Dur-e-Fishan says she did not face harassment in industry

Dur-e-Fishan opens up about harassment she faced in industry

LAHORE (Web Desk) - Pakistan actor Dur-e-Fishan reveals that she has never faced harassment during shoots and believes that the showbiz has become much safer for women over the past few years. 

In an interview, she said she liked to work in one drama at a time and "the script first goes through her mother". However, Dur-e-Fishan said the script of “Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi” didn’t reach her mother.

The “Bharaas” actor revealed that she belonged to a conservative family where there were restrictions on watching television and using mobile phone. “I didn’t have a cellphone till I completed my A-levels,” she said. 

Answering a question, she said her parents did not want her to join the showbiz because it was instilled in their minds that the women were harassed. “However, I say it honestly that during the past two years, I did not feel harassment,” she added. According to the actor, one of the reasons for not encountering any unpleasant incident could be that she worked with big production houses and actors who always looked after her.

Dur-e-Fishan also praised singer Meesha Shafi for raising voice against harassment, and she believes it to be a primary reason behind the showbiz industry becoming safer for women actors. “Now every person is scared, they know their limits,” she added.
