Actor Aijaz Aslam has given fans a delightful glimpse into Pakistan’s television history, taking them back to the 1990s with a rare clip from an old Pakistan Television (PTV) programme featuring some of the industry’s most familiar faces.
The actor recently shared the nostalgic footage on Instagram, recalling a time when television personalities would come together for special Eid transmissions filled with spontaneous conversations, and plenty of laughter. Although Aslam believes the recording was part of an Eid special, he admitted that he could not remember the exact occasion.

The clip features Aslam alongside the late actor and comedian Khawaja Akmal and Adnan Siddiqui, with Laila Wasti hosting the lively session. Unlike today's carefully produced entertainment shows, the gathering captures a relaxed atmosphere, with the celebrities exchanging jokes and sharing light-hearted moments without any apparent pressure to put on a performance.
One scene, in particular, stands out for its unexpected humour. During the conversation, Aslam asks Khawaja Akmal what acting opportunities remain for someone after gaining weight. Without missing a beat, the comedian responds with a clever reference to "cinema scope", leaving everyone around him amused.
