Time ripe for women to start speaking up irrespective of odds, Urwa says

Udaari actor talks about social issues and more

Hit TV serial Udaari  has proved immensely popular with the audience. Moreover, the drama has received critical acclaim for its compelling premise.

The Express Tribune went live with Udaari actor Urwa Hocane on Tuesday and discussed the importance of the drama and talking about social taboos like child abuse and rape. "I felt that I am meant to be a part of the change. It is very important to talk about the taboos and the complexes this society possesses," Urwa shared.

On the current mindset of people with respect to being called a miraasi, she said, "I want to change the mindset of people. Bushra jee told me that the word miraasi comes from miraas. You should be proud of it rather than feel horrible about it."

She further shared how it is essential for women to step up and talk about issues that were not being highlighted. "Its about time for women to talk about this. I think Udaari has brought a change. The people who wanted to ban it couldn't because of the people who wanted the drama to bring about a change. Girls don't speak about such things. I am probably destined to change that mindset."

Urwa also spoke about how people tend to dwell on problems rather than finding solutions. She feels Udaari has absolutely helped in presenting a solution to the existing issue. Urwa talked about negative criticism saying, "I don't feel like there are as many haters. I am in a happy zone."



On getting married to Farhan, Urwa said, "This is the most cliched question everyone asks and is worried about except for us. We are both busy doing some great work for you guys. Let us get done with all of that and we will talk about it."

She shared how Mawra and her can sit over endless cups of chai for hours and talk about literally everything.  "I cannot operate without Mawra," the actor said.

She also gave out a message for her fans saying, "A special message would be for the girls, I want girls to follow their dreams. Don't judge people. Rather, you should put the spotlight on yourself to become a better person and you'll see how far that takes you."
