Nafisa Ali Battles Stage 4 Cancer

“Life in a Metro was again a very important film because the message there, again is that if, as an elder, you are singled out or left alone in today’s world, why should you be alone? that’s why I did Life in a Metro. And there are many people whom I’ve met at airports and at functions who told me that after seeing this movie, they allowed their single parent to remarry. So the importance of doing cinema like that is very important for me because you only think about yourself. the importance of understanding somebody else’s point of view can only be visualised through cinema that portrays a seriousness of purpose.”

“I always believe that a human being is put on this earth for a purpose. And it’s important that every human being does good for this planet, because it’s only one little planet in the cosmos, in the universe. And cancer is something that tears families apart. It tears your financial balance apart. It is the scariest journey that I have ever been on because earlier I could fight for the world; now I’m fighting for my life.”
