Aaaah, thank you @loreal for bringing together such amazing and inspiring women. Each one pumping the other, patting each other on the back. Time and again I realize that we all are the same.. discussing our children, our lives, careers, our vulnerabilities.. and its these shared experiences that make us feel like we are all in this together. And together we are stronger! Was so proud to represent my country at this platform.

Imagine not having an identity, imagine feeling invisible, not having a place you can call home.. being a displaced person. The plight of refugees is indescribable. Pakistan has been doing its part and has set an example for the world by welcoming refugees for nearly four decades. This is a humanitarian cause and we all must do our part in raising awareness and doing whatever we can in sharing the responsibility of refugees around the world 🙏🏼 @refugees @unhcrpakistan @unitednations

So the cat is out of the bag. I have been humbled by the news that the President of Pakistan will bestow me with the tamgha – e – Imtiaz. (Medal of Excellence) on Pakistan day . 🎖 One never expects this sort of recognition but I am most flattered that the powers that be decided my contribution to Pakistani Cinema worthy of such a prestigious civil honour. I made a conscious decision early on in my career to remain in Pakistan and to build up our own cinema and I have MashaAllah been blessed with 6 of the biggest hits in the recent years. From Billi to Meeru in loadwedding, my God it has been one hell of a journey ! When I travel globally my heart swells with pride when I am referred to as “Pakistani Actress, Mehwish Hayat”. My country is my identity and I will do whatever I can to not let it down. I look at others before me who have received this prestigious award – greats of our industry – and am honoured to be following in their footsteps. This is a major milestone in my life and I am blessed to have achieved it at such a young age. Hard work always pays off and it just goes to show that dreams do come true. I would like to thank all my colleagues, my family, and the fans without whom this would never have been possible .❤️ it doesn’t get any better than this! 🙏😇 #MehwishHayat #tamghaeimtiaz #PakistanDay 🇵🇰#gratitude #Blessed

Every child deserves a proper upbringing. They should be at school getting educated not having to work. Let’s make sure we don’t take away their precious childhoods. These young minds have to be nurtured as they’re the future of Pakistan ! 🇵🇰 #MehwishHayat #MinistryofHumanrights #Goodwillambassador #saynotochildlabour❌ #PakistanZindabad
