LAHORE – Punjab Council of the Arts has taken action against three stage actresses over “objectionable” dance performances in theatre halls, issuing them notices and demanding explanations within two days.
The notices were issued to Urooj Khan, Nayab Khan and Masooma Malik, with the actresses directed to submit their responses at the Punjab Council of the Arts office in Shadman, Lahore.
Authorities tighten scrutiny of performances staged at local theatres, with the arts council making it clear that performances considered inappropriate will not be tolerated.
