The Punjab Council of the Arts has issued notices to three stage actresses over allegedly objectionable dance performances at theatre halls. The actresses include Urooj Khan, Nayab Khan and Masooma Malik. The council has directed them to explain their performances within two days.
The notices require all three actresses to submit their responses to the Punjab Council of the Arts office in Shadman, Lahore. Authorities have asked them to explain their conduct before deciding on further action. Masooma Malik is among the performers who must respond to the notice within the given deadline.
The action comes as the council increases its scrutiny of stage performances across local theatres. Officials have stressed that performances considered inappropriate will not be tolerated. The move aims to ensure that theatre productions follow the standards set by the relevant authorities.
Punjab Council of the Arts Director of Operations Mughis Bin Aziz said such performances were unacceptable in theatre halls. He warned that artists could face strict action over irresponsible conduct. The council has asked the three actresses to provide their explanations within the specified period.
Two-Day Deadline for Responses
Urooj Khan, Nayab Khan and Masooma Malik have been given two days to respond to the notices. Their replies will allow the authorities to review their explanations before deciding on the next steps. The council has not announced any final penalties against the actresses so far.
The notices represent an administrative step following concerns about the reported performances. The actresses are expected to present their positions to the relevant officials. Any further action will depend on the authorities’ review of their responses.
The Punjab Council of the Arts has indicated that it will continue monitoring stage performances. Its officials have warned that artists may face consequences if their conduct violates applicable requirements. However, the final outcome of the current matter remains unclear.
Masooma Malik and the two other actresses now face a deadline to explain their performances. The council is expected to consider their responses before determining whether additional measures are necessary. No further details about the specific performances or any final decision were provided in the available report.
