Wakhri
A widowed schoolteacher in Lahore becomes a viral sensation overnight when she accidentally unleashes her unabashed opinions on social media. This newfound fame as an unlikely influencer comes with its own challenges as she has to navigate archaic mindsets and secret identities while raising her ten-year-old son in a world where women’s right to having a voice and owning space, physical or online, is a constant challenge.
