00:13:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:31 "There's an audition going on, you should go and try your luck."
00:13:36 They wanted to hire a new actor.
00:13:38 It was Ibn-e-Safi's script.
00:13:40 - I see. - Ibn-e-Safi was the one who wrote Imran series.
00:13:43 - Yes. - So, that...
00:13:45 He had a character, Zafr-ul-Mulk, who is a hero.
00:13:49 So, he wanted him.
00:13:50 So, I went and there were 40-50 guys there.
00:13:52 - Yes. - Who were auditioning.
00:13:54 Kamar Zaidi was the director, who made Salgeera and...
00:13:58 - Yes. - Yes.
00:13:59 So, what happened when it flopped?
00:14:00 - What? - You were selected for the first time.
00:14:03 - What happened when it flopped? - It flopped.
00:14:05 - It's okay. - Yes.
00:14:06 It flopped. I worked in the theatre.
00:14:08 - I see. - I joined the TV.
00:14:10 Then I did Shama, then...
00:14:12 I did Aage Hi, then Dund.
00:14:14 You said, "I'll change the track."
00:14:16 - Track. - You went for the drama.
00:14:18 - The punch line is... - Yes.
00:14:20 I kept doing it and I got another film in the middle.
00:14:24 It was called, Bibi Ho To Aisi.
00:14:27 - I see. - Shafi Muhammad was the hero.
00:14:29 - And Shabnam was again the heroine. - Heroine.
00:14:32 And they gave me a second role.
00:14:35 I said, "He's a flop actor, let's give him this role."
00:14:38 - Oh. - Second hero.
00:14:39 Yes.
00:14:40 - I did that. - Yes.
00:14:42 I did the shooting for five days.
00:14:44 - It was set in the studio. - Yes.
00:14:48 After five days of shooting, I went to the set on the sixth day.
00:14:51 They said, "Sir, you're not shooting today."
00:14:53 - "May God bless you." - Yes.
00:14:56 They said, "You came to the hotel in the evening."
00:14:58 "This is the room number."
00:14:59 "We're meeting you today."
00:15:01 I was nervous. May God bless me.
00:15:04 I reached the hotel in the evening.
00:15:06 I saw 10-15 people sitting there.
00:15:09 Smoking cigarettes.
00:15:11 They were sitting like this.
00:15:12 I stood up like a criminal.
00:15:16 It was like that.
00:15:17 And Nihal was a big shot.
00:15:20 He was a big shot.
00:15:22 He was sitting like this and I stood up.
00:15:25 The thing is that the film is being made...
00:15:29 The distributor of Lahore's popular films...
00:15:33 His name is Naseem Popular.
00:15:35 He sent us the film.
00:15:38 He asked us, "Which boy did you choose?"
00:15:42 "He's a flop actor. Get him out of the film."
00:15:44 - Oh my God. - Oh my God.
00:15:46 "Get him out of the film. I won't take the film."
00:15:48 And the hit was...
00:15:51 - Faisal Rahman. - Faisal Rahman.
00:15:53 Oh.
00:15:54 He was a hit because he had a film with Babra.
00:15:56 - Yes. - He said, "I want Faisal Rahman."
00:16:00 "Not Javed Sheikh."
00:16:01 "If you're hired, our film won't go to Punjab."
00:16:06 "We won't get the money."
00:16:08 - Oh God. - "So we have to cut you out from that."
00:16:10 And after five days, he got me out.
00:16:13 - Oh my God. - I cried and cried.
00:16:17 It was the right time.
00:16:19 A man says, "I'll commit suicide."
00:16:20 "Or do something bad."
00:16:22 - "Let's do it." - "Let's do it."
00:16:24 This is the trend of today's youth.
00:16:27 No problem.
00:16:28 God is great.
00:16:30 - My God. - God is great.
00:16:32 - I've never heard this. - Listen.
00:16:33 - No, there's another punchline. - Then?
00:16:36 He left me and Ankahi came.
00:16:40 - Yes. - Ankahi was a disaster.
00:16:42 - He was a disaster. - Absolutely.
00:16:43 So Ankahi came and I had a new hope.
00:16:48 - Satish Anand was making the film. - Yes.
00:16:52 I was with Nazar Shabab.
00:16:53 I never said goodbye.
00:16:55 Now again Shabnam.
00:16:56 And again.
00:16:58 Again. And this is a 10-year-long waqf.
00:17:02 - Yes. - That was 1974.
00:17:03 - This is 1984. - You were involved in your dramas.
00:17:05 - Yes, I was. - You said, "If not that, then this."
00:17:08 - I was. - Yes.
00:17:09 Now this film came and they said, "Let's try this."
00:17:12 "This boy is very popular."
00:17:14 "He's in the whole of Pakistan and India."
00:17:16 They made me a hero.
00:17:19 As soon as I became a hero, I made one, two, three films.
00:17:22 Five films. Five films were my super hits.
00:17:26 - Wow. - And I had every film of Pakistan.
00:17:30 That's Javed Sheikh.
00:17:32 Now I had my room in the Evernew studio.
00:17:36 - Yes. - I had every film.
00:17:38 Now the same producer, Zahid Shah, who was the director,
00:17:42 he went to the popular film maker,
00:17:45 "Sir, we're making a film called 'Choron Ka Dushpan'."
00:17:49 "Babra is the heroine and Faisal Rahman is the hero."
00:17:52 I said, "No, no, no."
00:17:53 "What happened?"
00:17:54 "Not Faisal Rahman."
00:17:56 "Who?"
00:17:57 "Javed Sheikh."
00:17:58 - The same guy. - The same guy.
00:17:59 - The same guy. - The same distributor.
00:18:01 - The same type of guy. - Yes, that's what I said.
00:18:03 He said, "No, Javed Sheikh. A film is impossible without him."
00:18:06 "Sir, we got him out so many years ago."
00:18:09 "It's okay. We'll apologize, we'll beg, we'll go."
00:18:12 - Oh, God. - And they came to my office.
00:18:15 In every studio.
00:18:16 Now I was sitting like this and they were standing like that.
00:18:20 This is a whole story.
00:18:22 - Huh? - This is a whole story.
00:18:25 - And the moral of it... - The good thing about it is
00:18:28 - that you treated them well. - Yes.
00:18:30 - Yes. - Because knowing you...
00:18:32 - This is because you didn't... - No, no, no.
00:18:34 - ...shame them. - No, no.
00:18:35 - Okay. - People told me to let them stand outside.
00:18:38 - I took them out. - You know, Hina...
00:18:40 I don't have a twist and turn story.
00:18:44 - Yes. - But I think...
00:18:46 I've always had this disease.
00:18:49 - Hmm. - That I'm very fiercely Pakistani.
00:18:52 - Yes. - Yes.
00:18:53 So the problem with me was that I didn't want to go abroad.
00:18:55 - Yes. - I didn't want to go and I didn't want to go.
00:18:57 To the extent... I was a good student.
00:19:00 So, when you did your O-Levels and then you're applying
00:19:04 in different colleges and universities.
00:19:06 We sent the applications.
00:19:08 Okay, they got approved and got admitted.
00:19:11 And I would say good universities abroad.
00:19:15 But one day I thought
00:19:17 that if I leave Pakistan
00:19:20 - then I'll leave anyway. - Hmm.
00:19:22 Because you're going to college and then you're going to university.
00:19:25 And then you're a girl and you think you'll get married tomorrow.
00:19:29 So, the beautiful time of my life is now.
00:19:32 - Because after 15-16, you're leaving. - Yes.
00:19:35 So I thought I'll spend the time of my life outside Pakistan.
00:19:39 Hmm.
00:19:40 - I'll spend it away from my parents and my country. - Yes.
00:19:43 So I actually told my mother. I said I don't want to go.
00:19:46 And then I thought that my parents' hard earned money
00:19:49 - doesn't need to be wasted. - Yes.
00:19:50 - Yes. - You can study here too.
00:19:53 I told my mother that I don't want to go.
00:19:55 She said, "Why?"
00:19:56 "People are dying to get admitted and you've already got it."
00:20:00 I said, "Because..." I said the same thing.
00:20:01 I said, "If I leave, there's no coming back."
00:20:03 - "This time will never come back." - Hmm.
00:20:06 So, this time I want to spend in my own house
00:20:09 and my goal is to invest in my own country.
00:20:13 - Yes. - I don't want to leave.
00:20:14 Yes.
00:20:16 I said, "I'll study here too. It's up to me how I study."
00:20:19 Hmm.
00:20:20 So, I studied here.
00:20:22 - And like Mr. Sheikh said, you have a goal. - Yes.
00:20:27 - So, the doors keep opening for you. - Hmm.
00:20:30 I said, "I don't want to go to any foreign country."
00:20:35 - "I don't want to go." - Hmm.
00:20:36 My mother asked, "What's your criteria?"
00:20:38 I said, "This is my criteria."
00:20:39 - We... - "I want to stay here."
00:20:41 - Yes. - "I don't want to go."
00:20:42 When we were kids, my mother had a very bold program on women.
00:20:46 She did a program on some heroine
00:20:49 and the people behind her, the ones who were hiding,
00:20:50 - she covered them up. - She covered them up.
00:20:54 She covered them up, exactly.
00:20:56 So, those people started threatening us.
00:20:58 My mother started getting letters like this.
00:21:01 Back then, letters were common.
00:21:03 So, my mother...
00:21:04 My father was in PTV.
00:21:06 My mother and I shifted to Germany with three kids.
00:21:09 We stayed there for two years.
00:21:11 And we studied there.
00:21:13 But I don't know.
00:21:15 My father wanted us to study there and have a future.
00:21:18 But I used to cry so much.
00:21:20 I used to cry so much and bring my mother back.
00:21:22 I don't know why.
00:21:24 - I want to go back to Pakistan. - It's like this.
00:21:25 After marriage, because my husband wasn't from here,
00:21:29 we had stayed in London.
00:21:31 And he used to tease me,
00:21:32 "I don't know what you do in your prostration."
00:21:34 - Yes. - "And you talk to your husband."
00:21:35 "I'm not able to settle back here."
00:21:38 - Yes. - My mother used to say,
00:21:39 "Lamia, I want to go home."
00:21:41 Because for me, my home is not just a house.
00:21:44 - For me, my home is my country. - Exactly.
00:21:47 And what I saw in my house since childhood
00:21:51 was that we achieved our country with great difficulty.
00:21:54 Absolutely.
00:21:55 I remember in the elections in 2013,
00:21:59 when we thought we had won the elections
00:22:01 and our vote was being misused,
00:22:03 we went out to protest on the 3rd floor.
00:22:05 I told my mother that we were going.
00:22:07 She said, "I'll come along."
00:22:08 I said, "Mum, you'll have to walk a lot."
00:22:10 "You'll have to stand a lot."
00:22:11 And my mother had a knee surgery.
00:22:13 You know, she just looked at me and she said,
00:22:16 "We made this country, not by sitting at home."
00:22:18 - Yes. - Absolutely.
00:22:19 So, the motivation was that this is your country.
00:22:22 You are your country, your home.
00:22:25 You don't leave your home in a bad situation.
00:22:27 - No. - You don't leave your parents.
00:22:29 - No. - You stay here
00:22:32 and give 100 percent of yourself.
00:22:34 Absolutely. After a small dedication,
00:22:36 I'll come back here
00:22:37 and I'll introduce you to a lot of people like this.
00:22:41 The same people who make the sea out of a drop.
00:22:46 And for their future generations...
00:22:48 The word "pushta" is from Urdu, right?
00:22:50 I thought I'd use Hindi and ask them.
00:22:52 Yes.
00:22:53 They build an entire empire for their future generations.
00:22:56 But how they work hard,
00:22:58 how they dedicate themselves...
00:22:59 There's an example here.
00:23:01 Rejection. Rejection is nothing
00:23:04 but it triggers you to reach your goal
00:23:07 if you're positive.
00:23:09 To reach your destination.
00:23:11 So, after a small dedication,
00:23:12 please don't give up hope.
00:23:15 Good morning, Pakistan.
00:23:16 Welcome back. Good morning, Pakistan.
00:23:19 I told you about Mr. Javed and Ms. Hina's struggle
00:23:23 in a nutshell.
00:23:25 But there are some people here
00:23:27 who you might not know before.
00:23:30 And today, you'll hear their story.
00:23:33 And I think you'll be motivated.
00:23:36 The person with me here is Ameer Ali Birani.
00:23:40 He's the regional digital marketing head at GediTech.
00:23:45 But he started his life,
00:23:49 his struggles,
00:23:51 with a job that pays him 40 rupees a month.
00:23:55 Let's talk to him.
00:23:57 And let's find out how he built the sea out of a drop.
00:24:01 So that our young generation can learn something.
00:24:04 And understand something.
00:24:06 And change their minds.
00:24:10 - Yes. - Hello.
00:24:12 - How are you? - I'm fine. You?
00:24:13 I'm fine.
00:24:15 What was that time? 40 rupees a day?
00:24:18 - A day. - 40 rupees a day.
00:24:20 What was that time?
00:24:22 What was your background?
00:24:24 Initially, I'm a boy from Lyari.
00:24:28 And I moved to a side area in Lyari.
00:24:31 You know what a side area is like.
00:24:34 Initially, the situation was good.
00:24:36 Thank God, it was so good.
00:24:37 My parents had made me sit on a sofa all day.
00:24:41 - Okay. - There was a TV.
00:24:43 - Okay. - And food.
00:24:44 - That's it. - Right.
00:24:45 If I get off, my grandma will tell me to clean up.
00:24:48 This is the situation I live in.
00:24:50 - Okay. - But suddenly,
00:24:52 - we had to sell a house. - Okay.
00:24:56 We had to rent another one.
00:24:58 - Otherwise, we would have sold it. - Okay.
00:24:59 We live on those illegal buildings.
00:25:03 - Where people come to break it for free. - Yes.
00:25:06 - You need to come out. - Okay.
00:25:09 - I was 7-8 years old. - You lived in such buildings.
00:25:12 - Yes. - The ones that are under control.
00:25:15 Exactly.
00:25:16 Initially, I have two brothers and a sister.
00:25:20 I saw how much they were struggling.
00:25:23 Sometimes, we waited the entire night.
00:25:26 We waited till night for our dad.
00:25:28 He would get a tiffin.
00:25:29 They would come and give us something to eat.
00:25:32 - Okay. - That's it.
00:25:34 - That's how much they struggled. - Exactly.
00:25:36 - They waited for their dad. - Exactly.
00:25:38 - They would get food. - If the food was good, we would eat.
00:25:41 My father used to save money in the afternoon.
00:25:44 - Okay. - He would come.
00:25:46 His food was sold by the salesmen.
00:25:48 In Joria Bazaar.
00:25:50 We would wait for him.
00:25:51 - Yes. - And then,
00:25:53 one time, we were in the afternoon.
00:25:54 Mom was working.
00:25:56 So, all three brothers ate the food for Rs. 10-15.
00:25:59 - We brothers spent time like this. - This time.
00:26:02 - As we grew up, we realized our responsibilities. - Were you studying?
00:26:06 - I was studying. - Okay.
00:26:07 - Our parents tried to give us the best in every level. - Okay.
00:26:12 We were studying, thank God.
00:26:14 But, we realized our responsibilities
00:26:18 - and we started to realize it. - Okay.
00:26:20 Initially, I started working.
00:26:22 I used to go to school.
00:26:23 I used to work in the factory to earn Rs. 40.
00:26:26 - Okay. - But...
00:26:27 - So, you studied and worked in the factory. - Exactly.
00:26:30 - I used to wrap gift boxes. - Yes.
00:26:34 How young were you?
00:26:35 - I was 12-15 years old. - 12-15?
00:26:37 - I was 12-13 years old. - Okay.
00:26:39 Then, this was not enough.
00:26:41 Then, I started working.
00:26:43 I thought about what else I could do with my family.
00:26:45 Because, they were also saying, as a big brother...
00:26:47 - I am the eldest son in the family. - Okay.
00:26:49 - If I am responsible, then... - You will be responsible.
00:26:53 I wanted to be a role model.
00:26:55 So, I decided to do something.
00:26:57 I used to buy packets of garam masala at school.
00:27:00 - Yes. - I used to buy packets for Rs. 5 or Rs. 3.
00:27:02 - I used to add some cumin and cardamom. - Okay.
00:27:04 I used to go to the shop and buy packets.
00:27:07 I used to collect money from them.
00:27:09 Where did you buy the packets?
00:27:10 - I used to buy the packets from Jodhia Bazaar. - Okay.
00:27:14 I used to buy the packets and to increase the quantity,
00:27:16 I used to buy packets from Alukhet, Chips, Papad, Gharpa.
00:27:19 - That's how I started. - Okay.
00:27:20 - Did you think about it? - No.
00:27:22 I used to see the surroundings.
00:27:24 I used to see the uncles working in the house.
00:27:26 The uncles supported me a lot.
00:27:27 Eventually, when I started doing this, they started crying.
00:27:30 - Yes. - Because, they kept me like this for 5 years.
00:27:33 - Yes. - And all of a sudden, I started working.
00:27:36 - Yes. - At the age of 12 or 13.
00:27:37 - You bought the packets from a shop. - Exactly.
00:27:40 - And you distributed them in the shop. - Exactly.
00:27:42 - Okay. - Obviously, there was a profit.
00:27:43 At that time, the uncles used to say,
00:27:45 "What is this boy doing? We kept him like this."
00:27:48 "If he doesn't bring food for me from a particular restaurant at night,
00:27:50 I won't eat."
00:27:51 - Yes. - That's how I was.
00:27:51 - You saw this era. - "What has happened to this boy?"
00:27:54 But, today, when they see me, they say, "It's good."
00:27:56 What happened next?
00:27:57 Next, when I was going through this,
00:28:01 I moved forward in my studies.
00:28:03 And I moved forward in my studies.
00:28:04 - And then, this started. - You started small businesses.
00:28:07 - I started small businesses. - You kept going.
00:28:09 Then, I grew up a little.
00:28:10 Obviously, I have to study.
00:28:11 Everyone has to study.
00:28:12 My parents and brothers supported me.
00:28:14 It's not like I'm alone.
00:28:15 - Everyone was doing it at home. - Exactly.
00:28:17 All three of us, brother, sister, and parents,
00:28:19 we have such a bond.
00:28:20 We all know that we have to help each other.
00:28:23 There is no one.
00:28:24 Today, people say, "We have to leave Pakistan."
00:28:27 Why do we have to leave Pakistan?
00:28:28 If you are alone,
00:28:30 you should evaluate yourself first.
00:28:31 "Is this wrong in Pakistan? Is that wrong?"
00:28:33 "Are you okay?"
00:28:34 If you get a chance to break the signal, you will break it.
00:28:37 "Are you okay?" "No."
00:28:38 - We said, "We have to change our lives." - How did you change your life?
00:28:41 Exactly. We have to change our lives.
00:28:43 So, we started a stall.
00:28:45 - Okay. - We sold burgers there.
00:28:46 - Okay. - We sold fries there.
00:28:48 - Yes. - We had reached the university.
00:28:50 - Yes. - Thank God, my brother was also in school.
00:28:53 - You were paying for your studies. - Yes.
00:28:55 My mother was supporting me.
00:28:56 I was supporting her.
00:28:57 My brothers were supporting me.
00:28:58 We didn't see who was earning more.
00:29:00 But we had to study.
00:29:02 - You had to save money. - Exactly.
00:29:04 - And then... - Everyone had to study.
00:29:06 - Okay. - One day,
00:29:08 I was selling burgers.
00:29:09 I was standing on the stall.
00:29:10 I was told that a famous motivational speaker
00:29:13 was giving a seminar.
00:29:15 Farhat Karawali.
00:29:16 He was very motivated and very forward.
00:29:20 I was very interested in learning.
00:29:21 Because, obviously,
00:29:22 it's good.
00:29:23 It's good.
00:29:24 But, I don't want to do it for the rest of my life.
00:29:25 - Yes. - Okay?
00:29:27 I'm not ashamed of doing it.
00:29:29 Because, if I didn't do it, I wouldn't have reached Shariah.
00:29:31 - Yes. - Farhat Karawali...
00:29:33 He said something that stuck in my mind.
00:29:36 He said, "Everyone studies."
00:29:38 For example, there are 100 applicants for a job.
00:29:40 There's only one selector.
00:29:41 Because he's different from everyone.
00:29:43 - Yes. - So, work on your skill set.
00:29:45 That stuck in my mind.
00:29:46 I thought, "How will I get this skill set?"
00:29:48 - What were you studying? - At that time,
00:29:50 I was a normal, general, commerce student.
00:29:52 - Okay. - This was what I used to do.
00:29:53 Yes.
00:29:54 I had a lot of dreams.
00:29:56 I wanted to go into commerce, bank, and become a cricketer.
00:29:58 But, I didn't have that.
00:30:01 That's how it is.
00:30:02 - And then... - You had a skill in your mind.
00:30:03 I had a skill in my mind.
00:30:05 I thought, "I have to do something on BS."
00:30:06 And, at that time, a new computer came.
00:30:08 I thought, "This is something new."
00:30:10 "Let's do this."
00:30:11 So, I covered Microsoft Office.
00:30:13 - Okay. - I really enjoyed it.
00:30:14 I took Microsoft Office courses four times
00:30:17 because I wanted to use it.
00:30:18 I didn't have a computer at home.
00:30:19 - Yes. - It was either cheap or free.
00:30:21 - Yes. - So, I thought, "Okay."
00:30:22 Then, I thought, "Let's take this seriously."
00:30:25 So, I joined a course in CIT.
00:30:27 They teach you about designing and development.
00:30:30 I was doing my course.
00:30:32 Suddenly, one day, my friend got a job.
00:30:34 I asked him, "Where do you work?"
00:30:35 He said, "I work at this place."
00:30:37 It was my first job.
00:30:38 I learned a lot from there.
00:30:39 - Yes. - E-Vision.
00:30:40 Ameen Lalani was our boss.
00:30:42 He said, "Take me along."
00:30:45 I asked him how much he was paying.
00:30:46 He said, "Rs. 2,500 a month."
00:30:47 I asked him what his job was. He said, "Clifton."
00:30:49 "Side area and Clifton."
00:30:51 - Two different places. - Yes.
00:30:53 I told him, "Don't worry."
00:30:56 "You can learn from home."
00:30:58 - Yes. - I did the calculations.
00:31:00 There was no internet at that time.
00:31:01 I used to get 500 rupees jerry cards.
00:31:03 I thought, "I'll get 500 rupees in a month."
00:31:05 "I'll spend this much on my phone."
00:31:06 "I'll save this much for Rs. 1,000."
00:31:08 I spent Rs. 1,000.
00:31:10 - "Wow, this is amazing." - Okay.
00:31:11 "Let's do it."
00:31:12 I went there that day.
00:31:13 I sat there and saw people.
00:31:15 The room was smaller than this.
00:31:16 Six people were sitting in weird clothes.
00:31:18 I asked, "What is this?"
00:31:20 I said, "You have to learn."
00:31:21 "You'll get Rs. 1,000. What do I care?"
00:31:23 I sat there and learned the whole day.
00:31:25 I did my work.
00:31:25 I met Mr. Saraswati.
00:31:26 In the evening, I said, "I understood."
00:31:27 - I said, "Yes, sir." - What was your IT job?
00:31:29 It was SEO.
00:31:31 Today, it's called search engine optimization.
00:31:33 At that time, it was called data entry.
00:31:34 18 years ago, no one knew what digital was.
00:31:36 Yes.
00:31:37 It was SEO.
00:31:39 I said, "I understood the job."
00:31:41 I don't know what came to my mind.
00:31:43 That line changed my life.
00:31:45 It was a line...
00:31:47 "Sir, I didn't even think about the cart."
00:31:50 I said, "Sir, can I work here?"
00:31:52 Yes.
00:31:53 - He said, "Yes, this is the system. Can I come?" - Yes.
00:31:55 I said, "Okay."
00:31:57 I told my brother, "You have to handle it."
00:31:59 "You handle the cart."
00:32:00 "I'll go here."
00:32:01 - So that I get one income and two income. - This is how growth happens.
00:32:04 You decide that it's okay now.
00:32:06 The money I'm earning doesn't matter.
00:32:09 - What's the point of jumping ahead? - The opportunity you're getting.
00:32:12 Exactly. This is the game of timing.
00:32:14 Exactly.
00:32:15 For that 2,500 rupees, I used to climb Khan Koch all the way
00:32:19 in the morning and in the evening.
00:32:21 And at night, I used to think, "I'm going for 2,500 only at 7.30."
00:32:24 "I'll be back at 8.30 or 9 at night."
00:32:25 If I keep taking out this motivation from your story,
00:32:30 from every episode,
00:32:31 I'm understanding that I didn't see money at that time.
00:32:35 But I saw that I was getting a free computer.
00:32:37 And I can experiment with it and move forward.
00:32:40 - I was learning skills. - Yes.
00:32:42 I was learning. I thought, "I'll sit at home and do this."
00:32:44 "Five people are doing different things. I'll learn five things."
00:32:48 So I came there.
00:32:49 I started working.
00:32:50 A year passed.
00:32:51 And then it was a race to see who works the most.
00:32:54 Bonuses, performance, whatever criteria you know.
00:32:57 So, sir observed me.
00:32:58 - He said, "The guy is good." - He's a spark.
00:33:00 He's a spark.
00:33:01 So, he called me.
00:33:02 He said, "Why don't you do designing and development?"
00:33:05 I said, "It's too expensive."
00:33:08 He said, "How expensive?"
00:33:08 I said, "I don't know."
00:33:09 He said, "You'll know if you do it."
00:33:11 He sent me to ARENA.
00:33:12 He sent me to ARENA Multimedia.
00:33:14 He asked me to find out the cost of the course.
00:33:16 I found out that the course was for Rs. 5000.
00:33:18 I didn't have a salary.
00:33:20 He said, "I'll talk to him. He knows me."
00:33:22 The next day, he came to me.
00:33:23 He said, "Sum up five students."
00:33:26 "Your course fee will be Rs. 1500."
00:33:28 "And I'll pay that."
00:33:29 Oh!
00:33:30 I said, "Wow!"
00:33:30 So, I went to my area.
00:33:32 I got four or five friends from the side.
00:33:35 I said, "I have to study. It's a new thing."
00:33:36 He said, "Take everyone to ARENA."
00:33:38 "I'll learn designing in Rs. 1500."
00:33:40 He said, "It's a spark."
00:33:42 One day, he said, "You won't come to office today."
00:33:43 "You'll be out of the office."
00:33:44 Yes.
00:33:45 I said, "Why? I'm doing such a good job."
00:33:47 He said, "Look, you have to grow now."
00:33:49 "You have to see that communication..."
00:33:51 Sometimes, there's a person in your life
00:33:54 who pushes you.
00:33:55 Exactly.
00:33:56 Someone can be your parent.
00:33:58 Someone can be your sibling.
00:33:59 Someone can be your boss.
00:34:00 Exactly.
00:34:01 He pushed me.
00:34:03 He said, "Now, you need to work on the communication."
00:34:05 "I'm speaking so well today."
00:34:06 "People didn't understand what I was saying."
00:34:08 Yes.
00:34:09 "I need to grow."
00:34:10 He said, "Your shoes are torn."
00:34:12 "You go. If your shoes don't get fixed, you won't come to office."
00:34:15 Yes.
00:34:16 I said, "What?"
00:34:18 "It's my job."
00:34:19 You learned that.
00:34:20 Exactly.
00:34:21 You learned other aspects of life.
00:34:24 You learned grooming.
00:34:25 I had a good salary.
00:34:26 I used to ask him, "I'll do a course on designing."
00:34:30 "My dad earns Rs. 8000."
00:34:33 "Will I reach that level?"
00:34:35 He said, "You'll go further than that."
00:34:36 So, your goal was to reach your dad.
00:34:40 Yes, to reach my dad.
00:34:41 I was supporting him.
00:34:43 I thought I'd reach that level in 8000.
00:34:44 Yes.
00:34:45 He said, "You'll earn 80, not 8."
00:34:47 "But, do what you're doing."
00:34:49 "And work hard like this."
00:34:51 "You have the spark."
00:34:52 He was very motivated.
00:34:53 Three years passed.
00:34:55 Everything was going well.
00:34:56 I got a good salary.
00:34:57 My family was better.
00:34:58 The shop was closed.
00:34:59 Everyone else was studying.
00:35:00 Everyone else was working on their skills.
00:35:02 The company was closed.
00:35:03 Oh, no.
00:35:04 We were sitting there.
00:35:06 "Sir, we have four clients on Sunday."
00:35:08 He said, "The clients ran away with the money."
00:35:10 Which is normal.
00:35:11 The six of us were 35 people.
00:35:16 Those 35 people used to report me.
00:35:18 The design team, development team.
00:35:19 And you were the hero.
00:35:20 We were four.
00:35:21 It's a game of snake and lion.
00:35:23 We were looking at each other's faces.
00:35:24 "What do we do now?"
00:35:26 I had a good salary.
00:35:27 I earned 10-12 thousand.
00:35:28 But, it was a lot back then.
00:35:29 I called him on Sunday.
00:35:31 "The company is closed."
00:35:33 "We will restart it."
00:35:35 "But, I cannot pay you for three months."
00:35:38 "You will do it for free?"
00:35:39 "Yes, for free."
00:35:40 "Then?"
00:35:41 "Then, we will decide whether to sit at home or do it."
00:35:43 "But, we said we will do it."
00:35:45 "We will do it because if we don't do it, we will sit at home."
00:35:48 He taught us.
00:35:49 We agreed.
00:35:51 After agreeing, we started working.
00:35:53 Alhamdulillah, we got double the salary.
00:35:55 And, our position increased.
00:35:57 It was a big moment.
00:35:59 Depression and all other things.
00:36:01 You have to take risks in life.
00:36:02 Exactly.
00:36:03 You have to take risks and jump.
00:36:05 You take calculated risks.
00:36:06 Yes.
00:36:07 It's not like you go blindly.
00:36:09 You are thinking.
00:36:10 You think that you are taking a momentary loss.
00:36:14 But, you are investing in your career.
00:36:17 Because, it will give you more benefits in future.
00:36:20 I think, the mentoring of your bosses
00:36:26 Exactly.
00:36:27 is very important.
00:36:28 Someone should keep you on track.
00:36:30 And, you should listen to them.
00:36:31 Exactly.
00:36:32 This is also very important.
00:36:33 Two or three things are very important.
00:36:35 One is, the prayers of parents are always with you.
00:36:38 You can't move ahead without them.
00:36:40 Second is, the motivation of your life partner.
00:36:42 My wife, Jasmine, encouraged me from everywhere.
00:36:46 "I am sitting here today."
00:36:47 Then, I went to another company.
00:36:50 I worked there for five years.
00:36:52 I went to another company.
00:36:53 I got a car there and that company closed down.
00:36:55 I was depressed.
00:36:57 It's dangerous.
00:36:59 You are going to the other company and they are closing down.
00:37:01 It was a difficult situation.
00:37:03 Now, I have more responsibilities.
00:37:06 I have reached a level.
00:37:07 I have been in this career for ten years.
00:37:08 I have a good salary.
00:37:09 In Pakistan, I have not got a good digital salary.
00:37:13 Eventually, some close people told me that I can't get that salary.
00:37:17 I said, "I have faith in me."
00:37:19 I got a job and it was 30% less.
00:37:21 I refused it.
00:37:22 I said, "No."
00:37:23 I was working for free for three months in an office.
00:37:28 I refused to work there.
00:37:29 My family members told me that I could have worked for 20% less.
00:37:34 My family and my cousin told me that if Amir is doing something,
00:37:39 he is doing it with a good intention.
00:37:41 Within one day, I got a call from the same company.
00:37:44 They called me on the basis of my salary.
00:37:46 Alhamdulillah.
00:37:47 This is the movement.
00:37:48 Sometimes, you need to bluff.
00:37:50 You need to take risks.
00:37:52 If you want to conclude your life and say something to the young people,
00:37:57 what will that be?
00:37:58 Success will come when you want it.
00:38:03 First of all, you have to change yourself.
00:38:05 If you want to sit and not work hard and everything is done, then no.
00:38:09 There are many young people who want to do a lot of things
00:38:12 but they don't have guidance.
00:38:14 People take advantage of that and say,
00:38:16 "Take my $15, $20, $25 course.
00:38:19 They will earn it themselves. They will not get any benefit."
00:38:21 Today, I say to your channel,
00:38:22 if someone wants to do an online business,
00:38:25 wants to do it successfully,
00:38:27 he can message me.
00:38:29 I will give him a free course which is 2 hours.
00:38:31 And that person can justify himself and take 2 hours of training.
00:38:35 Where he has been taught from product 1 to selling.
00:38:38 And he can execute it.
00:38:40 There is nothing that will provide you a shortcut.
00:38:42 There is nothing that will make you rich overnight.
00:38:45 This is all the effort you need to put on.
00:38:48 Otherwise, no.
00:38:49 - You will get a shortcut. - If I say this,
00:38:52 because I have also spent 2 years outside.
00:38:54 I travel too, so I have an idea.
00:38:56 If we are working here, we still relax a little.
00:39:01 But if you are working outside, you have to spend hours.
00:39:04 - Oh, God! - Absolutely.
00:39:05 They take out the juice from you.
00:39:07 Hour after hour.
00:39:08 The hour is less, you are late.
00:39:09 The thing is, when you want to improve in life,
00:39:13 people say, "The far-off is beautiful."
00:39:16 - Exactly. - You are taking any decision in life.
00:39:19 I always say, like I have done in my life.
00:39:21 I said, "I don't want to go out."
00:39:23 I never thought I would become an actor or be on television.
00:39:28 I didn't even think about it.
00:39:30 But when I got an opportunity,
00:39:34 I thought, "This is a good opportunity, I should try this."
00:39:39 And while trying, my career,
00:39:41 from wanting to become a lawyer, to becoming an industrial designer,
00:39:45 to becoming an anchor and a journalist, to becoming an actor,
00:39:48 - doors keep opening for you. - It keeps evolving.
00:39:51 The thing is, when you are here,
00:39:54 I always say, make a list.
00:39:58 - Whatever I am doing, - Yes.
00:40:01 - I have these advantages and disadvantages. - Yes.
00:40:03 I say, here, people's ego...
00:40:06 - People's noses become longer. - Yes.
00:40:09 They have to drive a taxi, wash the bathroom, do everything.
00:40:12 - No, you see, I have so many advantages and disadvantages. - Yes.
00:40:15 So, when you make a list, you write it down.
00:40:18 You will see, here I have 12 advantages,
00:40:21 - but there are only 3. - Exactly.
00:40:23 There are 12 disadvantages.
00:40:25 - So, you come in a better condition to take a decision. - Exactly.
00:40:29 But, I really like what he said.
00:40:32 I think that is what I will take from his life.
00:40:35 - He never considered any work as a disadvantage. - No.
00:40:40 He never considered any work as a hurdle.
00:40:41 He thought, "I can do this as long as I am working."
00:40:44 The thing that attracts people is the greatness of hard work.
00:40:47 - Yes. - It is recognition of hard work.
00:40:49 - Exactly. - When you go abroad,
00:40:51 - your hard work is accepted. - You are paid well.
00:40:55 - You need that acceptance here. - Exactly.
00:40:57 In Adon, for example, when you go abroad as a student,
00:41:00 you do waitership. Why are you ashamed here?
00:41:02 - Yes. - You tell me.
00:41:03 - Will you wash the dishes there or not? - Exactly.
00:41:04 In today's date, Alhamdulillah,
00:41:06 after going so far, I work for 7 days.
00:41:09 I teach kids in the office for 6 days and on weekends at the university.
00:41:13 It's not that I earn more money...
00:41:16 - You need to return it. - Exactly.
00:41:19 Maybe one of them, Aamir Ali Verani, comes here.
00:41:22 - Yes. - I can change someone's life.
00:41:24 - The one who becomes your boss. - Exactly.
00:41:26 You are taking a small waqf.
00:41:28 We have many such motivational stories here.
00:41:32 I think if we can change the minds of 20% people,
00:41:37 the perception that nothing is left here,
00:41:40 leave it and go.
00:41:41 We are here.
00:41:43 We are earning from here.
00:41:44 We are living here and we are happy.
00:41:46 So you can be happy too.
00:41:49 Keep your hopes high and don't let hope go.
00:41:52 Good morning, Pakistan.
00:41:53 Welcome back. Good morning, Pakistan.
00:41:56 Today, we say that some people are filled with love and some are filled with sticks.
00:42:03 And some people, when they hear something like this,
00:42:06 they get emotional and they change the aims of their life.
00:42:13 So it's not a bad thing to make your life better.
00:42:17 But there is not just one solution to make it better.
00:42:21 Leave your place, your country, your home and go far away.
00:42:27 And brighten your future.
00:42:29 Many people have brightened their future.
00:42:31 But many people's lives have been ruined too.
00:42:35 Just thinking that if we go abroad, then this is life.
00:42:40 So I would like to introduce you to
00:42:42 M. Shavez Azim and M. Ali Merchant,
00:42:45 who are two young men who didn't dream that
00:42:50 if they go abroad, their lives will be ruined.
00:42:53 They stayed here and worked hard.
00:42:56 They are getting their money back.
00:42:58 And God willing, they will get more in the future.
00:43:00 So I have with me two university students.
00:43:03 We will tell you what they did.
00:43:06 Yes, absolutely.
00:43:07 Yes.
00:43:08 As-salamu alaykum.
00:43:09 We are childhood friends.
00:43:11 We used to live in the same area.
00:43:13 Okay.
00:43:13 And...
00:43:15 What kind of family did you have?
00:43:16 Like middle class?
00:43:17 Middle class.
00:43:18 You can understand that we belong to a middle class family.
00:43:21 Yes.
00:43:21 When boys cross 18,
00:43:24 there is a pressure to set their future.
00:43:27 So we joined the university.
00:43:28 You know that the fees of the university are very expensive.
00:43:30 So we thought that we won't burden the family so much.
00:43:33 We will take some initiative from ourselves.
00:43:35 So we can spend our studies.
00:43:37 Exactly.
00:43:37 At least we spend our studies.
00:43:39 Both of you decided this.
00:43:40 Yes, we used to plan together.
00:43:42 Yes.
00:43:43 So we did a lot of market research.
00:43:46 And we were interested in food business.
00:43:48 Okay.
00:43:49 But we didn't know anything about it.
00:43:50 Like how to work, how to run a business,
00:43:52 how to cook food,
00:43:53 what to do with some money.
00:43:55 After doing a lot of research,
00:43:56 we did a lot of departments.
00:43:58 We did desi food,
00:43:59 fast food.
00:44:00 But we thought that the market gap was in pizza.
00:44:02 Okay.
00:44:03 So we used to give a lot of...
00:44:05 We used to give a lot of tuitions.
00:44:06 So where did you get the money to do business?
00:44:08 Exactly.
00:44:08 So we used to give tuitions first.
00:44:10 Okay.
00:44:10 And I used to work in a call center.
00:44:12 So we got a little...
00:44:13 You did small jobs and earned money.
00:44:15 So we had saved some money.
00:44:17 So we started our first initiative with 1.5 to 2 lakhs.
00:44:21 Did he give you half the money?
00:44:22 It's like this.
00:44:22 We both got the money.
00:44:24 So you know that everyone plans here.
00:44:28 And every boy dreams to do business.
00:44:30 So it was like this.
00:44:32 Yes.
00:44:32 We got the money and started working on many businesses.
00:44:36 Okay.
00:44:36 We started a business on biryani.
00:44:39 We worked a lot in restaurants.
00:44:41 I mean all those...
00:44:42 So you worked on pizza.
00:44:43 Yes.
00:44:44 We were interested in eating.
00:44:45 So we started working here.
00:44:46 You said you will cook and eat.
00:44:48 Yes.
00:44:48 It's like this.
00:44:49 We came to pizza and stopped.
00:44:52 Yes.
00:44:53 Because you know that in the end,
00:44:56 you need profit in business.
00:44:58 Okay, so the story of pizza happened here.
00:45:00 Then what happened next?
00:45:01 Then we started a very small restaurant.
00:45:03 We hired a chef.
00:45:04 Okay.
00:45:05 And the chef struggled.
00:45:07 I will tell you that...
00:45:07 You must have bought all the things.
00:45:09 Yes, I bought all the things.
00:45:10 We went to different markets.
00:45:11 We bought all the things.
00:45:12 We searched for vendors.
00:45:14 We did all the things.
00:45:14 When he was making pizza,
00:45:16 the chef was standing with you.
00:45:17 Yes.
00:45:17 We didn't know anything.
00:45:18 Okay.
00:45:19 I mean I was learning.
00:45:20 He said, "You teach us too."
00:45:21 Okay.
00:45:21 Yes, exactly.
00:45:23 So it was like this that
00:45:24 after a week, the chef left the village.
00:45:27 Without informing us.
00:45:28 Okay.
00:45:28 And now he left us in the middle of the sea.
00:45:31 Yes.
00:45:32 Then all the work came to us.
00:45:35 Yes.
00:45:36 So Shavez used to work in the kitchen.
00:45:39 Yes.
00:45:40 And I used to handle all the outdoor work.
00:45:41 Okay, you...
00:45:42 I love to work by hand.
00:45:43 Okay.
00:45:44 So I took the kitchen department.
00:45:46 And I used to stand with the chef.
00:45:47 And you made the pizza yourself.
00:45:48 Yes, I made it myself.
00:45:49 Because we knew that if we learn it ourselves,
00:45:53 we will be able to do this work well.
00:45:55 Otherwise, whoever you hire,
00:45:56 they will go anytime.
00:45:57 Because we don't have the know-how.
00:45:59 So even after a year, if the work goes well,
00:46:01 the business is good,
00:46:03 we should have the know-how
00:46:05 that it is coming from a good source.
00:46:06 Have you ever thought of saving money
00:46:07 that we have done for 1.5 lakhs business,
00:46:09 we should save it and go abroad.
00:46:11 No.
00:46:12 Have you ever thought of that?
00:46:12 At that time, I didn't think of anything
00:46:14 because there were responsibilities.
00:46:15 And we were students here.
00:46:17 Yes.
00:46:17 We had to pay the fees.
00:46:18 So we didn't think of going abroad.
00:46:22 Yes.
00:46:22 So now you started pizza.
00:46:26 So how many branches are there?
00:46:27 We currently have four outlets.
00:46:29 Okay.
00:46:30 God bless.
00:46:31 And how long did it take?
00:46:32 This took a total of six years.
00:46:35 Okay.
00:46:35 And in this, we have run only one branch for two years.
00:46:39 Yes.
00:46:40 And then we increased each outlet every year.
00:46:43 You are saying branch,
00:46:44 so you have a restaurant where you can have a dine-in?
00:46:48 Yes, we have two outlets for dine-in.
00:46:50 And the rest is for delivery.
00:46:52 It depends on the area.
00:46:54 We research the market there.
00:46:56 We research the market there
00:46:58 that the area that will have a dine-in
00:47:01 can give us so much money.
00:47:02 Because you know, we are doing business,
00:47:04 so we have to see the cost at the end.
00:47:05 Absolutely.
00:47:06 It's very important.
00:47:07 We do a lot of research in the area
00:47:09 and capture the market.
00:47:12 So, it's like a dine-in.
00:47:14 So your family didn't say that you are studying
00:47:18 and making pizza.
00:47:19 They used to say a lot in the beginning.
00:47:20 Yes.
00:47:20 I remember when I used to go for deliveries,
00:47:23 my area was there, we used to live there.
00:47:26 So sometimes I used to go to my relatives' house.
00:47:28 I never felt ashamed.
00:47:30 And sometimes I used to go there myself.
00:47:31 So everyone used to say,
00:47:32 "Mohammed Ali, what are you doing?
00:47:34 He goes to the university and..."
00:47:35 Even your relatives say that.
00:47:36 Yes.
00:47:37 "He studied, he became a pizza delivery boy."
00:47:40 But we believe that when it's our job,
00:47:44 we have to do all the work.
00:47:45 We don't feel ashamed.
00:47:46 And one more thing,
00:47:47 whatever you study,
00:47:49 it never goes to waste.
00:47:51 Yes.
00:47:52 Because you will apply it for your business.
00:47:53 Absolutely.
00:47:54 I have done interior designing.
00:47:57 So I knew that...
00:47:58 You are my party member.
00:47:59 Yes.
00:48:00 And I have done my diploma from IBS.
00:48:02 So I am getting a job where I can design the brand myself.
00:48:07 Okay.
00:48:07 Software and everything.
00:48:09 I have a plan.
00:48:10 Your things are useful.
00:48:12 Exactly.
00:48:13 You said that you don't want to burden your parents.
00:48:15 So I was telling you that I actually got admission
00:48:19 in a very good university in America.
00:48:21 I didn't go.
00:48:22 But I was worried that I wouldn't burden my parents.
00:48:26 So I applied for a scholarship.
00:48:28 Hmm.
00:48:29 I got it.
00:48:31 What's the harm in trying?
00:48:32 I got it, thank God.
00:48:33 The second thing is that I was motivated to stay here and do something.
00:48:39 I got an opportunity to do a program,
00:48:41 which was a four-year program, post-graduate,
00:48:44 with CIM Germany,
00:48:45 where we used to get a stipend.
00:48:48 Hmm.
00:48:49 So my parents gave me a car.
00:48:51 But I used to pay for the petrol.
00:48:52 Yes, yes.
00:48:53 And I wanted to keep earning and save money.
00:48:56 When I started my business,
00:48:57 I worked for four years and saved money.
00:49:02 Mr. Javed, did you ever have a time
00:49:05 when you were taking your family members with you?
00:49:08 All your siblings, you were spending money.
00:49:09 Of course, I was...
00:49:10 Mr. Amir, I grew up in my family.
00:49:15 And obviously, I had everything on my shoulders.
00:49:20 So I took my family with me,
00:49:23 which, thank God, we are all one today.
00:49:26 We are united.
00:49:26 Yes.
00:49:27 So their education, all that...
00:49:29 I did everything.
00:49:30 Marriages, education, everything.
00:49:33 I did it.
00:49:35 And, thank God, I took everyone with me.
00:49:38 And today, everyone is happy in their own places.
00:49:41 Yes, absolutely.
00:49:42 Have you all grown up in a family?
00:49:44 I grew up in a family.
00:49:46 You grew up too.
00:49:47 I am in second class.
00:49:49 I am in second class.
00:49:50 So, if you all,
00:49:52 your life struggles,
00:49:54 Mashallah, you are still going through a struggling period.
00:49:56 That's right.
00:49:57 And at your age,
00:49:59 a lot of young people are looking for jobs.
00:50:02 And you all have four branches.
00:50:05 So, what would you like to say to the young generation
00:50:08 through this experience?
00:50:10 Look, life is full of difficulties.
00:50:13 Yes.
00:50:14 And it's full of difficulties.
00:50:15 I think, no matter what time you are in,
00:50:19 it's never a peaceful time.
00:50:21 I read a poem,
00:50:23 "If life was easy, God wouldn't have promised me heaven."
00:50:26 So, you face difficulties,
00:50:28 but you have to be consistent to be successful.
00:50:31 And patience is very important.
00:50:33 We have also worked with patience.
00:50:34 We have not worked in four outlets at once.
00:50:37 We have earned a lot of money,
00:50:39 and we have worked on our own.
00:50:41 There are no holidays in the restaurant field.
00:50:42 Yes, absolutely.
00:50:43 You have to work 365 days a year.
00:50:45 We have more work on the days when the common people have holidays.
00:50:48 Whether it's Eid, or a weekend,
00:50:49 or any festival,
00:50:51 we have to be present at the outlet.
00:50:53 We have to work.
00:50:54 We have to be family supportive.
00:50:57 So, patience and consistency are very important.
00:50:59 If someone does that,
00:51:01 God willing, he will be successful.
00:51:03 If someone offers you an offer
00:51:08 to come here and leave your business in Pakistan,
00:51:12 and come to our country,
00:51:13 and we give you this facility,
00:51:15 what will you do?
00:51:16 But I can't leave Pakistan,
00:51:18 because I have a lot of work.
00:51:21 That's the thing.
00:51:21 We have a base here.
00:51:23 We can go and explore our business here.
00:51:28 There are many restaurants in the international area.
00:51:31 You can't sell everything and leave Pakistan.
00:51:34 No, not at all.
00:51:34 He's saying that it's possible to explore.
00:51:37 It's a base.
00:51:39 Look, there's a small thing.
00:51:40 The picture behind you,
00:51:42 of this handsome young man.
00:51:44 I would call it the picture of a young man.
00:51:48 So, if you think that he was Muhammad Ali Jinnah,
00:51:52 and he was successful,
00:51:55 but where did he become a leader?
00:51:57 In Pakistan.
00:51:57 In his own soil.
00:51:58 Exactly.
00:51:59 He came back,
00:52:01 did something for his people,
00:52:02 and made his name in the world.
00:52:05 So, if you,
00:52:06 I would pray that,
00:52:07 what's the name of your brand?
00:52:08 Street Pizza.
00:52:09 Street Pizza.
00:52:11 I would want that Street Pizza
00:52:13 opens outlets outside Pakistan.
00:52:17 And it would be known as a Pakistani brand.
00:52:19 That is what I would like to see, God willing.
00:52:21 God willing.
00:52:23 So, we had a short break here.
00:52:25 We'll continue after the break.
00:52:26 Good morning, Pakistan.
00:52:28 And more motivational stories are waiting for you.
00:52:32 Welcome, welcome back.
00:52:33 Good morning, Pakistan.
00:52:35 The holiday you're celebrating at home,
00:52:37 please don't waste it.
00:52:39 I said, say something that,
00:52:41 perhaps, leaves a mark on your heart.
00:52:45 And today, we're meeting some people,
00:52:48 who, after living in this country,
00:52:51 understood that we can brighten our career,
00:52:52 our future,
00:52:54 through our hard work.
00:52:57 So, here with me,
00:52:59 apart from these two legends,
00:53:01 the people present,
00:53:04 I'll introduce them.
00:53:05 Sohail Khan is present,
00:53:07 who is the founder and CEO of Starlix Solution.
00:53:11 And Mir Raza Tabe,
00:53:13 who is a restaurant based on Waffle Licks,
00:53:17 a waffle-based restaurant.
00:53:20 So, we'll start with Sohail Khan.
00:53:22 - As-salamu alaykum. - Wa-alaykum as-salam.
00:53:24 Sohail, how did you...
00:53:27 (speaking in Urdu)
00:53:29 I'm asking you again and again, out of fear.
00:53:31 - I'm asking you what you'd like to say. - I'll do it right.
00:53:35 First of all, my role model,
00:53:37 has been my father since childhood.
00:53:40 The way I saw his hard work and dedication,
00:53:43 he helped me build my character,
00:53:45 and made the child's needs a foundation.
00:53:49 How to work hard in life,
00:53:51 - and how to be dedicated... - There are parents who give advice,
00:53:54 and there are parents who work hard,
00:53:58 and the children are like sponges.
00:54:02 - You saw your father and... - Exactly.
00:54:05 Basically, we were nine siblings,
00:54:07 and everyone got a good education.
00:54:10 Although, sometimes it happened that my father didn't have a job.
00:54:13 But the way he managed to build a platform for us,
00:54:18 and a life-changing moment,
00:54:21 because when you pass your internship,
00:54:24 it's not clear what you want to do in life.
00:54:27 So, this is the biggest problem of our youth.
00:54:30 So, at that time, when I took admission in Sindh Madrasat Islam University,
00:54:34 which is the father of the nation,
00:54:36 - Qaid Azam Ahmed Ali Jinnah's... - Al-Bamit.
00:54:38 He got his primary education from there.
00:54:40 And when I took admission there,
00:54:43 the platform I got in those four years,
00:54:44 it boosted my personal development and confidence.
00:54:48 And I had some remarkable achievements in those four years.
00:54:51 I was the best sportsman of the year.
00:54:53 I was awarded by the Mr. SMIU,
00:54:56 Ambassador of SMIU.
00:54:57 And in my final year, I was also the President of Sports Society of SMIU.
00:55:02 So, in those four years, I realized how important it is
00:55:06 to set a big goal and target for yourself,
00:55:09 and to live a meaningful life.
00:55:11 And when you set a target for yourself,
00:55:14 then I set a target for myself that I have to establish
00:55:17 a leading IT company of Pakistan
00:55:19 and to provide the platform to the youth in the IT sector.
00:55:22 And when you set a target for yourself,
00:55:25 it doesn't matter what resources you don't have.
00:55:30 What matters is how well you're utilizing the resources you have,
00:55:34 how much you're giving 100% for that goal and achievement.
00:55:37 - So, tell us about yourself. - At that time, I was just having one laptop.
00:55:41 - Okay. - And when I graduated,
00:55:43 I had a laptop and I had to set up my own room
00:55:46 where I could sit and work comfortably.
00:55:48 - So, my mother's sewing machine... - Did your mother sew?
00:55:51 - Yes, she did. - Did she make your clothes or did she help you?
00:55:55 - She made curtains and decorated the house. - Oh, she made the house.
00:55:58 - Okay. - So, I didn't have a table for her sewing machine,
00:56:01 so I was very fond of working properly.
00:56:04 So, I put her sewing machine aside,
00:56:07 put a slab on it, put a good sheet on it,
00:56:10 put the laptop on it and sat on a plastic chair and started working.
00:56:13 And when I graduated, I worked as a project manager
00:56:16 in different firms for three years.
00:56:19 And I would come at night and develop my skills
00:56:22 because I had a goal to make a leading company.
00:56:25 So, as a project manager, I knew that
00:56:27 if I wanted to achieve a task,
00:56:29 I had to make a top-to-bottom hierarchy.
00:56:32 How would I achieve that?
00:56:34 So, when I sat at my table,
00:56:36 I noted that I wanted to make a leading IT company.
00:56:39 So, I started to drop down the idea that I needed a portfolio for it,
00:56:43 I needed skills for it, I needed client reviews for it,
00:56:46 - I needed a platform... - So, you decided what you wanted to do
00:56:49 - and then you started to... - Yes.
00:56:51 - ...take the steps. - Then I started to drop down the idea.
00:56:54 And I designed it properly
00:56:57 and put a gate behind my room
00:57:00 - to show that this is my goal. - So that I could see it again and again.
00:57:03 So, I had these deadlines.
00:57:04 And when I would lie down, I could see it right in front of my bed
00:57:07 that I wanted to achieve this.
00:57:09 And that target was huge.
00:57:10 So, what I would do in the day was,
00:57:12 I would work as a project manager in the office.
00:57:13 And at night, I would develop my skills
00:57:16 - which I had set as my target. - Polish.
00:57:19 I developed my skills in design, development and marketing.
00:57:22 And in the next year and a half,
00:57:24 I started to learn freelancing and provide services to clients.
00:57:27 Now, youngsters make a big mistake here.
00:57:29 They say that they just want to work and provide services.
00:57:33 So, that's not the right way.
00:57:34 First of all, you have to polish your skills.
00:57:36 Because when you start providing services in the market,
00:57:38 you must have a great quality.
00:57:41 And your good reviews matter a lot.
00:57:42 So, when I polished my skills and went there consciously,
00:57:46 I got very good results.
00:57:48 I started getting good reviews from my clients.
00:57:50 They say that mangoes...
00:57:53 - ...when it's cooked, it tastes different. - Exactly.
00:57:55 So, you shouldn't break raw mangoes.
00:57:57 - So, it's very important... - Let the cheese cook properly.
00:58:00 Exactly. You have to wait and watch properly
00:58:02 to know when is the right time.
00:58:04 And you have to take that decision.
00:58:05 - Now, I have to start this. - Yes.
00:58:07 So, after a year and a half, I got confident.
00:58:09 When I started freelancing, I got very good reviews.
00:58:12 I used to work during the day.
00:58:14 And at night, I was providing my studies, learning and services.
00:58:19 Then, I met with an incident.
00:58:21 I was working for 15 to 16 hours non-stop.
00:58:25 At that time, I didn't have much idea.
00:58:28 I was sitting on a plastic chair at night.
00:58:30 One day, my father told me to give the ration to the mosque.
00:58:35 I took a car and went to the mosque.
00:58:37 I tried to pick up the rice sack.
00:58:41 Obviously, I was sitting for a long time
00:58:44 and my back muscles were pulled.
00:58:45 As soon as I pulled it, my back was there.
00:58:47 I mean, I had such a muscle pull that I lied down in the mosque.
00:58:50 - Okay. - They put me in the car and brought me home.
00:58:53 And I was not even able to...
00:58:55 I couldn't even move.
00:58:56 And my sister fed me while I was lying down.
00:58:59 And that day, when you are freelancing,
00:59:01 your time is running.
00:59:03 If you are late even for a second,
00:59:04 you will be late and your profile will be ruined.
00:59:07 So, that day, when I couldn't even move,
00:59:09 my sister fed me.
00:59:11 When I was lying down at night, I told my brother
00:59:13 that when it's time for me to work,
00:59:14 I told him to keep my laptop on my chest.
00:59:17 That night, I was lying on my chest,
00:59:20 my laptop was on my chest and I was working.
00:59:22 I made sure that the client fulfils the commitment
00:59:24 that he has to deliver today.
00:59:25 So, it's very important that when you...
00:59:27 - Commitment. - ...make a commitment.
00:59:29 - When you set such a big goal for yourself, - Yes.
00:59:31 you shouldn't stop working hard and dedicating.
00:59:34 So, Allah Pak did it and my work started getting better.
00:59:36 - Then I... - If we...
00:59:38 You see a lot of celebrities here
00:59:39 and you see their glamorous lives.
00:59:42 So, if I ask them,
00:59:43 how many times have you been sick during the shootings?
00:59:46 How many times has it happened?
00:59:47 Even during the COVID pandemic,
00:59:50 you wore masks and did all those things.
00:59:52 - Did you keep doing your work? - Yes.
00:59:54 - Even during that time... - You have to uphold your commitment.
00:59:56 - Yes. - No matter what situation you are in,
00:59:59 - Exactly. - you can't harm others.
01:00:02 - You have to deliver. - After the death of your husband,
01:00:04 - I mean... - You have to work.
01:00:06 - Absolutely. - You have to stick to the plan.
01:00:08 Like, in every work, and in the theatre,
01:00:10 - the theatre is live, right? - Yes.
01:00:12 So, if an actor falls sick,
01:00:14 - his mother, father, sister die, - Yes.
01:00:17 whatever happens,
01:00:18 - the show must go on. - Go on.
01:00:20 - Exactly. - Even in live transmissions,
01:00:22 - Yes. - I remember during the Ramadan live transmission,
01:00:25 - I got a call. - Yes.
01:00:26 - My sister-in-law passed away. I had to complete the transmission. - Yes.
01:00:29 - What will you tell the world? - Yes.
01:00:31 - We are going home. - Yes.
01:00:32 - So, commitment. - Yes.
01:00:33 - Commitment is a must. - Commitment is a key.
01:00:35 It's a must.
01:00:36 - So, here... - Wow.
01:00:38 - What would you like to say to youngsters - Yes.
01:00:41 from your life story?
01:00:43 What you have achieved, God bless you.
01:00:46 I would like to give the most important message
01:00:47 which I had unlocked in my university life,
01:00:50 - that you have to set a goal for yourself. - Yes.
01:00:53 I'll give a simple example. We use Google Maps
01:00:55 whenever we have to go somewhere.
01:00:57 It's not possible that you don't tell Google Maps
01:00:59 where you have to go and it gives you directions.
01:01:01 - First, you tell it the destination and then it gives you directions. - Yes.
01:01:04 - Exactly. - So, life is like that.
01:01:05 First, you have to decide where you have to go.
01:01:08 Where is my destination? You tell it the destination
01:01:10 and then you will start seeing the roads.
01:01:12 And another thing I have learnt from Google Maps
01:01:16 is that when you tell it where you have to go,
01:01:18 - it often happens that you take the wrong road. - Yes.
01:01:20 So, it tells you the way from there as well.
01:01:22 - You get an alternative. - Yes.
01:01:24 - It shows you alternative routes as well. - Yes.
01:01:25 So, in life, you will face hurdles and failures
01:01:29 when you try to achieve your goal.
01:01:31 But you don't have to stop.
01:01:32 You have to fall and get up again.
01:01:34 You have to learn new routes and new things.
01:01:36 You have to stay stick to your goal.
01:01:37 - You have to reach your goal. - Absolutely.
01:01:38 God willing, you will reach your goal.
01:01:40 - You will set your goal first. - That's a good example.
01:01:42 - Very good. - Yes.
01:01:43 So, this is my message.
01:01:44 You have to stay stick to that.
01:01:45 And today is Qaid-e-Azam Day.
01:01:47 So, the most important message of Qaid-e-Azam is
01:01:49 that with faith, discipline and selfless devotion,
01:01:51 there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.
01:01:53 - Absolutely. - Exactly.
01:01:54 And this is an example for all of us
01:01:55 that we have to follow our forefathers
01:01:57 and take inspiration from them.
01:01:59 And we have to follow their footsteps
01:02:00 to take Pakistan forward.
01:02:01 - Very good. - God willing.
01:02:03 Yes, so, we will have another story from Mir Raza Ali.
01:02:07 - Hello. - Hello.
01:02:08 Thank God.
01:02:09 - How are you? - Thank God.
01:02:10 I asked the question first and you answered it later.
01:02:13 Yes, what is your story?
01:02:16 Basically, I am a fourth year student at IB right now.
01:02:21 - You are still very young. - I am 23.
01:02:24 - I just got 23. - You are growing up.
01:02:26 - Yes. - I am 23 years old.
01:02:27 So, the scene is that we started a waffle cart
01:02:32 when we started it two days before COVID.
01:02:36 Even today, I believe, waffles are a thing in Karachi
01:02:40 that people don't know about.
01:02:41 Yes, it is eaten a lot in the west.
01:02:44 - But now, Pakistanis know about it. - If you look at the desert,
01:02:47 all the weddings and caterings that have taken place
01:02:50 - have only ice cream in the name of desert. - Yes.
01:02:52 And Gulab Jamun, the traditional, antique desert that is in vogue
01:02:56 - has never had any addition to it. - Yes.
01:02:59 - So, waffles... - It was just desserts.
01:03:01 - It was a stigma that it was an expensive product. - They had ice cream.
01:03:04 It is available only at five-star defense restaurants.
01:03:07 And we have always been fond of eating Kerala's sugar.
01:03:09 Everyone tries something new.
01:03:11 So, we used to try waffles a lot.
01:03:13 They were very expensive.
01:03:15 - Did you make them at home? - No, no.
01:03:17 We used to try them outside.
01:03:19 - Okay. - My best friend, Ahmed, and I
01:03:21 were business partners at that time.
01:03:23 But he is unfortunately not available
01:03:24 - due to some private commitments. - Okay.
01:03:26 But we used to try them.
01:03:29 Four years ago, 150-200 was a huge amount for us.
01:03:34 So, we used to go twice and eat half and half.
01:03:37 One day, we went there.
01:03:39 They basically ran out of waffle batter.
01:03:42 So, we forced them to try it from a distance.
01:03:46 - So, he said... - Did you eat it at a restaurant?
01:03:48 - Yes, we ate it at a restaurant. - Okay.
01:03:49 - It was basically food cart. - Okay.
01:03:50 - We ate it on the roadside. - Okay.
01:03:52 So, he said, "Give us five minutes and we'll prepare the batter."
01:03:56 So, we waited for five minutes.
01:03:58 Our observation was that when he was preparing the batter,
01:04:01 we were just standing and watching
01:04:02 what the cost of it was.
01:04:04 Because the recipe was not rocket science.
01:04:08 So, the next day, we went to our home and said,
01:04:11 "Let's try it ourselves today."
01:04:13 "Let's see what the logic is."
01:04:15 "What can be profitable business?"
01:04:18 And we were sitting in the gap year.
01:04:20 So, when we tried, it was not exactly the same.
01:04:23 But we had reached a destination
01:04:25 - in the difference of 80-20. - Yes.
01:04:27 So, we thought we should carry on.
01:04:30 And it was a gap year.
01:04:31 We didn't have any investment from the students.
01:04:35 - So, we used to teach tuitions as well. - Okay.
01:04:37 So, our investment was around 50,000-60,000 rupees.
01:04:41 - We both did half and half. - You started with cards.
01:04:43 And because we are all educated,
01:04:45 we call it a card.
01:04:47 - But in fact, it was a cart. - Okay.
01:04:49 - A cart that is lying on a road. - Yes.
01:04:52 So, we started.
01:04:54 So, on day one,
01:04:56 no one came because no one knew.
01:04:59 Then why did you say, "Mashallah"?
01:05:00 What is this?
01:05:01 - It's a journey. We should appreciate it. - Yes.
01:05:05 So, on day one, we didn't know what we were doing and why.
01:05:08 But our theme is based on Netflix.
01:05:11 If you watch Netflix,
01:05:13 the word "waffle" is derived from Netflix.
01:05:17 Waffles and waffles.
01:05:19 We thought it was a good counter.
01:05:24 In fact, all the flavours on the menu
01:05:26 are based on Netflix shows.
01:05:28 Let's suppose you've heard of Big Bang Theory,
01:05:31 we have Waffle Theory.
01:05:33 If you've heard of Sacred Games,
01:05:36 we have Sacred Waffles.
01:05:37 Because you're educated, you...
01:05:39 We started catching teams from there.
01:05:42 We started.
01:05:44 When we started, COVID came the next day.
01:05:47 Because of COVID, we had a gap of three to four months.
01:05:49 In that gap, there was a rain.
01:05:51 A cart is made of wood.
01:05:54 Everything was destroyed.
01:05:55 So, our initial investment was destroyed before the business was formed.
01:06:01 So, the next day, I guess in September or October,
01:06:04 COVID started to ease a bit.
01:06:06 People were allowed to go out.
01:06:07 So, we decided to relaunch it.
01:06:10 We reinvested Rs. 23,000 and went back to tuition.
01:06:14 Rs. 20,000 was a big amount.
01:06:16 We had to pull in at least Rs. 10,000.
01:06:18 But then again,
01:06:19 we were always thankful to God
01:06:20 that our families and friends supported us a lot.
01:06:22 But we decided to invest on our own
01:06:25 and not burden anyone else.
01:06:27 So, this was our journey.
01:06:29 We started with a cart.
01:06:30 We tried it in Gulshan.
01:06:32 And, thank God, we got a great response.
01:06:34 A lot of celebrities came and waited for an hour.
01:06:38 They waited for an hour.
01:06:39 And we didn't know who they were because of the masks.
01:06:42 So, they came and pleaded with us
01:06:44 to give them to us.
01:06:46 That's how our journey started.
01:06:47 After that, we tried another food cart in the Federal Bay Area.
01:06:51 Then, we tried another food cart in Johar.
01:06:53 And now, thank God,
01:06:54 our biggest branch is in the main Charminar in Bhadrabad.
01:06:57 So, is it still a cart or a shop?
01:06:59 No, it's a proper shop now.
01:07:00 It's a proper dine-in and dine-out.
01:07:02 - And... - You only get waffles there.
01:07:04 No, we started with waffles.
01:07:06 But now, it's a proper dessert bar.
01:07:08 We've launched cheesecakes and tarts there.
01:07:12 We've launched live ice cream.
01:07:13 - Look at this. - It's so good.
01:07:16 And trust me, all the products I've made...
01:07:19 All the products I've made are based on 50-60 products.
01:07:23 I can make all these products anytime, any day.
01:07:26 - It's not like... - You know how to make them?
01:07:28 We were working on Day 1.
01:07:29 I guess, we've worked on it for two years.
01:07:32 They say, "I was alone, but I kept moving forward."
01:07:37 "The caravan kept moving."
01:07:38 So, our friends supported us.
01:07:41 Initially, we were just four or five friends
01:07:43 who used to work on the cart, laughing and having fun.
01:07:46 And I guess, our win is that
01:07:47 if there's no labor in any of our branches,
01:07:51 they know that we can take care of them.
01:07:54 We know how to make better products than them.
01:07:56 - This is something you don't get outside. - Yes.
01:07:59 - It's a lot. - It's a sense of belonging.
01:08:01 - Yes. - Because there's so much calculation going on.
01:08:04 There's no time.
01:08:05 If there's a problem at your house,
01:08:08 your neighbor or your relative will come.
01:08:11 - Exactly. - What's going on at your house...
01:08:12 - Social support is a lot. - Exactly.
01:08:15 - Your friends, your friends in life... - Absolutely.
01:08:17 Those friends are very helpful.
01:08:20 Especially when you're standing on your own.
01:08:22 In fact, I'll appreciate the people as well
01:08:25 for their support.
01:08:26 Two young boys, around 20, 19 years old,
01:08:29 are working on the cart.
01:08:30 I guess, it's a demotivating factor
01:08:33 when people are against you
01:08:36 - working on the cart. - Yes.
01:08:38 Your relative comes and says, "Your kid is on the cart?"
01:08:40 "He's so well-educated, and he's on the cart?"
01:08:41 - That's the situation. - Many people came and supported us
01:08:44 that you both are so good,
01:08:46 you know the universities and you do part-time jobs.
01:08:48 You basically need a circumstance
01:08:51 - if you don't have that. - One more important thing.
01:08:54 In our country, if someone is working part-time
01:08:56 for 14 or 13 years,
01:08:58 they're considered bad.
01:09:00 In the West, no matter how rich a father is,
01:09:03 he has to work for 14 years.
01:09:06 - It's interesting that in the West, - Yes.
01:09:10 - they encourage that. - Exactly.
01:09:12 Exactly.
01:09:13 These people...
01:09:14 This is a very interesting thing.
01:09:16 I'd like to say this in light of the times.
01:09:18 - You're working on home-grown businesses. - Yes.
01:09:21 There are other countries like ours
01:09:23 where investments have come from abroad.
01:09:26 - Yes. - And those companies have taken over us in such a way
01:09:29 that we don't have our own local brands.
01:09:33 We don't have any parallel today
01:09:36 that we don't use this thing from abroad.
01:09:39 So we have our own product
01:09:40 of that standard and level.
01:09:43 So I think it's very important
01:09:45 that you focus on your home-grown businesses.
01:09:49 - You should bring your standards up. - Great.
01:09:52 Don't think that you can run away.
01:09:53 - Go abroad and become a second-class citizen. - Okay, Mr. Javed.
01:09:56 Absolutely. Mr. Javed, I'd like to ask you.
01:09:58 As a parent,
01:09:59 we're not just talking to the kids through this show.
01:10:03 As a parent,
01:10:04 what struggles did you bring up in your kids?
01:10:07 Because they've seen you struggle all your life.
01:10:10 Look, when they saw me,
01:10:14 in the beginning, like Shehzad and Momal,
01:10:16 Momal told me that she was interested in working.
01:10:20 I told her, "Son, once you get married,
01:10:23 "if your husband allows you, you can do it."
01:10:26 - "Then do it." - I put her aside.
01:10:29 It was Shehzad's turn. He said,
01:10:31 "I want to become a doctor."
01:10:33 I said, "Okay, fine."
01:10:34 - I never told him... - Shehzad, like you told me earlier,
01:10:38 - he had an offer for a green card in the USA. - Yes.
01:10:42 So, I don't know, he changed his mind suddenly.
01:10:45 I told him, "Dad, I want to be in the media.
01:10:48 "I want to be an actor."
01:10:50 - I said, "Okay, go ahead." - Yes.
01:10:52 So, you said it, I said, "I won't tell anyone."
01:10:54 Struggle.
01:10:55 - "Just struggle like I did." - Exactly.
01:10:59 Till date,
01:11:00 I've never called anyone for Momal or Shehzad.
01:11:05 - They made their own path. - Yes.
01:11:07 So, Shehzad, in small roles,
01:11:11 he's a new actor, he's becoming a director.
01:11:15 He worked in his drama.
01:11:17 He used to come at night.
01:11:19 He was just...
01:11:20 He knew
01:11:22 that he should not waste his time.
01:11:28 He shouldn't trouble him.
01:11:29 He shouldn't show tantrums.
01:11:31 He shouldn't forget that his father is an actor,
01:11:35 and he should go home.
01:11:37 - Yes. - And he did the same.
01:11:39 - Thank God, he made his place. - Yes.
01:11:42 - He did it with his strength and hard work. - Yes.
01:11:45 - If I had recommended him, - Yes.
01:11:51 he wouldn't have been like this.
01:11:53 And basically,
01:11:55 the kids here
01:11:58 are born with a gold spoon.
01:12:00 Sometimes, parents facilitate them so much
01:12:04 that they become useless.
01:12:07 - That's what I've seen. - I think,
01:12:09 for your ambition,
01:12:12 - hunger is also important. - Yes.
01:12:14 - Thirst. - Yes.
01:12:15 - Exactly. - If you're given everything,
01:12:17 - you don't have any motivation. - Yes.
01:12:20 When you don't have any aim,
01:12:22 like you said, you have to make an aim.
01:12:24 If you don't have anything,
01:12:26 - then you have an aim. - Absolutely.
01:12:28 So, I think, going towards it,
01:12:32 or struggling for it,
01:12:34 or working hard for it,
01:12:35 - it has its own pleasure. - Absolutely.
01:12:38 So, we're celebrating today.
01:12:41 We're celebrating today.
01:12:42 We're celebrating ourselves.
01:12:44 We're celebrating the success of our country.
01:12:47 Whatever it is, good or bad, we've all seen it.
01:12:50 And if you think that there's a time like this,
01:12:53 then it will pass.
01:12:54 A good time will come.
01:12:55 With this hope, we've spent so many years in this country.
01:13:00 So, come.
01:13:01 This is a part of the celebration.
01:13:02 A cutting.
01:13:03 Let's all celebrate together.
01:13:05 Please, we'll go that way.
01:13:07 And...
01:13:09 Maybe if we didn't get this leader...
01:13:10 - Come. - Oh, ho!
01:13:12 - Maybe... - Not maybe, but definitely.
01:13:14 Yes.
01:13:14 So, this country,
01:13:16 we're not breathing in this free air.
01:13:21 - Please come. - You come in the middle.
01:13:23 And if I have more people present on my show...
01:13:27 - Come. - Please come with us.
01:13:29 We're celebrating every Pakistani.
01:13:32 And we'll say that
01:13:35 the hard work...
01:13:37 Please come this way.
01:13:39 - Come this way. - You.
01:13:40 The hard work that can't be done in this country,
01:13:42 can't be done anywhere else in the world.
01:13:45 I've seen many young people
01:13:48 who don't do anything here,
01:13:49 and they say, "Whatever we do, we'll do it abroad."
01:13:52 So, the hard work that can't be done here,
01:13:54 can't be done anywhere in the world.
01:13:58 - And can I add one thing? - Please.
01:14:00 I have a small request to everyone
01:14:03 who are citizens of this country.
01:14:06 - Everyone in the world needs a role model. - Yes.
01:14:10 So, Qaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah's life is a lesson for us.
01:14:15 There are so many lessons and lessons to learn.
01:14:19 Please focus on your studies.
01:14:22 Try to know your founding father a little bit.
01:14:26 What values did he carry when he came to Pakistan?
01:14:31 Study a little bit for yourself.
01:14:33 And in the end, we'd like to congratulate our minority.
01:14:37 - Yes, of course. - Merry Christmas.
01:14:39 - Happy Christmas. - Today, we'd like to congratulate
01:14:42 the Christian community on their Christmas.
01:14:46 - And... - And tell them, Sheikh,
01:14:49 that this country belongs to you as much as it does to the rest of the world.
01:14:52 - Yes. - You're one third of our flag.
01:14:55 - You're not going anywhere. - Of course.
01:14:59 - So, please come. - Come.
01:15:01 - Come. - I think, today,
01:15:03 - the youngsters... - Yes, they should cut the cord.
01:15:06 - Come. - You guys come.
01:15:08 - Come. - If you guys come,
01:15:11 - this country will move forward. - Yes.
01:15:13 - If you guys come, this country will move forward. - Wait.
01:15:16 - You guys come from behind. - It's not a party.
01:15:18 Are you ready?
