What would Haseena Moin’s Tanhaiyan look like today? The women in her dramas were independent characters that found their strengths and rose to tackle their own issues Ever since playwright Haseena Moin’s sudden demise, I have been thinking about everything that our nation gained through the world that she created for us on television. Her dramas taught us lifelong lessons on empowerment, strength, freedom of choice, romance, relationships, friendships and above all basic human integrity. My thoughts immediately went to Tanhaiyaan that aired on PTV back in 1986, where Moin’s script was brought to life by late Shehzad Khalil. She had written dynamic, robust characters that actually grew with the drama and had depth.
