INSPIRATION
This film started off when Mariam Mukaty and Iram Parveen Bilal decided to do a film about Parveen Saeed. Now, it is a film inspired by the spirit of Parveen Saeed and her food house, "Khana Ghar."
THE REAL KHANA GHAR
In 2002 Parveen Saeed, a resident of Surjani Town, heard news of a woman who had murdered her two children because she was unable to feed them, and could not bear to watch them slowly starve to death. Parveen thought that surely there is enough food in Pakistan that no one need go hungry, so she started Khana Ghar, a small dhaba in Khuda Ki Basti in Karachi, where she provides a full meal (one roti and saalan) to any one who wants to eat for only 3 rupees.
Since then, Parveen Saeed has opened two more Khana Ghars and maintains a mission of opening one in every slum in Karachi and its outskirts.
