The media industry does not have a lot of representation from differently-abled people in Pakistan. You’ll see actors getting the roles of visually-impaired characters like the one in Mein Na Janoo\u00a0<\/strong>but those roles never go to someone who genuinely knows what life is for a differently-abled person in Pakistan. But slowly and surely, this trend is undergoing a shift.<\/p>\n

Despite these issues, there are some souls who don’t let their disability come in the way of their greatness. Like MK Anwar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MK Anwar is a Pakistani rapper who busted all stereotypes and is pursuing his dreams of becoming a well-known rapper regardless of his visual-impairment. He has worked rigorously to achieve his goals.<\/p>\n

I remember going up to different platforms relentlessly, asking them for a shot by showing them what I had written. Being short on financial resources I wanted that somehow I get a sponsor on board to get my material released.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, after getting rejected every time Anwar was on the verge of giving up and letting go of his dreams. At that moment, the rapper took a piece of devastating news and turned it into self-encouragement to work harder and more religiously towards his goals.<\/p>\n

I was almost on the verge of giving up. Then in 2017, I found out that my eyesight disease that had already rendered me with 2% vision could eventually deteriorate into full blindness. At that point I realised that it\u2019s high time I get up and follow my dreams because I don\u2019t know the person I\u2019ll become if I completely lose my vision.<\/p>\n

After appearing on a show hosted by Zarrar Khurro, the talented artist received several messages filled with love and support. Sometime later he shared his first single School Kee Kahani<\/strong> with the help of a producer.<\/p>\n

Even though it was a small segment on the show, I received several messages from people telling me that I was an inspiration to them. That made me try even harder and eventually I got connected with a producer with whom I recorded my first track\u00a0School kee kahani.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
