It wasn’t an overnight success for Mehwish Hayat. She worked hard to achieve her the honor bestowed upon her by the Pakistan today. Mehwish’s Medal of Excellence is well deserved and earned with her sheer dedication and hard work.
Hayat’s is a name that will definitely be written in gold when one talks about the revival of Pakistani film industry. Mehwish Hayat has been a part of some of the biggest grossers of Pakistani cinema, playing powerful roles in her films and not portraying women as eye candies as most females are restricted in films.
“An eight year old girl went to the PTV studios holding her mother’s hand tightly. She was totally clueless about all the hustle and bustle going on around her. But she was equally fascinated by the lights, the cameras and the way in which everybody was hard at work including her mother who was an actress,” wrote Mehwish on her Instagram.
Stating how she was still fascinated by the world of television and film and humbled to be receiving the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, Mehwish further added, “At heart she remains that simple little girl from Karachi who has been fortunate to live her dreams. Her journey from that PTV studio to the Awan-e-sadr has been a long one and by no means the easiest. But never in her wildest dreams did she see this recognition coming at such a tender age. Nor did she see the role she would go on to play in the revival of Pakistani Cinema and her contribution being acknowledged in this way…!”
“Thank you to the Government of Pakistan and the President for bestowing this honour upon me and making the dream of that little girl come true. Today, I share this with all the other girls in Pakistan who have a dream, to them I simply say, “Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams turn into reality,” added Mehwish thanking her friends, family and co-workers who stood beside her and championed her achievements over time.
