Mehvish isn’t alone in Kashimir, though.
A number of women lately are breaking stereotypes and venturing into fields traditionally dominated by men. Mehvish, too, is contributing to change the dynamics.
“No one can stop you expect yourself, work hard and realize your dream, don’t think what people will say, if you do good or bad people would talk, so set your dream and go on,” said Mehvish to those girls who want to start their own business.
