Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi


haha acha yeh baat hai.
Like i mean i get why people may have some reservations about their daughter taking part in a profession (i.e. singing/modelling in a glamour world) but you can always warn her about it and im sure she would be logical not to do anything which compromises her beliefs. Not everyone sells out and not everyone is plunged into a life of darkness. Not even all singing genres are the same.
why is it that the female must change all her ways just to do something simple like sing? Surely modelling must be a risky profession for both guys and girls as both are at risk of exploitation. So does that mean both should be banned, can't steps be taken to make it safer for girls/guys?

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

You don’t even have to feature the female in the video. it can just be scenery or monuments in the background .

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

You seem as confused as the OP. She is not talking about "right of a woman", she is talking about parental *choices, encouragement, decision and opinion for their children, *presumably of an age where they are still under the parental control. Perhaps OP should take a leaf out of "most constitutions of the world" and live and let others live and respect personal opinions, life choices of others and stop enforcing her views on others.

Why should parents bother explaining and justifying their parental choices and methods to her? If they don't want to send their children to singing classes then they don't. Their children, their choice.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

i'm not going to argue with you regarding why there is nothing wrong with letting your child(boy or girl) become a singer or even a lingerie model. lingerie models have parents too, who are proud of their children. but i guess you do not consider them sane people.

because these parental choices and the reasons behind these choices are going to shape the future of your children(and their thought process) and hence the future of the society about which OP is so worried and cares enough to ask questions which let us all think about the prevailing situation and realize what is going on.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

Keep you assumptions to yourself. That's exactly the kind of bigotry and extremism I was talking about. Just because someone doesn't say yes to your yes, you start your desperate assumptions and accusation. What other parents to do for their children is none of my concern, what I as a parent do for my child should be no one's concern either.

FYI, I have some extremely close successful friends in Pakistan Fashion industry. I'm personally a stakeholder in that field. But do I want my children to step into the field or do my friends want their children to step into that world is a totally different matter. Its a very private matter and it's matter that's essentially no one's business.

It's all subjective! And sorry, whatever you've written here is not part of "most world's constitutions". If the OP or anyone for that matter wants to pain a better society, they should stat off by respecting other's opinions and personal choices. We are free people, we live in free countries no one has to explain and justfy and inform about our private decisions anyone. Children too can make their own decisions when they reach a certain age. So far most posters have expressed their opinions why they wouldn't encourage **their **children **towards a particular thing, so respect their opinions and move on.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

Do you really believe this is what all religious people are like? If I were to go just by numbers, I’d say that the amount of times I hear of Muslims doing something like this, I’ve heard of at least as many musicians/singers dying from drug overdoses and the like.

If I wanted my kids to bring people together and closer to being better people, I’d encourage them to learn from people I’ve already seen accomplishing this type of thing in my generation, a good part of which happen to be ulema.

I’m against the idea of allowing my daughters to sing as a profession because I’m of the opinion that she shouldn’t use her voice (or beauty/charm for that matter) for the entertainment of non mehram men. Either way, :insh: it’ll never be an issue for me. Her mom is even more strict than I am.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

I don't see the OP doing anything other than asking questions and offering her opinion. Agree with the "move on" part. Her detractors do need to move on. And not make it so personal, IMHO.

72

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

you have a knack for name calling. and you're a stake holder in an industry which you do not think is fit for your children to join. you're only proving my assumptions to be correct. i better move on.

73

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

WTH LOL.

Of cousre its not fit for "children" to join. I certainly wasn't a child when I got into contact with it.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

If the industry is so bad, which in Pakistan is pretty much not... since they're so conservative overall anyway, then why do you have stakes in it? If it's so devoid of morals that you wouldn't let your kid go into it, then why fund others' kids going into it (every adult seductive 25 year old singer has parents too, I'm sure).

I don't see what the big deal is. In the US, yes, there is a lot of crap that goes on. You go to some manager, they tell you there is a job waiting for you, go here and here, and you show up, and it's actually a porn shoot - that's not unheard of happening. However, you have the CHOICE to not engage, rarely do you get into a situation where you're forced like maybe Lovelace was as she later admitted in her second book. But those are dysfunctional situations to begin with, not the norm.

And it's up to an individual correct? If you are approached by a sleezebucket who is trying to make a fast buck on you, you CAN say no. Most of the singers out there right now, are making their own music, putting it up on sound cloud or vimeo or something, and self-promoting themselves electronically. They're not even being managed in Pakistan because there is no culture of managers/promoters. And few people have their own production studios to which you can always send a demo and see if they're interested in working with you.

I'd love to hear the stories about how Pakistani women trying to make it into music got abused and screwed up along the way, I'm sure there would be stories rampant of it in the media, but you hear minimal stuff like this. At least I never heard of such a story.

And no, I'm not just a die hard follower of certain people who made it big, I keep scanning the net for raw talent all the time, and I'm telling you, responsible kids who are making their own music and experimenting are harmlessly putting it on the internet. That's how Jal actually started before they made it big, one demo online and it blew up. I remember finding their original website newly placed on the net before anyone had heard of them, and I had posted their stuff here. :)

So, where there is a will, there is a way, and Pakistani media may have it's drawbacks, and it might not be the most professional place to work, but no one is telling anyone to open their legs, and if they are, only if women LET them, they will get away with it.

As for the kinds of clothes Hadiqa wore in that video when she tried to recreate herself, who cares, it's not that bad. Women wear far worse, and she's pretty much covered. Stylish, yes, but she is covered.

And finally, what I don't understand is the hypocrisy of not letting your daughter into this business, yet we line up in Pakistan and abroad to see Indian movies, and we give India a lot of business in the process, and do not watch our own TV for the very reason that we don't have as much talent on our television. Why not? Because what talent is born, we are hesitant to let it grow, lest we become non-muslims, and yet we shower our finances on non-muslim women gyrating across the border. If anything, I'd say Indian movies have become deplorable, we should stop watching those.

For the ones who wont let their daughters into the Pakistani industry, are you guys watching Indian movies?

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

^ hey, hey, how dare you call Indian movies deplorable? Stop being EXTREMIST.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

Nazia Hassan was in 1980s, times have changed now. "If someone wants to they can sing and stay away from glitzy, glamour world. Not everyone falls prey to it." That's what everyone says.

And PCG still doesn't reply to a simple question about Lingerie modelling.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

I wouldn't encourage singing/acting.

It's not so much the singing that bothers most people but the lateral issues that come with it during these 'new' times.

Besides, only a very small % of kids are going to have that kind of talent and even then it's not guaranteed. It's an industry taint to the core in all areas.

Re: Beti Singer Bani Gi

There are a lot things happening in Pakistani showbiz which you are clearly not aware of just use Google/Bing to find some answers. The seductive 25 year old's singer may have pretty broken their relationships with their parents for trying to look less conservative.

I'll have what you're smoking.
