Afghanistan - TV judge in spotlight
Print Edition
Judges on TV talent shows always attract controversy for making or breaking the careers of desperate wannabes — but for Aryana Sayeed, the job is also a fight for Afghanistan’s future.
The glamorous 28-year-old singer is a judge on worldwide hit series “The Voice” that began in Kabul in May, immediately attracting huge audiences and an array of angry critics.
As a symbol of female independence in a strictly conservative Islamic country, Aryana receives regular death threats and lives in fear of being kidnapped by religious extremists. “I’m here to make a difference for women,” she said. “I want women to have rights, to talk freely, to walk freely.”
