Re: PTV Plays since 27 Nov-1964
Yup. lets come to the original topic, after short commercial break.
Do anyone remember PTV long play ‘Raat gae’ written by: Bano Qudsia and directed by:MNH *ing: Bushra Ansari, Abid Ali, etc. I watched the play, when it re-telecasted in 1998. It was very well written and directed drama. Bushra’s serious acting was wonderful. I remember Bushra saying in an interview, that when Iqbal Ansari was casting for ‘Karawaan’, she shown her interest to play main role of Sukhan, but Iqbal didn’t agree and tried to cast first Roohi Bano, who could not play ‘Sukhan’ due to some reason and that memorable role then went to ‘Huma Akbar’. Bushra then played a role of journalist in Karawan.
In Bushra’s wordings, although Sukhan’s role was appreciated and Huma Akbar became famous, but PTV award for best actress in that year was given to Bushra for her single play ‘Raat gae’ although Huma Akbar was also nominated for Sukhan’s role.
If anyone have this drama, plz upload or share links.
