Be proud of your daughters: The ad that's got everyone in tears

More power to our women!

More power to our women!

Grab a tissue because this ad is guaranteed to make you cry.

In our part of the world, it's never easy to pursue a career which doesn't conform to a patriarchal society's self-imposed rules governing what women can and can't do. And that's exactly what QMobile's latest ad sets out to challenge.

The story is about a young woman who wants to be a cricketer. Unsurprisingly, her father isn't supportive but that doesn't stop her from trying to fulfill her dream.

What happens next is a lesson for not just all parents but also young people -- girls as well as boys -- who feel pressured at various stages in life; from taking courses in school and college because that's what their mother and father want to study or taking up a particular job because that's what they're "supposed" to do.

Ahmad Butt | 7 years ago | Reply Watching this you have to grab a tissue not on the concept given in this ad but on the fact where our society is going. There is nothing at all in the ad to get emotional about. It is simply a social & cultural invasion to contribute towards disbalancing a society which has already sold/lost its values.
