    Ismat Zaidi criticizes newcomers for lack of respect towards seniors

    Ismat Zaidi, a seasoned actress in the drama industry, has contributed to numerous remarkable projects throughout her extensive career. Even today, she continues to excel in her roles in various dramas. As a guest on Ghazal Siddique’s podcast, she highlighted essential changes required within the industry to foster a more positive environment.

    She said, “There should be a criteria for what an artist with so much experience deserves. Many times, the production is paying so much money to an actor who may have started two years ago and ignore the rights of senior artists. I have had these bad experiences in the productions of actors who should have known better.”

    Ismat also shared details about bad experiences with new directors. “There was one director who misbehaved and insulted me in front of everyone. I was extremely disappointed,” she lamented.
    She stressed the significance of mutual respect and kindness in the workplace, urging directors to treat artists with dignity and empathy.

    Maryam Nafees will not work with Khalil Ur- Rehman Qamar

    Actress Maryam Nafees recently took the decision of not working with controversial script writer Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar. “I won’t work on any TV drama written by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar,” she said, explaining her choice on a TV show. “It’s because of different beliefs, not because Qamar isn’t talented. I wants to work on projects that match my values.”

    She’s worried about how Qamar shows women in his dramas, even though she respects his skills. Nafees wants to support women’s rights and feels she can’t do that by working with him.

    Qamar has often picked fights with actresses and female analysts over his misogynistic comments. Actress and former supermodel Iffat Umar recently refused to engage with him, criticizing Qamar for his narrow-mindedness and bitterness. This confrontation reflects mounting industry frustration with Qamar’s controversial remarks and treatment of women. In a TV appearance, Qamar dismissed Miss Pakistan 2022 winner Sana Hayat’s experiences, sparking further debate about gender equality and respect in the entertainment industry. Women are hesitant to work with him because they believe his beliefs and comments harm women’s progress and representation in the industry.

    Sana Nawaz gained fame in the nineties through her outstanding performances in Pakistani films. Recently, the actress appeared in the FHM Podcast where she discussed her divorce and life afterwards.

    Shagufta Ejaz not happy with changes in TV Dramas, prefers how things used to be

    Veteran television star Shagufta Ejaz is not happy with the way dramas are shaping out these days. Neither are we, to be honest.

    Recently, the actress appeared on the TV show Gup Shup hosted by Vasay Chaudhary. During the show, she discussed the professionalism of the older generation of actors compared to newer ones. She also shared her views on the latest trends in the drama industry.

    “Actors had patience back then, but current actors seem to lack it. We were very skilled in our work, but now actors don’t seem to have that same level of skill and maturity. Today’s actors achieve success and financial stability quickly, while it took us decades to reach that level of success. In the past, actors prioritized their work, focusing on their craft without many distractions. They concentrated on their performance rather than on sets and surroundings.”
