Atiqa Odho

Anyone has the sound track or ever heard if there is a sound track for the Drama Dasht? of so please email me and let me know at voodimac@rocketmail.com
thanks

Atiqa has remained active and succesful through personal strength and by NOT giving in to critics and pressure to be someone she is not!! She is her own woman and I admire her for that!
As for so many divorces in entertainment business ... maybe the men cannot stand the success and public notice of their wives .... Our men seem to have great difficulty for attention given to their wives and for the success of them too .... and the same for the wives for famous husbands. It is a career that takes a toll !!!
I agree ... this picture is not very flattering to the lady. the best collection available online is on janubaba website ....

Oh come on, its like Attiqa Odho hired you as her official publicist. She is pretty but then this is the only thing she is. If you want to mention Sitara and Mehrun Nisa mention Sajjid Hassan or Sania Saeed. Attiqa Odho was just a show piece, forget the acting she couldnt even speak well.
And show piece is what she has always been let it be dramas or movies, coz SHE JUST CANT ACT!

She is one of the talented actresses of Pakistan. She is not looking very busy in Dramas and movies now a day, I have no cause of it. Her talent is not shown by the tv. Which factors are involved in her reduced participation in tv programmes is out of my thought. Is she tired of Pakistani tv? Would she be in the people who would participate in all the work done by Pakistani artists in bollywood? I know many tv and film artist who don`t show themselves to tv but come outside when there is a very large project (may be not for them).

should read,

Atiqa Odho is one of the most elegant Pakistani ladies in the entertainment industry. She seems to be getting better with age. She has a sixteen year old son. I couldn`t have guessed.

P.S. why are so many of the women in the media industry divorced........

Oh please...young should mean under forty...what is wrong with you ageists?

kabir saab,
jis tarah aap atiqa kai seher mai mudhosh haiN...maybe the writer is also under a spell...
:)

I take back my words about her being a good compere. I just saw a glimpse of her with Art Malik and she just looked ravishing in that second. I didnt watch the whole show.

You cannot learn a language perfectly with accent unless you are born in it. I have been living in England for the last forty years and my children who are born and educated here make fun of my English. They have been trying to teach me for years the pronunciations of the simple words like Three, Interesting, Status Quo, etc. I just cannot get my tongue around these words. Atika Odho faces the same problem and I think author is either naïve or got carried away and overrated her educational abilities.

Adika communicates reasonably well in Urdu though there are couple of problems there too. If we compare her with Bashara Ansari for example, Adika cannot speak Urdu with proper Urdu accent like Bashara does but then again almost all TV hosts suffer from this problem and therefore it is acceptable in the media community.

However, what is not acceptable is that Atika trys to plug in English words and phrases in her speech, i.e. she replaces Urdu words with English words in her conversation; for example, ham BREAK (Vaqfa) laitay hain. And she is not the only guilty one here; unfortunately all Pak celebrities and educated people do that and feel proud of doing it. Main un ko PARDON nahain karun ga. Oh Man, Oh Man, Oh Man; Why? Iqbal, Mir, Ghalib, Mohd Rafi, Talat Mahmood and many more wrote the word ‘Mouaff’ in stones, in waves in Qawalis, in Shair –o –Shaire in Adab; is it not good enough for God sake?!

May I take this opportunity to convey this message to Pundits and Thakars of the Pak Radio, TV and film industry please stop mixing Urdu and English languages and save Urdu from destruction. And stop teaching young kids words like: Dad, Mum, Uncle, Thank you, I am sorry, O.K., Etc. Are you ashamed of your own language?

Above is better explained in an article called “Junk Urdu Phenomenon”. Any one interested can send me your email address and I will email the article to you. My email address is given elsewhere on Chowk.com.

I must say, Atika Odho is a glamorous lady, which she knows it and she flaunts it and she looks elegant doing it. She is a Pakistani Sophia Lorren of our time and If my wife would let me, I would like to marry Atika and buy her one of her ‘khabun ka ghar’ in Islamabad she is currently advertising on ARY.

Never thought i was missing on a GODesssssss!!!!!!!! of Pakistan Television .........
Ah! is that the best picture of ur green-eyed GODessss :)........better upgrade yourself

Atiqa Odho is a fairly good actress--I wouldn`t call her great--but she can hold her own. As for the compering part though, she just can`t do it. At least not in English. I am surprised therefore that the writer claims she was schooled abroad and had to learn Urdu late in life. At the Rhythms of the Indus show (Royal Albert Hall) in London last summer, she and Art Malik had the job of master/mistress of ceremonies. All I can say is that without Art Malik, it would have been very hard for Atiqa. She just could not speak English without reading it off the pre-prepared text. And, the accent clearly indicated a convent schooling and I at least could not detect any western accent--American or British, which is why I am a little surprised at the writer`s portrayal.

Ifti:

The Educational Time period of Benazir is summarized below:

The daughter of former Pakistani premier, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto was educated in the west, notably at Harvard University, and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. She temporarily left Harvard for New York City in 1971, when India sent troops into East Pakistan -- soon to be called Bangladesh -- and her father, as West Pakistan`s foreign minister, traveled to the United Nations to resolve the issue. Benazir Bhutto joined her father in New York City and acted as a kind of assistant to him. This seems to have been a formative experience for her, in that watching her father in action brought her out of the academy and showed her the ways of power politics. Her remaining years in the United States included active participation in various social causes.

During her time at Oxford, she was president of the Oxford Union, after the election had to be re-run because she accused her rival of illegal canvassing. Her entire undergraduate career was fuelled by controversy, coming in the middle of a period when her father`s administration was being challenged both at home and abroad.

After graduating, she returned to Pakistan, but, in the course of her father`s imprisonment and execution, she was placed under house arrest. Having been allowed, in 1984, to go back to the UK, she was leader in exile of her father`s party, but was unable to make her political presence felt in Pakistan until the death of General Zia ul-Haq.

What`s with this tribute to Atiqa?
She is a good actor, no doubt...but i would agree with irfan (#8), there`s no balance in the article. It`s FULL of praise and praise alone. A more balanced and detailed writeup might have been better.
and #4 by Saminasha...Atiqa is definitely not among the young artists who are contributing towards the media industry of Pakistan. We have a lot of young talent in the form of actors, musicians, writers and artists who are doing big. Check out bandbaja.org for reading profiles of young musicians in Pakistan.

Is it true that Benazir never completed her education at Oxford?

Irfan ahmad,
your picture is great !!
what was the occasion ?

Escapist,
Benazir also went to Oxford. Never got any degree , never completed her education and God only knows what her grades were...She wasnt even qualified to be a BA ( Nawaz Sharif too ) when Musharraf made a bachelor degree a prerequisite..

so just being in an american school doesnt mean a thing...
hamay tau diplomay ki photcopy dikhaO...
