Why Indians are Hooked to Pakistani Content? Yasir Hussain Answers

In a recent appearance on a popular chat show, acclaimed actor Yasir Hussain didn’t shy away from expressing his opinions about the state of Pakistani content in the entertainment industry, specifically addressing the quality of local dramas. The actor, known for his outspoken nature, continued to question the standard of work within the industry. “Is this what we call work? What kind of work do we have? An actor’s job is to act and to act well. It’s a field where actors strive to get recognition for their craft.”

Lack of Quality Work in Pakistani Content

Hussain expressed disappointment with the consistently poor quality of work in Pakistani TV dramas. “We are consistently being offered poor work. There’s only poor-quality work on TV. The dramas that become ‘hits,’ from what aspects are they good? The actor is shown a drama of 25 episodes but it runs on air for 40 episodes. Tell me, how could it be good then?” When the host pointed out the large fan following of Pakistani dramas, the Taxali Gate actor pinned it down to a lack of accessible alternatives.

Indian Audience Hooked Due to Lack of Alternatives

Hussain questioned, “Do you think everyone has Netflix in their homes?” before insisting that Indian appreciation for Pakistani content is largely driven by the lack of quality of their dramas. “Have you seen the kind of dramas India makes itself? The countries which have the worst dramas are surely watching ours but no one else aside from them is watching our TV. I don’t think our dramas are being watched by Koreans or Iranians,” the actor maintained. While language barriers could be one factor limiting the cross-border reach of Pakistani dramas, Hussain begged to differ. He stated, “The dramas we watch, we watch despite the language barriers. You go to the US, the UK, only the most despondent Pakistanis who have nothing to do there and who also want their children to learn to speak Urdu are watching our dramas.” Ending the interview, the actor dismissed what he called a “bubble” of people believing the world is fascinated by Pakistani dramas. “It’s a bubble [of people] who believe the whole world is watching our dramas. Where is the world watching us? Let’s face the facts.”

Saba Qamar Returns to TV Spotlight

Saba Qamar

Saba Qamar makes a powerful comeback to television with Pamaal, an upcoming drama that explores emotional trauma, identity, and resilience.

Set to air soon on Green Entertainment, Pamaal features Saba as Malika — a character shaped by personal struggle and the woman who raised her.

The drama’s first teaser has already sparked buzz online, showcasing Saba’s raw, emotionally charged performance that hints at a deeply moving story.

Known for fearless roles in Cheekh, Baaghi, Fraud, and Sangat, Saba continues to embrace narratives that go beyond surface-level storytelling. She also earned critical acclaim for her film work in Lahore Se Agay and Hindi Medium, strengthening her status in both TV and cinema.

With over 6.2 million followers, Saba quickly stirred reactions from fans who called the teaser “powerful” and “relatable.”

Taking to social media, Saba shared her personal connection to Pamaal and urged women to watch it with open hearts. She clarified that the drama doesn’t follow a typical romantic plot but instead reflects how women often lose themselves trying to meet others’ expectations.

“This is about real women who hide their pain behind smiles, who are strong even when they’re breaking inside,” she wrote.

She explained that Malika’s story captures the quiet endurance and emotional exhaustion many women live with daily. “Most women will see a part of themselves in Malika — in her silence, her strength, and in the battles no one else sees,” she added.

Saba emphasized that Pamaal is more than just a drama — it’s a mirror meant to inspire healing, self-worth, and introspection. She hopes viewers will see themselves in the story and find comfort in knowing they’re not alone.

Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah, known for emotionally rich storytelling, and directed by Khizer Idrees, with Tehreem Chaudhary as producer, Pamaal promises to deliver one of the year’s most compelling serials.

As anticipation builds, Saba Qamar’s heartfelt connection to the project suggests Pamaal may soon leave a lasting mark on Pakistani television.

Mehwish Hayat Defends Sahir Lodhi

Mehwish Hayat

Actress Mehwish Hayat responded to the viral trend of celebrities and influencers imitating Sahir Lodhi on social media, urging people to practice kindness and respect.

Recently, Sahir Lodhi’s official social media accounts shared videos showing him seemingly “unaware” while preparing for meetings. These clips, which appeared overly staged and featured repetitive expressions, quickly went viral.

As the videos circulated, social media users flooded them with humorous comments. Several well-known actors and influencers—such as Faisal Qureshi, Yasir Nawaz, and Aijaz Aslam—joined the trend by posting light-hearted imitations of Sahir’s dramatic style.

What began as routine content turned into meme material as celebrities and influencers mimicked Lodhi’s behavior, drawing massive attention online.

However, Mehwish Hayat stepped in to call out the mockery. She defended Sahir Lodhi and urged people to show more compassion.

“Every human being deserves basic respect,” Mehwish wrote on Instagram. “One should not abandon the rule of decency and gentleness while criticizing someone’s style.”

She emphasized Sahir Lodhi’s dedication, stating, “He’s worked consistently, shown up with passion, and built a name in an industry that’s not easy to survive in. It’s really not fair how some people mock him, forgetting that he’s human, just like the rest of us.”

She concluded by saying, “You don’t have to agree with someone’s style or choices, but basic respect should never go out of fashion. Let’s normalize kindness, especially toward those who keep showing up, no matter what the world throws at them!”
