“I am an actor and did not know much about literature, but it certainly has a great part to play in our lives. Since my autobiography "Anything but Khamosh" was published, I got many invitations for the literature festival, most of which I failed to attend. Still, I decided to join you here for the love of literature. I must mention here my experience in Pakistan, where I got a bit confused about choosing language where I thought about the importance of literature. Literature is a mirror of society that shows the right path. This literature inspires the next generation. It is a fake news era where we need motivating literature to show true stories. I would certainly like to participate in such future events.”
