Mawra Hocane is all about female empowerment. The actress recently talked about the importance of young girls having financial autonomy in an Instagram video. “I was taught at a very young age that for girls, financial independence is very important,” she said. 

“You don’t understand that in your childhood,” she said while she reflected on her upbringing. “Urwa and I were school going girls when mama pushed us to do theater. It helped us build a work ethic. It becomes ingrained in you from a young age to make yourself useful, to work hard.”

Mawra had an important message for girls that look up to her. “To all the girls watching, I would say there is nothing better than financial independence,” she said.
