Re: Which is your favourite PTV drama??
Well said AQ 
and a bit of trivia on UN KAHI for you and all here;
UNKAHI in actual..was APA BI KA GHAR and a pilot was also made with Filmstar Lehri, me, Shehnaz, Behroze, and Azra Mansoor. It was produced by Shoaib Mansoor…and in those days the PILOT of any serial..was first approved by a Board at Islamabad. The pilot was approved and all got planned…for start of recording when Lehri developed an eye problem (MOTEEYA) for which he backed out and in came Saleem Nasir on my suggestion to Mohsin Ali, then Executive Producer, Shirin Khan and Shoaib Mansoor…the trio who started UNKAHI…the name changed by Hasina…(I call her sweetheart…since UNKAHI days…at every place we meet and I have highest respects for this lady of umpteenth qualities who has given much much to the Pak-Showbiz) .
The particular scene you mention made viewers roll over laughing! and it was me who created that scene…when, before the take…I told Saleem to create a mannerism as the scene was going straight without any special attraction…and twisting the tie was my idea. I still have that tie with me in my collection of hundreds…as it has very emotional attachment with me—because Allah Bakhshay…my buddiest of the buddies…it was MOHSIN ALI who gifted it to me during the shoot of an earlier serial ROSHAN MANZIL I did with Filmstar Shaista Qaiser in lead.
It was also on Mohsin & Shoaib’s special request that I agreed to have my best safari suit cut to peices by scissors for creating the situation of the neighbor’s dog coming after me…when I hopped in their garden to get roses for Miss Maryam.
On ROSES…another special addition by me was a dialogue which people often talk about…during my overseas shoots (this time it was in Edinburgh)…ACTUALLY there was this vey popular song of yesteryears by Helen Shepiro “I BEG YOR PARDON…I NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN”…and during that scene when myself, Jamshed Ansari, Shehnaz Sheikh and Tabassum (Miss Maryam) are strolling in garden and Shehnaz concocts that Maryam needs ROSES…at one point I mention; “Miss Maryam…I CAN promise you a ROSE Garden..!”…at one point…even people like Javed Jabbar and Marina Khan..who came much later in showbiz…remembered that how nice I used that situation to put that song concept there…
Most of the scenes of UNKAHI…were done at my first cousin Maryam Muniff’s house at Khayyaban-e-Hafiz, DHA-V..and while I hadly did three episodes in UNKAHI…my involvement as an unaccredited assistant to Mohsin, Shoaib and Shirin…for all and everything…remained from the first till the last episode…including the grand cast party we had at my house…right after the last episode!
Khush Rahein…
