Pakistani drama Dar-e-Nijaat has become a talking point among television viewers, with its storyline sparking conversations that extend well beyond the screen. While the character of Abu Bakr has drawn considerable attention, one question continues to divide audiences: can a man like him actually exist in real life, or is his behaviour simply an exaggeration created for television?

Several viewers have argued that Abu Bakr is too extreme to represent a real person, insisting that someone with his personality and actions could only exist in a fictional story. However, senior actor Aijaz Aslam has a rather different take on the ongoing debate.

During his recent appearance on a podcast, the actor opened up about his professional journey and future plans before being asked to share his thoughts on Dar-e-Nijaat. More specifically, he was questioned about Abu Bakr and whether he believed such a man could exist outside the world of television.

Rather than dismissing the character as an unrealistic portrayal, Aslam pointed out that Pakistani dramas often draw inspiration from situations and personalities found in everyday life. According to him, characters like Abu Bakr are not necessarily products of an imaginative storyline, as similar individuals can be found in society.

The actor also brought Nadia Afgan into the discussion, referring to her remarks on the character. He mentioned that a woman had also come forward to share that her own husband was exactly like Abu Bakr, suggesting that the character's behaviour may not be as far removed from reality as some viewers believe.
