pakistan State Time." During a special screening of the thriller at a local cinema for underprivileged and orphan children, Areej discussed her experience.
Encouraging the youth, especially girls, she urged them to watch the movie and draw inspiration from its characters, which are based on real-life individuals and events. These characters represent those who work behind the scenes, serving the nation by safeguarding its territorial integrity and frontiers.
Further Areej Said that “Balochistan and Pakistan have been portrayed negatively by India at all foras through its propaganda movies. As contestant at beauty pageants the world over, I faced many questions about my country being alleged as a terrorist state but I always used to fight back those accusations with all my rigour and patriotic spirit. However, this movie has been a blessing in disguise for me as it not only helped me hone my skills and test my mettle but rather, gave me an opportunity to serve my country by protecting its ideology and restoring its positive image through my artistic work,” she said.
Actress added that, “I would like to give this message to all the Pakistani girls to be strong and believe in themselves while pursuing challenging tasks. Every girl must have basic self-defense technique or at least have some know-how to protect themselves in hostile situation. They should know how to drive a car and even use firearms.”
