    Faysal Quraishi reveals that Indian streets empty out for Pakistani dramas

    Actor Faysal Quraishi recently appeared on LetsTalk with Sadia Salman. The star talked about how much Indians love Pakistani dramas.
    “I was told by a famous Indian choreographer that when Meri Zaat Zara e Benishan and Humsafar were airing, streets in India would shut down. People loved them that much! He shared this with me personally, and I was amazed by the impact our Pakistani dramas had across the border.”

    While discussing the credibility of awards in the entertainment industry, Faysal said, “I believe that awards should be judged by industry experts, not by audience votes. Globally, credible awards are given by juries comprising field experts. I’d be proud to receive an award decided by experts, not just based on popularity. Currently, audience-based awards often favor those with massive followings, rather than true talent.”

    Love knows no bounds: Khushhal Khan teases fans with storyline of ‘Crossroads’

    Famous actor Khushhal Khan, known for his roles in movies like ‘Midsummer Chaos’ and ‘Poppay Di Wedding,’ recently shared some exciting news on Instagram. He posted the first poster of his upcoming movie called ‘Crossroads,’ where he stars alongside Mamya Shajaffar.

    Directed by Fahad Noor and written by Eric Berg, ‘Crossroads’ is expected to bring something fresh to Pakistan’s film industry. Khan teased fans with bits about the story in his Instagram caption, saying, “Love has no limits, and neither does our tale.”

    He added, “Brace yourself for a groundbreaking cinematic experience as we proudly unveil Pakistan’s first vertically shot film series. Immerse yourself in the whirlwind of emotions as Burak and Haya navigate the unpredictable twists and turns of love. With dialogues available in over 20 languages, this is a tale that transcends borders and proves some emotions never die. Stay tuned for a journey like never before.”

    Khushhal himself has views on relationships that are just as romantic as the characters he plays. While appearing on a ‘Mazqrat’ show hosted by Imran Ashraf, the young actor shared interesting insights about love, marriage, and his current relationship status.

    When asked about one-sided love, Khushhal took a very romantic stance. “It’s a beautiful thing,” he declared. Because you have all the power in that,” he explained. “You create your perception about how that person is. It’s in your mind as a beautiful image. It’s not dependent on the response from the other end. You’re at peace in your mind.”

    Intrigued by his perspective on one-sided love, the interviewer asked if Khushhal had ever experienced it himself, either falling for someone or having someone fall for him. His answer surprised some: “No,” he admitted, “I am just in love with my work.” It seems his dedication to his craft currently takes the place of romantic relationships.

The way Musaddiq has shot the sequence where a wife thinks her husband is planning her birthday, but it turns out to be an event for his mom, was super annoying. And what’s even more frustrating is that this is how people generally live here, and many were able to relate to it.”
