Viral Video: Yousha Hussain is pursuing his goal of becoming a belly dancer in Pakistan. The 22-year-old claims to have grown up watching Hindi films, especially the ones with dances to the music. He also took inspiration from the Indian belly dancer Eshan Hilal. However, he encountered a lot of resistance when he announced his desire to pursue a career as a professional dancer because singing and dancing are taboo in Pakistan’s deeply conservative society.
Dancing is a big taboo in Pakistan-Hussain
Hussain said, ‘Dancing is a big taboo in Pakistan. No one wants you to become a dancer, whether you’re a boy or a girl. To pursue this as a career is really challenging. Despite how difficult it is, I am doing it. I’m not sure what kinds of jeers I’ve heard.’
Defying societal norms to pursue passion
‘It was quite difficult at first.’ He said, ‘My dad was not pleased with me. He avoided me for a lengthy year of communication. He even hit me for wanting to pursue a career in dance. The assistance I required was initially lacking. But when he appeared on TV shows and received some recognition, his father finally gave in.’ In the above video He is beautifully dancing to beats.
