Sharing her views at the event, she sheds light on her character ‘Zoya’ in the movie, calling it depicts the story of thousands of Pakistani girls, and aimed at empowering them.
What’s Love Got To Do With It? is the first rom-com movie of the former wife of Imran Khan, who is also a British screenwriter and film producer, Jemima Goldsmith.
With an out-of-the-box idea, the film titled What’s Love Got To Do With It? has been praised all around the world with its recent premier in Australia. Goldsmith revealed the inspiration behind her project to an Australian television program, and it’s surprising sweet.
Having lived in Pakistan for a good amount of time, the mother of two suggested that the concept of arranged or assisted marriages in the South Asian communities — particularly in Pakistan — allowed Goldsmith to present the idea to a wider audience. Her chief motivation came after she lived in Pakistan and observed “arranged marriage committees, which would look for spouses for people.”
Goldsmith added, “The film kind of started as a joke with my friends who were in their thirties, when i came back to the UK after having lived in Pakistan in those years,” Jemima stated on the Australian show Project TV.
