Speaking at Tedx GCU Lahore, Zoya Nasir asked women to follow their passion with compassion and hard work.

“It is important to realise that most of our struggles are the same. Circumstances and situations might differ. Mostly inflicted by three shells of fear, one within us, one outside of us and one of the society,” the actress said.

Nasir said that powering through these fears made her a good decision maker, letting go of these fears liberated her and brought her heart at peace with her mind.

“Living through my worst fears is my war and the battle continues, but my mind and heart are at peace. I am where I am because I learned to let go and power through,” she concluded.
