‘My Presidential award file has been pending for five years; they don’t notice me,’ says Fazila Qazi

Senior actress Fazila Qazi has complained that her file for the presidential award has been hanging for the past five years, but the awardees do not see her; someone else does.

She recently participated in ‘Hansana Muna Hai’ along with her husband, Qaiser Nizamani, where the two spoke candidly about various issues.

In response to a question, the two actors also questioned the procedure of the state awards, while Qaiser Nizamani thanked the state and the government for giving him the award.

“I was given the presidential award at a time when not everyone got an award, and artists received awards only because of their work,” said Nizamani.

He added, “I got the award because of the love for my work, family, and viewers,” and he also thanked the state of Pakistan.

Fazila Qazi agreed, saying, “There is no doubt that getting or receiving a presidential award is a great achievement, and one is proud of such awards.”

“Thankfully, my husband got the award at a time when such people were not getting awards,” she added.

She, however, had a lot more to contribute to the conversation.

“My file for the Presidential Award has also been lying there for the past five years,” she revealed.

She stated that “various persons, including TV channels, recommend individuals for other state awards, including presidential awards, and hence, files of such awards are created.

Fazila Qazi sarcastically complained, “Awardees and recommenders do not see me; someone else does.”

“We do not know who is sitting in the cabinet division, who the workers do not see, but they do not know who can see who,” she said.
