Shaguftta’s story of shame to fame is no less than a film. It has become very common to gain fame in the era of social media. But what is the meaning of real success, this film shows the life of author Shagufta Rafiq. The childhood’s childhood was spent in extreme poverty. The hit of the time pushed him into prostitution. He went by as a bar dancer. But he did not allow his hobby to tell the story from childhood. His talent brought him to the city of dreams. Where he wrote stories of Superhit films to make Emraan Hashmi and Aditya Roy Kapoor a superstar. Shagufta Rafiq wrote stories of films like ‘Woh Lamhe’, ‘Murder 2’, ‘Jannat 2’, ‘Aashiqui 2’, ‘Jism 2’ and ‘Raj 3D’. If she could write the best stories for films, the credit goes to her long struggle and life experiences. Shagufta was adopted by a woman related to a rich Calcutta businessman. According to media reports, Shagufta and his family became very poor after the death of the businessman. When Shagufta turned 11, she earned money by dancing to private parties to help her mother. He got 700 to 800 rupees per night earlier. Shagufta Rafiq, who remembers the old days in a conversation with a channel, said I realized how uncertain women are long ago. Money decides who will get respect … who is not. ‘Shagufta had a relationship with a rich man at the age of 17, which he described as the worst phase of his life. She remained in a bad relationship for a long time to get stability. When she got out of it, she became trapped in prostitution. In the end, he had to lose a lot to run away. Shagufta, as he expressed his pain, said it was an evil cycle of my life. To get out of this, I got stuck in the issue of prostitution. To get away, I had to become a bar dancer again. Then I ran off Mumbai and reached Dubai. Despite all the problems, his passion for storytelling did not end. But it was difficult to get a position in Bollywood. Shagufta did not take any formal training. He was initially rejected by various production houses and TV series. He said, “I went to the production house and TV series to ask for work as a writer, but no one wanted to work with me without experience.” The author said that his life changed when Mahesh Bhatt’s production house ‘special films’ made him work. Here he was given the full opportunity to show his talent. He wrote scripts from various superhit films. His popularity has increased over time. Today he is a well -known name in the film world.
