Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

he was on shaadi online in this episode. Man, new lahore has really improved. I heard there are a lot of malls cropping up in lahore nowadays. So what is the cool hangout zone for teenagers nowadays. Anyone knows.

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

Why can’t you film in the Defense area in Lahore? Is it the same way in Khi too - you can’t take your cameras there.
George made a good point - the people that are supposed to protect you don’t even know how to talk to you/respect the people they protect.
Interestingly enough Geo showed a bunch of ppl smoking weed and watching a Mola Jatt movie :hehe:
It was good to meet Mr. Iqbal, the artist who grew up in the red light area and is looked down upon by the Pak govt.
Poor George is stuck in the village milking a cow and nobody speaks a word of english.

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

That artist from the red light distract is really talented... To bad Pakistan doesnt give him the respect he deserves.
And wy the heck cant you film in the defense area? From the way te were treated you would think Pak security is number one in the world, and yet we all know what the reality is..

** George’s quest for citizenship: PM announces decision today **

KARACHI: George Fulton, famous for his Geo TV programme “George Ka Pakistan”, called on Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz at his residence as part of the conclusion of a three-month challenge to become a Pakistani.

The show comes to an end today (Tuesday) with its final episode being aired at 7.05pm on Geo TV. The final verdict will be announced by the prime minister during the programme. The prime minister has been an avid viewer of the show and he commended George and the Geo team on their great effort and the success of the programme.

Quoting instances from the show, Shaukat assured George that he, indeed, could become a Pakistani, and accepted his application for residency in the country. In this reality show, Geo set George the challenge of becoming a Pakistani within a stipulated period of three months. The show, a first of its kind in South Asia, touched important issues of Pakistani identity and society using a foreigner as its main protagonist.

In doing so it has evoked a huge response from the people of Pakistan, both at home and abroad. Geo let Pakistanis make the final decision on whether or not George has succeeded in the challenge. After a two-week campaign, which prompted a response in thousands of phone calls, emails and web polls, a final decision has been arrived at by the people of Pakistan.

George said during his stay in Pakistan, one thing, which he observed ostensibly, was that Pakistani people are very kind-hearted to strangers, especially the foreigners. “I love the energy of Karachi, planning of Islamabad and historic places of Lahore. I accept the challenge to become a Pakistani in three months because I want to explore the beauty and different customs of Pakistan,” he said. He described his experiences during online chatting with thousands of people on Geo website on Monday.

During over two-hour long chatting, thousands of people from all over Pakistan and abroad contacted George and gave him suggestion regarding his challenge. George says that he feels very comfortable and secure in Pakistan. “I cannot spend my whole life in Pakistan but I want to live here, my parents live in England with my two elder sisters, they are with me in this challenge.”

Responding to a question, he said the whole journey (to become a Pakistani) was very difficult. He recalled that it was a very embarrassing moment for him, when in Gwadar, he was sacked from a job where he was hired to make a boat.

“George ka Pakistan” was an idea of Geo TV. To a query, George said he likes pop music of Ali Azmat and Junoon group and singing of Abida Perveen, comedy of Omer Sharif, poetry of Allama Iqbal and Faiz Ahmed Faiz. There is no comparison between Pakistan and England but Pakistan is better than England in cricket. He said Urdu is a very difficult language to speak and pronounce. He feels that corruption and lack of good education are big problems of Pakistan.

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

^ I wish they would have shown the program concurrently in Pak and US so that the US viewers could have given their feedback.

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

I say give it to him. He has figured out Pakistan.

Re: GEORGE Aaj Pakistan Mae !!

The results are out!The majority thinks that he can be a pakistani....the results were announced by PM Shaukat Aziz!!
