Bee Gul (Urdu: بی گل) is a Pakistani screenwriter and director. She wrote films and TV plays like Talkhiyaan,[1][2] Pehchaan,[3] Kaun Qamar Ara, Firdous ki Dozakh,[4] most notably Dar Si Jaati Hai Sila and Raqeeb Se for HUM TV.[5]

With a pen sharper than wit itself, Bee Gul weaves tales that pierce the veil of reality, exposing the complexities of human experience. Her characters, like tangled threads in a weaver's loom, embody the contradictions that color our lives - love laced with bitterness, tradition wrestling with progress.[6] Her work is often described as artsy.[7] Gul's artistic lens focuses on the plight of the Pakistani woman, a warrior navigating a society steeped in unspoken rules. Through her heroines, she celebrates the indomitable spirit that burns bright even in the face of oppression. [8]

In 2024, her short film "Jamun Ka Darakht" (The Java Plum Tree) won the Best Social Justice Short Film award at World Film Festival in Cannes. The film also garnered recognition at the Vancouver International Movie Awards for Best Human Rights Short Film and the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival Indie Short Fest, solidifying Bee Gul's international acclaim.[9]
