It has been 10 years since Pakistani actress Hareem Farooq entered the showbiz. During this time, he acted in several successful dramas and films, but he also worked as a producer in many of them.
Recently a drama ’22 Steps’ has started on Green Entertainment in which Hareem Farooq is playing the role of a girl who wants to become a cricketer.
In Pakistan, there are very few dramas about female athletes, so hearing about this untouched drama piqued my interest.
When Hareem came for this interview, the first question I asked was that it has been four years since her film and five years since her play, where did she stay absent for so long?
“Just four or five years have passed, the 22nd step has come, now we will go to the film and I will tell you about it.”
Hareem said that the idea of 22 steps was matured in the last days of the global epidemic of Corona and this drama was mirrored in 2021.
About the role of a cricketer, Hareem said: ‘As a society, we stand up to cheer for any player, but all of them go by their passion and dedication, and the public is made aware of their struggles. Don’t know about.
‘It happens a lot with female players. If we talk about women’s empowerment, it should be complete, showing a story on TV inspires people, how many kids have told me that they want to be athletes.’
According to Hareem Farooq, she was trained to play cricket regularly for 22 steps for two months and enjoyed bowling more, she was a bit weak in batting.
He says, ‘On the last day, I bowled the full 100 balls, and I was also told that you can play cricket, you should come here.’
Hareem further said that after continuous training in the sun and then reflecting on the play, one day her mother said to her, ‘What has happened to you, so I said it is the result of hard work.’
According to Hareem, during the drama 22 Kadam, he realized that focusing on the game is the most important thing, everything else is secondary.
About a woman cricketer quitting cricket recently, Hareem said that the 22 step has a message for women as well as men that they too have to change.

According to her, ‘In this country it is very difficult for a single girl to do anything, men understand this less, because there is less pressure on them, they don’t have the same obstacles that women face. are standing, so men have to understand, however I think this work cannot be done in a day, it will take time.’
He said that when he was preparing for this play, there were many girls with him who wanted to become cricketers. I was meant to be an actress, so she could feel it.
Wahaj Ali is working with Hareem in 22 Kadam, Hareem said about him that the roles of men in this play were only as assistants but Wahaj Ali never once objected to it and always helped. He did.
‘He (Wahaj Ali) has done his work with all his heart.’
Hareem said that now is the time that women are recognized as completely equal in the field of sports. The PCB was also approached in connection with this play and they provided a lot of help without which this work would not have been possible.’
Hareem Farooq said: ‘We as a society underestimate women, we think that they should get married and raise children, but they forget that women are working all over the world, and they do. , do more than one thing.’
