Why do soo many actors complain about this and make it an excuse to get out of Pakistan to work in India? Praising their work is cool because they have some pretty brilliant stuff going on for themselves but when our actors go all starry eyed when Indians praise our dramas and their acting, as if Pakistanis dont give a shiz or ever praise them??? I find that so insulting! It’s hard to make a name here but why do they badmouth their own fans/audience? I didn’t expect this from Mohib, Aamina is one of the biggest actresses in the country and a household now if her drama telecasts on any Indian channel and people go bonkers will she say the same as Mohib did and forget that fans of a country called Pakistan have made her what she is. In India tv actors are not ‘treated’ like kings or queens either.. their people laugh at them and their shows!!
So my question is whats with this defeatist attitude of some actors? Be proud of your telly/film how ever small they might be, work hard to make quality stuff, the world will recognize you. If all Iranians started to run away because of so much censorship imposed on thier media they wouldn’t have won an oscar. Their audiences don’t worship or idolise their actors/singers, does that stop them from working in their country. If Mohibs so self obsessed and wants people to praise him regardless of whether he’s worthy of it not, then he’d be better off in India.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
it's business 101...go where the demand is and whoever pays well...everyone wants to build a career.
we have the same thing in Canada...a lot of Canadian actors move south to Hollywood where they get work, money and fame and build their career. if they stayed in Canada, their career wouldn't have taken off like the way it did in the US.
here, no one complains about their going south. everyone has a right to do the best for their careers.
why do we blame Pakistani actors when they go south to Bollywood in India?
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
Canada is such a dull place I don't blame them and US/Canada relations are not even comparable to Pakistan and India's relations, so they dont care that Justin pooper has left the country.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
so after bader Khalil mohib joins the bandwagon
Where was Rohail Hayaat after VS breakup? Comes 2008 and boom! He worked hard and created the brand that is Coke Studio if he had started whining for being forgotten he would have only harmed himself. Mohib needs to learn from Mani. Don't take yourselve so seriously, you'll get nowhere.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
Shan is the one of the greatest actor in the sub continent. He is millions times better than any film/tv actor of present generation. He made his name in Pakistan. Never sucked up to Indians to achieve success.Same goes for greats like Noor Jehan and Nusrat fateh Ali. They became legends by working in Pakistan. These examples prove you don't need to be a sell out to achieve success. I've no problem if people go and work in other countries but not if they do it at the cost of their dignity. That concept might be alien to people like Mohib who despite their mediocre talent got fame and fortune here. But I want to know why does he have to badmouth his own people to please indians? Why not show some grace , patriotism and gratitude? Why bend over backwards to work in third class Indian films? And why some of our artists seek acceptance from Indians to judge their own work? Who are Indians to judge us? They have always been copying and stealing our films, music and television dramas. We don't need their approval. We should recognize the power of our talent.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
This dude is not that great of an actor yet.
Greater actors are people like Shafi Mohammad, Shakeel Ahmed, Mohammad Ahmed, Bushra Ansari, Moin Akhtar, etc.......this Mohib is still a kid compared to them. Even Vasay Ch. is better.
Mohib is good too but he needs to keep working at it, hopefully he will have a good life acting his life
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
""We used to think it will be difficult for Fawad to make a name for himself in Bollywood because after all he is a foreigner there "- Mohib Mirza
LOL! He was a foreigner but Fawad was already popular bcoz of khuda ke liye and humsafar, zgh . I find it so stupid the way fawad's co-star( in khoobsurat)was pretending she didn't know him lol was she living on mars? indians do know our artists quite well but somehow pretend to be oblivious.
Just because we didn’t bother to watch his super hit drama Ye shadi nahi ho sakti we are to blame.Hamza ali abbasi might be an indian actor then because he is getting a lot of praise in Pakistan
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
Work in other countries but don't act like a jerk and have some self-respect and respect for your country.
"Actor Mohib Mirza says he is touched by the adulation Pakistani artistes are getting in India, which is more than what they receive back home."
What a low-class, self-congratulatory statement.
"I feel elated that our shows have made their way into people's hearts in India. This kind of respect and appreciation towards actors is unbelievable and is something we haven't experienced at home."
Even if he hasn't, he should have some self-respect and dignity and control what comes out of his mouth. It just makes him look inconfident and like a suck-up.
I thought he was more mature than that.
But like many other artists who don't know how to behave when they land in India, he has also turned out to be one.
Are there other articles confirming his nonsense ?
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
"The basic premise of my love story and the one in the show is similar as I had to try hard to convince Aamina's parents, especially her father, for our marriage."- Mohib Mirza
We totally sympathize with Amin'a parents especially her father :) who would marry his daughter to an opportunist suck-up?
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
remember words like ‘meerasi, bhaand, kanjar’ used for actors in Pakistan before condemning an artist. Attitude of society does lead to artists expressing their views in such way, when they see a different attitude in another country. I don’t think Indians have such attitude towards their actors.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
Its true though my own cousins went to a soch band concert nd yet BOOed through out their performance
Why u.go then? I asked.him. he said who are soch band charging xxx rupees per ticket who do they think they are .
And the band left halfway because of the crowds jeers and booes.
My cousins found this funny.
This is NOT how people.respect artists outside of Pakistan.
Then soch band went India.received respect and professionalism.
Its OK to call uk and USA better than Pakistan but why can't we say India are too.
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
its not necessary that work of every actor/actress receives appreciation from audience, there are/were many artists who got huge appreciation from pakistani audience, mohib mirza didn't do any special work so i don't think he is worthy.....
Re: Artists are not respected in Pakistan - Mohib Mirza
Dancing/singing is not well liked in Pakistan but actors of say ptv were working since forever, they were never called that
I reckon Mohib has done tons of telefilms and dramas but if he didn’t become the next pyare afzal, then he needs to work hard and choose roles where he has more to show. In dukhtar he wasn’t given a lot to do, Samiya and the kid were the centre focus so why blame the audience for not taking notice of him.
Indian audiences are appreciating many plays because they are very different to their own telly. Lets be graceful and say thankyou then flipping on your own people.
