Award for actor in serial on femicide

KARNAL: Meghna Malik, better known as Amma ji, the leading character in ‘‘Na Aana Iss Des Laado’’ — a TV soap on female foeticide and the problems of women in a male dominated society — is known for her negative character, but she says girls are part of her life.
The softspoken TV actress was in Karnal to receive the Haryana Institute of Fine Arts (HIFA) 'Karamboomi' award for her contribution towards art and culture.
For her, playing the role of Amma ji is a way of giving back to her state, Haryana and its language. Expressing this sense of pride, she said, "I am happy because Haryanvi has been used as a fun language as well as for bringing out the heart-rending moments." Pointing out that her portrayal has given her a chance to do something against one of the biggest problems of India, the actor said the soap reflects the good as well as bad in society and gives us a chance to improve.
