While children are the light in most people’s lives, many forget the responsibilities of parenting. Actress Hira Mani is one such example, of a parent that took her child to see the R-rated movie Joker.
While Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is a phenomenal film, it’s been rated R for a reason. Unfortunately in Pakistan, most parents don’t have any regard for film and video game ratings, with most children under 18 playing Grand Theft Auto and watching rated R films.
Is Hira Mani right or wrong here?
Pagli actress Hira Mani is no exception. Recently the actress’ son Muzammil Salman Shaikh, talked about his experience of watching Joker in an interview. The child talked about how the film left an impact on him.
