Earlier this year we reported that veteran actress and social activist Nadia Jamil was all set to return to the small screen after a hiatus of two years with a drama serial, titled Damsa.
The actress last appeared on the small screen in Mujhay Jeenay Do (2017) which tackled the issue of child marriages. Now Nadia Jamil will be seen in Damsa, a socially relevant play that deals with the subject of child trafficking. Written by Asma Nabeel of Khaani fame and directed by Najaf Bilgrami, the drama is produced under Showcase Productions. The upcoming drama’s teasers came out recently and show the traumatic story of a mother, Areeja, who is a nurse by profession, and how her world turns upside down when her daughter, Damsa, (played by Emaan Khan) falls victim to child trafficking. Apart from Nadia, the drama features Shahood Alvi as Areeja’s husband and Saleem Mairaj who portrays the heartless member of a child trafficking ring.
The teasers show that Areeja’s daughter is kidnapped right in front of her eyes. It highlights the misery of a mother who has lost her child along with glimpses of the kind of abuse and torture Damsa has to go through after she’s abducted and forced into beggary.
While the teasers have left us intrigued, we can’t wait to see what the upcoming project has to offer.
