HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF ! (How true…someone did say that…)
In 1974 when KHUDA KI BASTI was on air and we had the ONLY channel PTV and limited to Karachi only..the telecast…it was a sunday that during lunch break, in my Fiat-1100D were Bakhtiar Ahmed, Behroize Subzwari, Saqib Sheikh, Zahoor Ahmed and Qazi Wajid…and we stopped at a restaurant nearby at Bahadurabad…when five teenagers..walked over and gave Zahoor Ahmed some most embarassing [EMAIL=“#@$%$#@#$%$”]#@$%$#@#$%$#@# and started pelting stones that my car’s headlamp broke and we had to literally speed away!
ZAHOOR AHMED (Marhoom) played NIAZ’s role (Zaheen Tahira’s 2nd husband who marries her tactfully and gets her insured to have her killed through pisonous injections per plan with Dr. Moto (Zafar Siddiqui)…and Zaheen was by 10th episode slowly dying of injections!
That acting and plot was so good that viewers took a real offence a nd literally started writing against ZAHOOR Bhai and often chased him!
Now call it stupidity or the impact of good acting! that Shahood–this evening, called me and gave a full account of what happened…which the BMM Facebook reproduced above–already has!
Cricketer—Asif Iqbal once said; “PAkistan Cricket Team and the Nation…itself..are highly unpredictible people!”
Agarr kici dramay ko bura kahenge to uskay director ki laash nikaal deinge aur agarr koi serial pasand ajai…tou artist ki aisi taisi pher deinge…apne utopia aur ivory towers mein!
(Unless this is all a popularity stunt…well concocted with the help of some students! is it? naaah ! I dont think so:))
