For one thing, they weren’t the typical ones of the giggly girl next door. Her first play was entitled Kurbatein aur Faslay (KAF) based on Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons followed by Parchaiyan (based on Henry James’ The Portrait of a Lady), which was followed by Teesra Kinara.Īll three roles set her apart from her counterparts. It is a performance that still creates flutters amongst audiences when the play is repeated on television, as Kazmi seemingly effortlessly brings to life the complexities and fears plaguing Rand’s intriguing heroine.Īlthough Kazmi began her career as a television newsreader after she had moved to Islamabad from Karachi with her family, “out of sheer boredom and the insistence of a family friend”, she swiftly steered towards acting. Perhaps one of the most outstanding portrayals of the enigmatic Dominque have been brought to the screen by none other than Sahira Kazmi, in the 1970s PTV play, Teesra Kinara. Unemotional yet passionate, cynical yet idealistic, she is one of the most memorable and complex characters ever created. Dominique Francon, the beautiful heroine of Ayn Rand’s phenomenal novel, The Fountainhead, was a woman who sets out to destroy the love of her life, Howard Roarke, because she feels that a great man like him cannot survive in a depraved society.
