AHI is Aamna Haider Isani and will bring to you the life, style and soul of my life.
The word AHI may be the acronym of my name, but it independently stands for a species of Hawaiian Tuna. Ahi is an apt name for me. As a Piscean, fish is my symbol and water my element.
But this channel isn't about astronomy. l'll be tapping into my 20-year career as a fashion journalist to cover fashion as a source of self-expression and body positivity. We'll have a little bit of fun in shows like Fashion Fortnightly. I'll be connecting with fashionable creatures in Meet the Muse and reviewing fun, new products in the short FIR - First Impression Review. Aamna 101 will take you into my life while The AHI Icon will bring you an exceptional person, whose story inspires.

Thanks dear Amna for this interview . It took me back to my childhood memories . My father owned a big land area in Sanghar . The Nomad were from Baluchistan , my father built them permanent houses . Afsheen was 100 % right that sindhi men are bit lazy , their women worked in fields and home and they take money from them and spend it in one day . The women were very talented and made rallies from cutouts ( my mom use to do stitching 🧵 so the left out small pieces were taken by them ) . They made rallies from our softly used shalwars . I still have shirt they did Baluchi karhai on it . They learned sindhi boti from my sister and made bed covers / shirts / Saree etc . I have one dupatta with Sindhi karahi and mirror work . They roll it and put in a grocery bag and take out only that part were they are doing embroidery . When it is complete it will came out very clean .

She never mentioned how much money ladies are making. Sad part is those who have skills are not progressing, but desighners are making good money. In my humble opinion ladies who know this craft should get payment what they deserve.

[@wasilzaki]

Exactly. Thank you for picking that up too. These big earning designers earn a lot but the labor hardly get any. One makes a banglow in DHA and one makes a kacha house in a village. One should go ask their labor hosw they treat them. I'm working on a documentory. Its abiut them.

[@syedaasmawasti9755]

Very very good interview with a most talented lady

[@bilal_ahmed1011]

Such an inspiring interview. What a well spoken, humble and sensitive woman who is talented but also well versed with the impact her work has and can have. Thank you Amna for bringing this interview to us.

[@65RUMA]

Thanks to you Aamna, again you have done a great interview.

[@anuprasad4930]

What a lovely inspiring story this is. I love Afsheen Numair's spirit, strong sense of independence and courage to overcome adversity and help others as well!!! It's amazing to hear such powerful stories. Great work Aamna - this was quite some interview!!

[@samiyaizhar6282]

Wowww lovely lady mashaAllah thanks for such interviews ❤she is very inspirational ❤

[@wasilzaki]

She did not tell the money her labor is making. These big fancy designers earn a lot but the labor hardly get any. One makes a banglow in DHA and one makes a kacha house in a village. One should go ask their labor how they treat them off camera. I'm working on a documentory. Its about the labor behind the big names.

[@positivelyhappymom3238]

Whan an inspirational story of an independent and courageous lady. So much respect for her. Thanks for sharing the story.

[@sanaanwar245]

"AHI" I'm glad this platform shows and encourages #WomenEmpowerment in such a beautiful way !!❤️ Lots of Love Aamna 😘

[@SA-cb1fb]

So nice to see such grounded sensible successful women from our own country. Amna i would like to suggest that u either add urdu subtitles or try conversing in urdu so it can reach a wider national audience. I really admire mira sethi in this regard. She speaks very well and does not mix english with Urdu and vice versa. You can listen to her speak for hours.

[@Marvee78]

Lovely lovely interview. She is absolutely correct about the low quality of the raw material these days. It's really sad. I remember as a child my aunts in Hyderabad would purchase hand woven cotton khaddar (long before khaadi was a thing). That material was so beautiful unique and had a beautiful lustre. They would embroider on the material themselves and have joras made by their tailor. One of a kind joras that even their daughters and daughters-in-law inherited. That cloth was of such excellent quality it has had excellent longevity, but you can't find that hand loomed khaddar anymore 😢.

[@rijanayyer3654]

Wow such an inspirational woman Afsheen is and so are you Aamna MashaAllah

[@NaveedQamar6_8]

Such a inspiring interview. Thanks Amna for interviewing her. What a well spoken woman!! Its not easy to stay grounded in these times when ppl want to buy your craft and she has no greed to mass produce or to be involved in that race . Lovely to hear both of you

[@salimamoosa5465]

Such an inspiring story of Afsheen n all the women who are working in her team. Good work Amna for bringing up these type of motivational stories of our women 👍 Why don’t our main stream media highlight such women n their hard work in our Dramas?

[@sanamonster1]

I clicked on this video just because it was Aamna's video without having any interest in whoever the woman being interviewd is, but My God she is so incredible and this interview was really an eye opener. May Allah give her more strength and also to all of us. She's doing an amazing job and look at her neeyat behind all this 👏
