Two enriching stories
Zee Theatre has offered more than 80 famous teleplays across genres and languages. The network has now added two international plays to their current line-up, Jhaanjhar Di Paanwan Chhankaar and Mushk.
Jhaanjhar Di Paanwan Chhankaar is based on a visually impaired man, who chooses to live away from his over-protective mother. The play addresses how society responds to individuals with disabilities, be it physical or emotional, and regards them as pariahs. The play stars Sarmad Khoosat, Samiya Mumtaz, Zain Afzal, Iman Shahid and is directed by Kanwal Khoosat.
“It was an enriching experience to collaborate with Zee Theatre on this play because of the strong message it packs. Performing in dual roles allowed me to explore the sensitive story and its characters,” says Sarmad Khoosat.
About Mushk, the play is directed by Kanwal Khoosat and stars two of the most versatile actors from across the border, Sania Saeed and Nimra Bucha. It tells the story of a reclusive genius writer and a journalist who visits her house to conduct an interview. Their interaction reveals a complex pattern in an apparently simple melody. “The allure of Mushk lies in its complex and delicately woven plot along with strong performances by Nimra and Sania,” said Kanwal Khoosat.
