Here's how Sony SAB’s Haseena Malik aka Maddam Sir became every little child’s inspiration

Since its launch, Sony SAB’s Maddam Sir has managed to underline pivotal issues, by weaving them seamlessly into storylines and conveying the messages subtly. In the upcoming track, the show reflects yet again on the critical effects of bullying and how it can leave a long-term impact. Today the conversation about bullying and the impact of it on a child’s mind is talked about extensively, yet the practice continues. Haseena gets a new case where Amrita, a teenager, gets hold of sleeping pills with the intention to end her life owing to the massive performance pressure due to exams. When Haseena meets Amrita’s family, she gets triggered by the presence of Amrita’s brother who has bullied her in the past.

Haseena, who is a confident boss lady now, was a vulnerable young girl, bullied by her peers for not doing well in studies. The narrative of bullying and its far-reaching effects on young minds cannot be estimated and, in some cases, it pushes people to take drastic steps. Even as an accomplished police officer, Haseena felt weak when she came face to face with her past. Karishma confronted her and urged her to get involved citing that the former owes it to her younger self. Hence, our boss lady takes a courageous step, and she takes up the case, helping Amrita realize her self-worth and also overcome her own trauma.

Will Haseena be able to get past her own trauma? Will she be able to convince Amrita?

Gulki Joshi, who essays the role of Haseena Malik, says, “I’m glad that Maddam Sir talks about issues that bother children and hinder their overall growth. Bullying in any situation should be stopped immediately because everyone’s tolerance level is different, and you never know what kind of impact it might leave. We have a good ratio of young viewers and topics like bullying, performance pressure is every child’s agony. It's time we teach our kids that there is more to life than exams and grades and instead encourage them to appreciate their pace. Instead of diminishing their confidence, we should uplift them and encourage them to do better next time. Active steps should be taken against bullies. A piece of paper can't decide anyone’s worth and we, at Maddam Sir, want to do our best to spread awareness on this issue. We want both parents and kids to benefit from this and be mindful of their actions going ahead.”
