Suhaee Abro is on a tremendous high these days. She has just returned after attending international film festivals in Macau, Florence, Milan and the UK with the team of My Pure Land, a British film in Urdu that was UK’s official entry at the 2018 Oscars in the Foreign Film category. The film has won rave reviews as has Suhaee’s performance in the lead role of Nazo, a young woman from rural Sindh who picked up the gun to defend herself and other female family members and their land from usurpers.
At 24, Suhaee has accumulated an impressive body of work that would be the envy of many of her contemporaries. Film, television, stage — she has explored all three mediums of expression. Backed by extremely supportive parents — prominent writer and poet Attiya Dawood and well-known illustrator Khuda Bux Abro — Suhaee has blossomed into a versatile dancer and actor.
My Pure Land is just one of the myriad projects Suhaee has been involved in, especially over the last two years. She has played the lead role in two short films — Nameless, which won an award for the best short film at the recent Asian Peace Film Festival, and the yet-to-be released, Peela, shot by a US-based director Jeshua De Hort

Suhaee Abro - one who must dance
What has it been like learning dance in Pakistan?
Learning dance in Pakistan wasn't as tough for me as it could become for many other young children or even adults. My parents were open to the idea. The only issues I faced were: every time I would dress in a shalwar kameez and dupatta for my class and take a notebook along my neighbours would say, ‘Mashallah she's going for her Quran class’ and my mother would say, ‘No, she's going for dance class’. These people would look at us with so much hatred.
Or, if we had to tell the doctors when I had muscle pains, bruises or any minor injuries dancing or doing yoga, that was also difficult. Once a doctor told my mother, ‘How could you let your daughter get into the red light area activities.’ We were both shocked. I was too young to understand the whole concept behind dance in Pakistan but I had to learn very early on in life.
I lost a huge part of my childhood, missing Eid Milan Parties or birthday parties because rehearsals, performances and shoots would take up my time – I started performing at an early age – but I don't regret it. Also, I could only discuss my passion for wanting to learn more and more about dance with my teacher and my family. They would try to provide me with books
