The popular fiction of Urdu language is fortunate because it has writers like Razia Butt. The potential of Razia Butt cannot be undermined. Just because someone’s novels touch the hearts of masses, does not imply that they are too simple. In fact, it is even harder to produce bestseller novels.
In the words of W. Somerset Maugham, "No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood."
The above quotation holds true for the Urdu bestselling novels too.
The life of Razia Butt is spent studying Urdu and writing in Urdu. From her very early childhood, Razia Butt loved to read Urdu novels. She was a very ardent reader. In her childhood, she used to buy novels whose diction she was too young to understand. Her elder sister used to accompany her in the reading sessions so that she would explain the story, plot, and diction to the little sister.
Razia Butt has produced some of the best Urdu novels. Her novels were a unique blend of love, romance, and social values. The girls simply just love the heroes of the novels by Razia Butt. Razia Butt’s hero is always very caring, very loving, very romantic, and very expressive. Being with a hero of Razia Butt’s novel is just like living with a dream hunk. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that Razia Butt’s Urdu novels are always the best sellers.
Contrary to the popular belief, Razia Butt’s Urdu novels have deep moral and ethical values as well. Razia Butt always allows movie or drama serial adaptation of her novels. This is another reason why every Pakistani is familiar with Razia Butt’s name. Those who have not read her novels have seen their movie or the drama serial adaptations. Most famous on-screen stories of Razia Butt have been Naila, Saiqa, Shabbo, and Najia.
Razia Butt is a very graceful elderly woman now. Although, she has been an ardent reader however, now she says that she is not interested in reading anymore. The reason behind this is that her eyesight is very weak now. Now Razia Butt sees cultural and literary programs on television to quench her literary thirst. Her novels will always be an enjoyable read and a great source of inspiration for the new writers.
