    PTV hasn’t made a good quality drama in 20 years: Yasir Hussain

    Veteran actor Aurangzeb Laghari, who received the Pride of Performance award for contributing to Pakistan’s entertainment industry, revealed in a recent interview that he had to change careers because of the severe lack of acting opportunities. Multiple news outlets reported that Laghari has opened a furniture showroom in Lahore.

    In response to this news, Actor Yasir Hussain, took to social media to highlight the diminishing opportunities for drama actors who do not live in Karachi.

    The ‘Karachi Se Lahore’ actor shared his disappointment on Instagram. He reposted the news and wrote, “All the dramas are made in Karachi, and they don’t invite anyone from Lahore to join. PTV used to give work to people from all cities, but now they don’t.” He also criticised the channel for not producing good-quality dramas. “PTV hasn’t made a good drama in the last 20 years. It’s such a shame. Where are shows like ‘Tanhaiyaan,’ ‘Dhuwan,’ ‘Aangan Terha,’ ‘Waris,’ ‘Angar Wadi,’ and ‘Guest House’?”

    In the same interview where Aurangzeb Laghari revealed his new career, he also confirmed that he hasn’t found acting work because the industry has moved to Karachi. “All the main offices for channels are in Karachi. There is little work in Lahore, so I work very little,” said the actor. He added, “I feel like Punjabis aren’t given the same encouragement because we aren’t in the same city.”

    Jawad Ahmed vs Abrar Ul Haq: The war of words goes on

    Music legends Abrar Ul Haq and Jawad Ahmed ruled the 90s with their catchy bhangra and pop tunes. However, the two have been at odds since many years now, often exchanging harsh words.

    In a recent appearance on Public News, Abrar Ul Haq addressed allegations made by Jawad Ahmed, providing his side of the story. “When Jawad Ahmed called me a religious hypocrite, I was taken aback. I believe only Allah can judge me. Even if Jawad thinks I’m a hypocrite, I’ve reflected on my actions and don’t agree with his assessment. I often mention Allah in my statements, which seems to bother Jawad. He says a sinner like me shouldn’t talk about Allah. But I think people are just jealous. I pray to Allah to protect me from their envy. It’s a well-known saying that jealous people are consumed by anger due to their own failures.”

    Abrar then said he used to feel bad forJawad, “since I used to win honors based on the public’s vote, the jury’s verdict, or my popularity.” He alleged that Jawad copied him when it came to charity. “First he said that those who gave to charity were the ones who had failed in their careers. He used to pretend to be a caller in order to disrupt my charitable efforts, but it never hurt me.”
