Pretty Woman
Fakhra Younus was an attractive young woman. If she'd been lucky, she might have become a model. But she grew up in poverty in Pakistan, a conservative country run by powerful men. Her mother was a heroin addict. As a young teenager, Fakhra went to work as a dancing girl in a Karachi red-light district.
In Pakistan, dancing girl is a euphemism for prostitute. She did this to support her family. Then, at the age of 18, Fakhra followed the script of Pretty Woman. In 1997, she married a rich client, Bilal Khar. That was a big mistake.
