The lady who made up childhood memories of the masses of Pakistan is no more with us. The actress madam Nusrat Ara Begum who was famously known as ‘Bil Batori’ of PTV classic Ainak Wala Jin lived the miserable life. In her recent heart-breaking interview with PTV available on YouTube, she said, the producers and directors who once made her life; ruined it. They ruined because she was uneducated and poor, she added.
I am truly down after knowing that madam lived, last years of her life, on Data Darbar for getting food. She was suffering from skin diseases and she was also unable to pay utility bills of her home. Although she called upon many times for help but no one helped.
Madam’s interview has revealed the insincerity of directors and producers . I request all of them ‘directors and producers’ not to do same again with anyone else. Additionally, I appeal government of Pakistan to create the ‘artists welfare fund’ that should be provided to artists in later stages of life.
