#BossLady

A BETTER PLACE KHADIJA SHAFQAT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN RECIPE DEVELOPER & FOOD CONSULTANT IN LAHORE. SHE HAS STUDIED LUXURY BRAND MANAGEMENT FROM PARIS AND HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM DESIGNING MENUS FOR FAMOUS RESTAURANTS LIKE WASABI, THANDA GARAM AND MANY MORE. SHE HAS FINALLY OPENED HER OWN CUTE CAFE CALLED DEJA MY PARISIAN PATISSARIE.

What was your “aha!” moment?

I remember very clearly; it was one of the French classes that I took along with a culinary program in Montpellier. I asked the teacher how do you say “already” in French and he replied “Deja” and that’s when I decided Deja it is! I’ve had such moments with my previous projects as well.

Did you ever consider or experience a career change?

Nope! Food is life.

When was the time you felt completely discouraged and how did you push through it?

About two years ago I had to take a life changing decision regarding work and I was lost. So I applied for a culinary and language program in the south of France. I travelled and studied for a while and found clarity and perspective.

It helped.

What was the best advice that your mentor gave you?

It was to never give up and to put yourself before anything else.

she still inspires you?

My Mother in law, she’s straight up gangster!

I hope I can balance between work and family like her one day.

Describe a day in your life Wake up, go to the gym, come home and make breakfast. Get ready for work and then chaos till almost 1 am. From driving around the city to sampling new recipes to procurement of new ingredients, dealing with happy and not so happy customers and endless phone calls all in a day.

" DREAMS DO COME TRUE, JUST DON’T GIVE UP AND JUST DON’T STOP TRYING."

What are the top 3 things you cherish in your life?

Family (not a thing but my most cherished) for things: my bakery, my bows and my journals.

What is #1 thing that is yet to be ticked off your bucket list?

I don’t have a bucket list.

What does nobody tell you about being the boss?

You can never switch off!

Name one boss lady that you admire and how

Complete this sentence: To me, a #BossLady is…”

Balanced and focused!

What did you learn from your biggest failure?

Everything happens for a reason and Allah is the best planner.

Keep praying and working hard for your goals. Dreams do come true, just don’t give up and just don’t stop trying.

Which world leader would you most like to have dinner with?

Rene Redzepi and Samin Nosrat (They aren’t world leaders).

Rene is the chef and co-owner of a restaurant in Denmark that only uses local products in the restaurant. Samin is a chef and writer of the book “Salt Fat Acid Heat” mastering the art of cooking with these elements.

What advice would you give to young girls out there who have dreams and goals like yours?

Set your eyes on your goals, don’t lose focus.

It won’t be the easiest path but the reward is worth it. Stay down to earth and humble. Also one thing to always remember is that it’s okay to say NO! Don’t be afraid, be fierce.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

UP, CLOSE

& PERSONAL

C

We speak to the super talented Faiza Saleem Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m a lawyer turned comedian; I left the field of law to pursue comedy, and it has been quite a few years to that now. Now I am a professional comedian.

Did you always want to become a comedian?

I wanted to become a performer

28

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2019

and it was during one of my theatre performances that I realized I should become a comedian.

Who has been your biggest influence?

I would say different people have been influences to me at different stages of life. But currently it is my husband.

ONE OF THE FIRST FEMALES TO HAVE PURSUED STAND-UP COMEDY IN PAKISTAN, FAIZA SALEEM IS A SOCIAL MEDIA ENTERTAINER WHO LEADS HER OWN GIRLS COMEDY TROOP; THE KHAWATOONS, WHO DO COMEDY ROUTINES AND IMPROV ALL ACROSS PAKISTAN. ASIDE FROM THIS, SALEEM HAS ALSO BEEN ACTIVE ON TELEVISION AS SHE MADE HER FILM DEBUT IN THE COMEDY FILM PARCHI.

What would you say is the most exciting part of your job?

My job itself is very entertaining.

I get to meet so many people; I get to know so many new things.

Two days are never the same.

What does your typical day look like?

My day starts with a black coffee and a few hours of sleep. I have

an unusual sleep pattern sometimes because of work and sometimes I stay up late for no reason then end up cleaning my room and rushing to work, and also running some errands for home. The day ends with dinner with my husband and creating content late in my office at home.

I usually create content late at night.

Tell us about any challenges you have come across since starting your career.

There have been so many challenges.

People also ask me what challenges I have faced when I started this career?

I would say the challenges are ongoing.

Having a stable and a stable income out of an unstable job and unstable income was the toughest challenge I guess. Also doing comedy in a male dominated society was a hurdle. In addition to that, managing a large team as they all have their own hurdles is also a tough job.

Are you working on any exciting new projects currently?

Two minutes with Faiza Saleem is my favorite these days.

Tell us what it has been like working with your girls troop; The Khawatoons.

Working with the Khawatoons has been very exciting as we have completed three years now and I’m very proud of that because usually troops don’t last that long.

In addition to that, maintaining a friendship with my troop as a leader isn’t an easy

task. I have seen them grow, and I take a pride in that.

Do you write your own routines? Where do the ideas come from?

I create my own content, my ideas comes from my real life incidents. Last night I made a video on how Desi people say after they come from a trip’ and it started with me commenting on my Dubai trip.

What are your feelings about the comedy scene in Pakistan? Is it a growing industry?

It is definitely a growing industry. I‘ve also seen many people choosing this field as they think it’s a trend. I believe that primarily you should be passionate about this field, everything else is secondary because if you’re not passionate about it, it can’t last for long.

Do you have any other passions or talents?

So all my passions and talents are combined in this. I like writing, performing and making fun of everyone in a way that it’s funny and I’m also very open about others making fun of me.

horoscope

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) You will be faced with choices yet again, Aries. But is everything that looks good on paper necessarily good for you? That’s something you want to consider before you say yes to a project you have a nagging feeling about. Steer clear of short-term gains and keep the long-term vision in mind. This will help you move forward with dignity and grace. On the upside, your relationship with your co-workers could improve manifold this week. Say yes to dinner. Getting to know them in an informal space could be the key to breaking the ice.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) Oh, the perils of investing your heart in matters of the head! Maintain a strict boundary between the personal and professional and promise to safeguard your interest no matter what. If things go south (which they are likely to), you’re going to have to clean up the mess.

Remember, while there is a lot that free will can alter, there are certain things that are beyond our control. Learn when to take charge and when to surrender to the flow. This will change your life, Scorpio.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) Do you believe in maintaining a boundary between the personal and the professional?

Professionally speaking, this is a 10/10-week for you—one that promises to bring accolades and recognition for all the work you’ve been putting in. On the personal front however, it could spell drama with a capital D. Be mindful of your choice of words both online and offline. If and when things go south, you’ll be the one who has to clean up the mess.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) There are no shortcuts to success, Sagittarius. Make your way to the finish line, despite the many adversaries, and do it with joy. Reminding yourself of why you started this journey is the only way to be a ray of sunshine in a dreary world. The good news: you’ll complete this difficult karmic cycle by the end of week, and will be ready to transition to a better place.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) After a period of lull, you are feeling a surge of dynamic energy. Gemini, shape shift into the powerhouse you are meant to be. This is a time to experiment and make your larger-than-life dreams a reality. Remember, not everybody is going to be on board with this 2.0 version of you. They don’t have to. Be your most weird and wonderful self despite it all. What you need to keep in mind when the to-do list is a page long? Getting adequate rest at the right time.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Weekly reminder, Cancer: nothing comes for free, and certainly not your services. Are you compromising on your needs yet again? Is it that feeling of inadequacy within that you’re trying to fill? Remember who you are and what you being to the table. This will prevent you from making the self-sabotaging decisions. PS. You will see your life transform beautifully and rapidly once you master this soul lesson.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) It’s easy to get caught in the rat race, given the unrealistic expectations you are dealing with at the moment. The fine art of balance requires you to have one foot grounded in your material reality, as the other explores the depth of the spiritual and creative. Set an hour aside each day to get the good juju going. Sing, dance, journal, paint, cook and meditate. Engage in activities that raise your vibrations and make you feel like the best version of yourself. PS. Patience is a virtue when certain things in your material reality are beyond your control.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Two words, Virgo: creative destruction. If there’s anything your path has taught you, it’s that everything transpires for a reason, including the so-called bad stuff. This phase of your life is making you aware of the clutter you have been lugging around, and the parts of you that no longer fit in the new narrative. Let the truth help you journey back to yourself. You are in the process of becoming the most empowered version of you.

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) The week ahead could be challenging in more ways than one. Go against the voice in your head that says you are fighting a losing battle and stand your ground. It may take you a little longer to get to the desired destination, but that doesn’t mean you won’t eventually make your way there. Be warned; not everybody who exchanges hellos with you in the bay, and compliments you on your lipstick, has your best interests at heart. Be careful of who you associate with, Libra. Maintaining an air of mystery can be alluring in so many ways.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Out of the darkness and into the light, Capricorn. This is a big, big week for you, career-wise, and it comes with the promise of significant returns. Let’s just say you will have more than one reason to put your skills to test soon too. If you’re somebody who shies away from talking about her work, challenge yourself to be your own brand ambassador. Chance encounters with an influential circle at the end of the week could just help you level up.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) Think long-term, Aquarius. It’s not just about making a few bucks now. It’s about leaving a legacy behind, one that will speak volumes about you long after you are gone. But that doesn’t mean this week won’t bring financial gains as well. Projects you’ve been working on for a long time now are moving towards a fruition period. Friday could bring a challenging situation, one that could make a carefully laid out plan fall apart. Having a plan B in place from the very beginning to ensure things run smoothly.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) You can have anything you want if you set your mind to it. Pisces, your outer reality is proof.

But what are you compromising in order to manifest your vision? Reflecting upon this will help you realize you’ve got more to lose than gain in this scenario. If you’ve struck a deal with the devil, sever all ties starting now.
