Re: Do indian dramas have ANY Muslim character?
^^ i don't think that indian filmakers introduce muslims characters in their movie so it can be sold in muslim/arab world. thats such a silly remark.
VERY RIGHTLY SAID SURMA...oops..sorry CHINTU BHOPALI..!
Remember folks--SHOWBIZ has no caste, creed or boundaries. In INDIA they take SHOWBIZ next to their RELIGION. There's a lots more value then in our Country. I have worked (in Dubai & Malaysia) with top Indian TV Artiste' like Rajeev Khandelwal, Amna Shareef, Nausheen Ali Sardar, Konika, Parik**** Sahni and Naseeruddin Shah...and i found them all raedy and vying to work for Pakistani Productions. I also met some top HINDU directors from BALAJI Productions and they yearn for our artiste like Humayun Saeed, Sonya Khan, Maria Wasti and Zeba Bakhtiar etc. Remember Raj Kapoor chose Zeba in "HINA" when he begged Hasina Moin (at Sharjah match to get a new face from Pakistan.. I was there standing next to Hasina...then..in 1989-90). You all would also know that JAVED SHAIKH was called by Indians and he has done marvy job in NAMASTE LONDON plus other ones too. Currently Imran Abbas, Maria Wasti and Humayun are regularly visiting Mumbai for some serials.....
So there's no such thing as biased or jealousy or 'feelings' of any one in India on MUSLIMS for their plays or movies acting.
I also know the famous RAKHSINDA KHAN of SAAS BHI KABHI BAHU THEEH.. she is muslim and one of the icon of that serial.
Astala Vista,
