‘Jaan Nisar,’ a project by 7th Sky Entertainment, is led by the talented duo Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi. This new drama airs on Geo Entertainment and has kicked off with three episodes, hinting at a storyline that’s deeper than it first appears.
Dua, played by the versatile Hiba Bukhari, is a young girl with big dreams. Unlike the typical obedient and practical sisters, Dua loves dancing and dreams of exotic meals instead of the usual desi dishes. She hopes for someone who can help her achieve her dreams, though she’s not just a “fortune seeker.”
Enter Nosherwan, a dark, mysterious, and no-nonsense guy, portrayed by Danish Taimoor. He seems like the perfect drama hero, but there may be more to his character than meets the eye.
On the other side, Dua shares a seemingly love-struck story with Faraz, played by Haroon Shahid. Nosherwan notices Dua on two occasions and seems intrigued, though he hasn’t admitted it to himself yet.
But there’s a twist: Nosherwan was forced to marry his brother’s widow, Kashmala, a role he’s uncomfortable with as he always saw her as a sister-in-law. The past haunts him and drives him to do good deeds, like protecting women in his village. The drama also teases a mystery about Nosherwan’s brother’s death and Dua’s strict father, who has a dubious character.
‘Jaan Nisar’ airs on Geo Entertainment every Friday to Sunday at 8:00 p.m. The cast includes Danish Taimoor, Hiba Bukhari, Haroon Shahid, Sajid Hasan, Hina Bayat, Mahmood Aslam, Dania Enwer, Kinza Malik, Hiba Ali, Sajeeruddin Khalifa, Humaira Bano, and Ellie Zaid.
Actress Hiba Bukhari is all praise for one actor that she has worked with.
She talked about acting alongside Sheheryar Munawar for the first time in ‘Radd’. In a behind-the-scenes video from the sets, Bukhari shared her thoughts on working with Munawar for the first time. She said, “I was actually surprised by how positive he is. He brings a lot of positivity.”
Bukhari added, “Even though he’s been in the movies for a while now, I thought it might take some time to get used to working with him, but he’s really nice, sweet, and cooperative. He’s great at discussing scenes and rehearsing dialogues with me to make our on-screen chemistry work.” “Many actors don’t prepare like this, even though it’s a basic requirement in our field. Usually, actors don’t like it,” said the ‘Radd’ actor. “But Sheheryar does, and it lets us talk about changes before telling the director,” she finished.
A star-studded success party of Geo’s telefilm, Ruposh has been celebrated by the whole team and cast. The party was hosted by Geo Television and 7th Sky Entertainment’s producers and actors among other crew members.
A list of celebrities attended the success party including Muneeb Butt, Arez Ahmed and Hiba Bukhari, Affan Waheed and Sidra Niazi.
The lead cast, Kinza Hashmi and Haroon Kadwani were in the limelight of the success party.
Talented senior actor, Faisal Qureshi also came with his wife, Sana Faysal to join with the celebrations of the work done by the young talents in Ruposh.
Actor Hiba Bukhari appeared on Ahsan Khan’s show Time Out With Ahsan Khan alongside her celebrity husband, Arez Ahmed.
The Berukhi diva opened up on being body shamed on the show. Hiba mentioned that after her play Fitoor costarring Faysal Qureshi went on-air, she received a polarising response for her physical appearance.
Her character was that of a college going girl but a section of netizens dropped mean comments for her, they said that she looks old for the part and even body shamed her.
Hiba said, “While I was doing Fitoor, I was going through a bad phase, very bad, by the end of it I was disturbed.”
“Its not just that I only get praised, I get criticised too.”
When Ahsan asked her to elaborate, she mentioned, “Actually I gained a little weight during it, and then people around me and on social media started talking.”
“I got stressed out, I got into depression and I started eating more and gained 5-6 Kgs in a month because of that depression.”
She concluded by saying that, “People who preach on social media to not body shame people actually do it a lot themselves.”
Earlier in an interview with Something Haute, the Inteha-e-Ishq diva addressed the criticism on her wardrobe for Fitoor.
Regarding the wardrobe, Hiba said, “Fitoor is directed by Siraj-ul-Haque and he always has a thing in his mind to make everything look dreamy. He wanted me to dress the way Dilnasheen was dressed up.”
She added, “The wardrobe was presented by 7th Sky. I didn’t made them myself. That’s what it is, we actors alone aren’t responsible for everything. We are just doing our job, we have to do whatever our directors and producers ask us to do.”
Pakistan is a third world nation, the majority population is rooted in patriarchal norms and customs, and crimes against women are alarming, our dramas don’t do a lot in trying to eradicate the misogynistic morals demanded from a woman.
A female in a patriarchal society is often burdened with the responsibility of carrying the family’s honor all on her own and Pakistani dramas continue to further mindset by introducing increasingly problematic tropes.
Many recently released dramas featured sequences of a father not being able to handle his daughter’s misfortunes and ending up dead because of it. This has now become repetitive to garner ratings by sensationalising the death of a heroine’s father. The fathers’ biggest problem are often associated with the daughter’s married life. It really is an unfortunate development of recent times that mainstream media has further escalated the regressive mindsets about the parental burdens of a daughter. Scenes of a father suffering from a fatal heart attack because of the disgraceful situations that arose due to the daughter’s actions or misfortunes.
Ayeza Khan’s Meherposh shows the female protagonist’s father getting a heart attack the moment Mehru’s husband divorces her in front of her entire family in a very distasteful dramatic sequence. The father dies as he couldn’t bear the dishonor his daughter’s misfortune brought the family.
Drama serial Jhooti starring Iqra Aziz showcased Nirma as the trouble maker of the family.
She emotionally blackmails and tortures her family for various reasons after being incited by her conman husband. The resulting family feuds lead to her father dying from a heart attack. Nirma’s mother is also shown to have died previously due to constant disturbances created by Nirma in the house.
In Yaariyan when the father, upon realizing how his one daughter toyed with the life of his other daughter’s prospective marital life, he is unable to bear the burden of the truth and ends up dying by heart attack.
Geo TV’s soap Uraan featuring Kinza Hashmi showed the father of one of the central female characters getting a heart attack while he is driving from his nephew’s house, who threatens to forcefully marry his daughter if she doesn’t consent to the marriage willingly. The heart attack leads to his demise.
ARY’s Ghalati also had a sequence where the female protagonist’s father dies of a heart attack after he sees his daughter being divorced amidst a family gathering. In other dramas if the fathers are not shown to directly drop dead because of their daughter’s misfortunes, the dramas push them to death by indirectly making the daughter the culprit for it.
Ruswai based on a rape victim, showed a father of a gang-rape survivor dealing with how the incident has shaken up the lives of both his children. He tries his best to settle things however, he is unable to do so. He feels helpless and in an emotionally burdened state, he loses his life in a car crash. Later in the same episode, it is revealed that the father wanted to commit suicide.
Pyar Ke Sadqay shows the female protagonist’s father being falsely prisoned due to his daughter’s step-father in law who wanted to use this opportunity to manipulate her into marrying him, in exchange for her father’s bail. The father gets a heart attack while imprisoned which leads to his death.
Saboor Aly’sTum Ho Wajah also has a similar situation where the father, weakened by his daughter eloping, ends up dying after getting a heart attack.
Nand shows a father dying in a car crash because he is chasing after his daughter, who has been forcefully taken from the house by her husband in the father’s absence. The father’s disturbed psychological state leads to a fatal car crash.
The heroine’s father in Zebaish dies trying to save his daughter from falling victim to the evil plans of the villain.
The trivialization of ethos attached to a daughter’s married life for a dotting father has been brutally dramatized and exploited by the scriptwriters for cheap thrilling sequences in the drama. The death sequences are also used to justify juvenile twists and plot changes.
Why are the fathers of only female characters shown to have such terrible consequences due to their daughters’ actions or their dwindling married life?
Fathers, are believed to be the biggest support system of a girl. But our Pakistani dramas have made the parents yet another way for a female character to face more miseries. They are pushed to death or shown to be out of their senses to either punish the female character’s wrongdoings, for instance, Jalan, or just to add some more misery to the female character’s life.
Daughters are supposed to be blessings and they should be shown in the same light instead of a burden that ultimately crushes her parents to death.
