The Faiz Festival held in Lahore brought together a number of stars in celebration of literature and art. Indian filmmaker and actress Nandita Das flew to attend the event, marking her return to the city after five years. In a carousel shared by Amar Khan on Instagram, Nandita posed together with Amar, Samiya Mumtaz, and Nadia Jamil.

"There are days when I feel absolutely blessed and lucky to be in the company of the greats –powerhouse artists and the purest of souls. This night was all about music, poetry, and Faiz," Amar wrote, expressing her deep admiration for the artists she posted photos with.

Even Nadia Jamil reflected on the night as she shared a collection of photos with "soul sister" Nandita on Instagram. "What a fun, love-filled day of catching up and connecting. Time flowed effortlessly. I realised I need to find a way to go to India to meet my loved ones more often!" she wrote.

The Faiz Festival also invited the support of notable artists, such as Usman Peerzada, Samina Peerzada, and Atul Tiwari. In a post shared to Instagram, Nandita expressed her enthusiasm at attending an event that brings together artists from both sides of the border, "Art and artists can heal and build bridges even when there are deep wounds and opaque walls."
