  • Fawad Khan talks about why Pakistani dramas are winning hearts in India

    Fawad Khan talks about why Pakistani dramas are winning hearts in India

    Pakistan’s TV dramas are well-known for telling powerful and realistic stories. They’re loved not just domestically but across the border in India too.

    Fawad Khan, one of the biggest stars in the industry, has a fair idea of why Pakistani dramas are as popular as they are. During an interview with Pinkvilla India, the superstar was asked by the host, “What do you think is the USP of Pakistan dramas that are hitting the right cord over here for the Indian audience?”

    Fawad replied, “We Pakistanis have always used drama as a medium to tell our stories, and that’s taught us the art of storytelling. We’ve learned how to weave a narrative, how to develop characters, and how to engage our audience. It’s a craft we’ve honed over the years, and we’re proud of our expertise in this field.”

    He continued to explain: “When we give something time, and the audience appreciates it, it means we are doing something right, just like Bollywood does in India.”

    The Barzakh actor said, “Indian writers are skilled at presenting their stories in an engaging way through films, owing to their experience in longer narrative formats. This preference for soaps over dramas on television has led to a decline in audience interest compared to previous times.”

    ‘Fans search for my looks, not my work’: Durefishan

    Fans of actress Durefishan Saleem, what is wrong with you?! The star has complained in a recent interview that internet searches for her name are often accompanied by the keyword ‘hot’ rather than her work.
    “Most of the times, people are looking for ‘Durefishan Hot’ on their internet searches, and they are not looking for my work,” she remarked during a recent event.

    “Public figures should expect criticism; it comes with the territory,” said host Ahmed Ali Butt. He emphasized that being in the spotlight means getting attention and criticism, whether it is desired or not.

    Fatima Effendi agreed, saying: “She must have thought that as once you write your name on Google, several suggestions come up, and she must have assumed that people were searching for her ‘hot pictures’.”

    ‘I was told it is haraam’: Salma Hassan on working with ex-husband

    Actress Salma Hassan recently appeared in ‘Hasna Mana Hai’ which is hosted by Tabish Hashmi.

    The host asked her at one point, “In our society, divorce is a taboo. Naturally, when people get divorced, they don’t see each other, visit each other, or talk to each other. But you and Afzar continued to work together even after the divorce. Doesn’t it feel awkward?”

    She replied, “I was told this is haraam and how can you work with your ex-husband. I’m an actress, so I’d work with anyone. And for our daughter’s sake, I want to put our differences aside and have a good relationship with her father.”

    There you go, that’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.
