The Faiz Festival held in Lahore on Sunday brought together a number of stars in celebration of literature and art. Indian filmmaker and actor Nandita Das flew to attend the event, marking her return to the city after five years. In a carousel shared by Amar Khan on Instagram Monday, Nandita posed together with Amar, Samiya Mumtaz, and Nadia Jamil.
"There are days when I feel absolutely blessed and lucky to be in the company of the greats - powerhouse artists and the purest of souls. This night was all about music, poetry, and Faiz," Amar wrote, expressing her deep admiration for the artists she posted photos with.
Even Nadia Jamil reflected on the night as she shared a collection of photos with "soul sister" Nandita on Instagram. "What a fun, love-filled day of catching up and connecting. Time flowed effortlessly. I realised I need to find a way to go to India to meet my loved ones more often!" she wrote.
"Some relationships and people are too precious. From khussas to trying on Kabuli jewellery to matching outfits, and homemade food, lemongrass tea, meeting the kids and listening to their life stories, and Nuri's singing. Not enough time. I wish we lived closer. Love you, beautiful friend," she concluded.
The Faiz Festival also invited the support of notable artists, such as Usman Peerzada, Samina Peerzada, and Atul Tiwari. In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Nandita expressed her enthusiasm at attending an event that brings together artists from both sides of the border, "Art and artists can heal and build bridges even when there are deep wounds and opaque walls."
Followers were in awe of the surprise meetup, expressing fondness for each actor in the comments section. "So much talent in a single frame!" a user enthused, whereas others noted that the photo was brimming with power and beauty.
