Explanation se muraad defend (in some way) the current situation in show biz. I know many educated people in our TV arena, who might want to change things gradually for betterment, but are handcuffed with obstacles that you mentioned. It will take a mighty heart but someone will rise and put a good team together to make dramas like Doraha and several others I have seen in last one year that are very close to reality with not a single piece of Indian influence. balkay ik drama ki main character tou dikhaai hi ik nau-umar larki jis ka dimaagh StarPlus dekh dekh kar kharaab hojaata hai aur woh zindagi ko ik afsaanvi pehlo se dekhti hai., aur phir uska anjaam bhi wesa hi hota hai. We can find characters like that in our upper and middle class. So all I am saying is that writers today need to be more sensitive in character development and believe me people do realise the hard work and appreciate it.
Uncle facebook ka time kahan se nikaalein, GS ka hi time nahi nikalta. Group ka naam bataaein phir bhi. Thanks for responding so far, as a viewer kahein to kehni thi dil ki baat.
**Aap ki thoughts parrh ke dil bohat khush hua ke abhi sharafat aur dhanng se baat karne ka aur point of view likhne ka saleeqa hai kuch logon mein...warna izzat ke taar taar karna aur sirf swears karna aik alagg fashion bunn gaya hai. I am most delighted to read your comments and exchanges which do not focus on a single or two personalities by using filthy words against them for no rhyme or reason--unless out of some personal or family dispute etc. And its so encouraging--your thoughts--that I would try and quote them in my forthcoming article in IMAGES at DAWN...Insha'Allah. **
Sahee kaha aap ne...aaj kall TIME ne sub ki aisi taisi pheri huee hai. Woh group meray nick name se hai aur us pe chandd logon ne apne khubsoorat khayalatt ka izhar kiya hua hai jissay parrh ke----aap ko Omar Sharif ya Charlie Chaplin ka show dekhne ki zaroorat nahin... aap waise hee apni seat se girr jaienge haanste haanste ! Meri family ne bhi bohat enjoy kiya aur mere kuch TV ke saathiouyun ne bhi and that reaffirmed my fellow mates faith in me that I will remain a FORT for them on any bakwas anyone states against my showbiz colleagues that I will fight till bitter end. I dont care what group or mails or threat calls or sms are conjectered towards me! I know WHO they are and will name them in my forthcoming show on some channels I am to appear!
On a more subjective note--the Press Conference on the three serials on ARY was a blast...and largely attended. Misbah Ishaq was the host alongside Irum Binte shahid--the two seniors at ARY with Jerjees. Munawwar Bhai, Seema Ghazal and Myself spoke. I met over 20 journalists and gave them good briefing including the facts behind the facebook group. Rubina Ashraf was there--and she booked me for her forthcoming serial recording on a play by Seema Ghazal---and that makes 16 Serials of Seema Ghazal for 2008 & 2009 under production or completed. She has 20 offers from various production houses. In her speech she urged the young ones like Umaira to come forward...and exploit their talents in serial writing.
2nd episode of KHANDAAN saw an increase in commercials! Sigh... that's the success these days friend...not the story or the script writer you want! the ingredients PUBLIC wants..and you are a bit different from public....like me! that I am not a professional actor. I do it for fun n frolic and to fume some--:)
Khush Rahein...
