FROM A BAR GIRL TO A SCRIPT WRITER [A Unique Story]

[A Unique Story]
Shagufta Rafique, never thought that a women who is working as a bar girl from 9pm to 3am in a hotel in dubai, will become one of the good script writers of world’s 2nd biggest film industry, Bollywood.

She has left behind that life where she use to work in a room full of smoke and vine’s smell, and now she is living a cool relaxed life in Mumbai.

She was the famous bar girl and local singer in Mumbai, then some people who were members of underworld, took her to dubai, illegally and there also she started working as a bargirl.

She says that in her life, the experience of being a bar girl is like a bad mark, I’ll try to remove it but I know its not so easy, she further says that her mother wanted her to be an actress like her elder sister sayeeda, but she always wanted to be a writer, and today she has fulfilled her dream.

She has written the story of “Who Lamhe” and “Awarapan” for the bhatt camp and currently she is working on a story of a film, which is “Kajrare”, pooja bhatt’s next. Her stories are different from all other professional degree holder script writers.

Before becoming the bar girl she approached many film makers of bollywood, but she didn’t got any work and was rejected. After making money from dubai she started meeting the film makers again to give her a chance, she asked Mahesh Bhatt for work, but Mahesh refused by saying that he himself writes stories for his films, and he doesn’t needs any writer.

She thought to work again in beer bars, but suddenly all bars got banned in Mumbai, she went again to bhatt, she didn’t got work but this time bhatt asked her to give some advices for his stories. One day the director of movie “Kalyug”, Mohit Soori, asked her to write just two scenes for Kalyug, because the writer was ill, she gave more than 100 %, and that two scenes became enough to impress Mohit Soori, and she got “Who Lamhe” and “Awarapan” in her hands, On Merit.

Today she has every thing, a respected job, a nice home in a good environment in Mumbai, every facility, but she can’t celebrate, just because of her hellish past.
