´´:Nandita Das´s Pakistani Film Premiers At Osian´s-Cinefan

Critically acclaimed actress Nandita Das is upbeat about her first Pakistani film that premieres at the ongoing Osian’s-Cinefan film festival and hopes many more Indian and Pakistani actors work together in future.

“I won’t call this my first Pakistani venture as I have done a Pakistani music video before which is in fact my only music video till date,” says Nandita in an interview.

‘Ramchand Pakistani’ is about an eight-year-old Hindu boy from Pakistan who accidentally crosses over into India. His father also follows him and both are imprisoned for five years.

Nandita plays Champa, the eight-year-old’s mother, who is suddenly left alone.

“I did this film because it spoke of an issue. Accidental border crossing happens and this film talks heavily about the emotions that the mother goes through and how hard she tries to come to terms with being alone. Also, the director Mehreen Jabbar is a close friend of mine,” she said.

‘Ramchand Pakistani’ is primarily an Urdu film and Nandita is the only non-Pakistani actor in a star cast comprising well-known Pakistani TV and stage personalities like Rashid Farooqi, Maria Wasti and Farooq Pario.

“I have done films in 10 different languages including four in Tamil. It is interesting that India itself is so diverse in terms of languages that when you go out of the country, you think of it being the same. Besides, for most of the time in the film I was wearing a ghaghra (long skirt) and choli (top) with white plastic bangles till my arm just the way it is done in Rajasthan. I wore a similar look for my Hindi film ‘Bawander’ sometime back. So you really can’t say what’s yours and what isn’t. It was a really interesting experience,” Nandita explained.

The film premieres at the 10th Osian’s-Cinefan Film Festival of Asian and Arab cinema Saturday.

Sania Mirza may not have come into this world with a racket in her hand, but it didn’t take long for the tennis phenomenon to pick one up. Born on November 15, 1986, in Mumbai, India, Sania was encouraged to start playing the sport at the age of 6. “I used to go swimming and passed the tennis courts every day,” she recalls, “and that’s how it started. My mum said ‘Why don’t you play tennis in your summer holidays because you have nothing to do except swim for an hour or whatever?’, and that’s how I started playing.”
Getting her career on track was another matter altogether. “My mother took me to a coach, who initially refused to coach me because I was too small,” says Mirza. “After a month, he called my parents to say he’d never seen a player that good at such a young age.”
Encouraged by the coach’s assessment, Sania continued to train long and hard while her peers enjoyed more frivolous pursuits. In retrospect, she realizes she may have missed out on having a regular childhood, but doesn’t regret it for a moment. “I realized that if you don’t make those sacrifices, I don’t think you can make something out of your life,” she says. “Sometimes I did feel I was missing out, like sometimes I’d want to go to a birthday party but I couldn’t because I had tennis.” Fortunately, Sania’s remarkable focus and determination paid off.
