Rewritten Article:
A Public Exchange
A recent commentary by actress Elham Pavehnejad on the professional choices of artists has sparked a notable response from her colleague, Hengameh Ghaziani. The exchange, unfolding in media interviews and on social platforms, has opened a dialogue on the nature of artistic work and personal conviction within the cultural sphere.
The Initial Commentary
In an interview, Pavehnejad shared her perspective on artists who have chosen to step back from their professional careers. She expressed the view that such decisions should be grounded in deep thought rather than emotion. “I do not believe that not working is a sign of protest or struggle,” Pavehnejad stated. She emphasized her belief in working with integrity and selecting projects that align with one’s principles, suggesting that reactive decisions can distance individuals from thoughtful reflection.
While she clarified that she respects the personal decisions of her peers, her comments nevertheless ignited a wave of reactions online.
A Firm Rebuttal
Actress Hengameh Ghaziani, who has not been active in film or home cinema for several years, issued a pointed public response to Pavehnejad’s characterization of such career choices as “emotional.”
In a social media post, Ghaziani challenged this notion, writing, “Emotion?? Lack of thought?? Our people??” She contended that the very freedoms enjoyed by artists today were born from profound convictions. “We are happy that you are working more and have more freedom in your attire,” Ghaziani addressed Pavehnejad, “but please respect us as well and do not comment so much about the people and us.”
In a follow-up post, she further clarified her stance, asserting that those who stand by their decisions do so with resolve. “We are, by God, calm and proud,” Ghaziani stated, questioning the focus on artists who have made different professional choices.
A Broader Conversation
This exchange highlights an ongoing discourse within the artistic community regarding professional pathways. It underscores a diversity of viewpoints on how personal belief intersects with public artistic work, reflecting a complex and multifaceted cultural landscape.
