Kinza Hashmi Calls for Practical Safety Measures

Speaking about the challenges faced by women and girls, Kinza said that troubling incidents continue to emerge and stressed the need for stronger legal measures that can help women feel safer.

She suggested installing cameras in different public areas and proposed a dedicated emergency helpline for women. According to her suggestion, calls made during emergencies should receive an immediate response so that assistance can reach those in need quickly.

Kinza also highlighted the role of schools in protecting children. She suggested that cameras should be installed in educational institutions and that parents should have access to the footage, allowing them to remain aware of their children’s safety while they are at school.

Her Connection With Karachi

Although Kinza Hashmi comes from Punjab, she has developed a special appreciation for Karachi through her professional journey.

The actress said that Karachi and its people gave her a warm welcome and that her experience of the city turned out to be better than she had expected. Her work in Karachi has also coincided with a broader expansion of her career, as she has moved from television into films.

Kinza Hashmi Steps Further Into Film

Kinza will next be seen in Shehroze, which is scheduled to release in cinemas on October 2.

In the anthology, she will portray an innocent artist, with the story exploring some of the difficulties encountered by an artist. The role gives Kinza another opportunity to explore a character within a cinematic setting.

The actress also revealed that she has two additional films coming after Shehroze, indicating that her film career is continuing to develop alongside her television work.

Taking Pakistani Stories Beyond Borders

Kinza believes Pakistani storytelling has considerable potential for international audiences. She pointed to the popularity of Pakistani dramas in different parts of the world and expressed hope that cinema can achieve a similar reach.

For the actress, producing more films could provide an opportunity to take local stories to international viewers. She believes Pakistan has plenty of stories that can be explored through cinema and presented to audiences beyond the country.

With Shehroze set for its theatrical release and more films ahead, Kinza Hashmi is entering an increasingly prominent phase of her film career. Her recent comments also bring attention to the wider conversation around creating safer environments for women and children in Pakistan.
