Most celebrities are stereotyped as individuals who let go of their studies to pursue their careers in the entertainment industry. Especially singers, who have to take music lessons and dedicate most of their time to practicing and perfecting their skills. These Pakistani female singers, however, hold a graduate degree and still managed to become famous musicians.
When it comes to girls’ education, our country lacks proper resources. Even if those resources were available, it’s not unusual for these girls to be married off soon in a desi society as ours.
But as they say, where there’s a will, there’s definitely a way/ These Pakistani celebrities are good role models for girls, who not only completed their education but also became independent and successful ladies.
