Tisca Chopra: The plight of Afghan women and children is dire

Actress Tisca Chopra's 'heart is broken' and it has become extremely chaotic after the Taliban took over Afghanistan and the desperate efforts of the Afghan people to leave the country. Tisca became so disturbed by the situation in Afghanistan that she spent ten years of her childhood in Kabul.

I am very concerned about the situation of women and children in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime as freedom for work, education, etc. does not last long. Many women have fought for development, fundamental rights and other issues for years, but today it has all disappeared, which is really heartbreaking what we are all seeing on the internet and what I am reading about Afghanistan. What I'm seeing is really mind boggling. My whole childhood has been associated with this land.

I understand that this is the betrayal that Afghans are experiencing. What can they do? Saw a photo of Afghans hanging on the wheel of a plane. After this they are scripted below. Have died. It is truly a heartbreaking event. It is better for them to embrace death than to live in that country. Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl.

Pictures Tisca shared on social media when she was a child in Kabul. "Afghanistan is a land of beauty, but on the other hand, it is stormy," Tisca said. Beauty and grandeur have been crushed. How sad to see that. How strange it is that this land is facing a dichotomy right now. It has been in constant turmoil for the last several years. I have many Afghan filmmaker friends who live in different parts of the world. I talked to them. This land has become a nightmare for women and children. The ones I talked to are also very sad.

"I hope that whatever is happening in Afghanistan now and what we are seeing will end anyway," he said. Recalling the days he grew up in Kabul, Tisca says, "Even then, there was an atmosphere of war in the country. I don't remember ever having a war in Afghanistan. I have seen some violent incidents even in my childhood, like a tank burning in the middle of the street, our house was located two streets away from it. We went to someone's house at Christmas where we stayed for three days as curfew was declared in Kabul. This is what I saw when I was growing up in Kabul. My father was the principal at the International School there. We had many good friends in the Indian community there.

We lived in Kabul then. That friendship is still there. When the violence broke out there, we came to India overnight. The embassy sent all the Indians home. The situation is the same as it was when we arrived overnight, but we had time to leave the country. After this I did not get a chance to go to Afghanistan again. Now I don't want to go there for long, 'said Tisca Chopra.
