Renowned actor, director and host Yasir Hussain has blamed India as a major reason for the decline in the quality of Pakistani drama industry.

The actor recently appeared on a private TV show, during which he openly discussed the decline of Pakistani dramas.

Yasir Hussain says that the biggest difference between Pakistani and Indian dramas is the audience, which affects the quality of the content. Most Indian viewers watch crappy (low-quality) content, while Pakistani viewers are relatively knowledgeable.

He said that in the past, the quality of Pakistani dramas was very high, but when these dramas started becoming popular in India, their quality started declining. Our drama makers started making content keeping the Indian market in mind, which led to a change in the stories and quality.

According to Yasir Hussain, Indian viewers started watching Pakistani dramas because of their class and quality, but instead of bringing them up to our standards, we ourselves came down and started making content according to them.

His statement is drawing different opinions on social media, with some users agreeing with him while others disagree with his stance.

A significant development has come to light in the defamation suit filed by singer Ali Zafar against Meesha Shafi in the Lahore High Court, where the court conditionally suspended the session court’s decision to award Rs 5 million in damages on Meesha Shafi’s appeal.

Justice Ahmed Nadeem Arshad, while hearing Meesha Shafi’s appeal, ruled that the fine amount will not be implemented immediately until the final decision of the appeal, however, Meesha Shafi will have to deposit half of the fine amount in the court while it will be necessary to provide surety for the remaining amount.

During the hearing, the court rejected Meesha Shafi’s request to suspend the entire trial court decision and clarified that the ban on the lower court’s repeated allegations of sexual harassment will remain in place. The court remarked that no one can be allowed to repeat such serious allegations without evidence.

Advocate Saqib Jilani appeared in the court on behalf of Meesha Shafi, who took the position that the session court did not conduct a complete and correct assessment of the facts. The appeal stated that if Meesha Shafi could not prove her allegations, it does not mean that Ali Zafar has completely exonerated himself.

The petitioner’s lawyer further argued that Meesha Shafi had also approached the provincial ombudsman on the same matter, while an appeal against this decision is still pending in the Supreme Court, so the defamation claim should not have been fully filed before the final decision of the Supreme Court.

The court has issued a notice to Ali Zafar and sought a response, while further hearing of the case will be held on a later date.

It should be noted that the Sessions Court, while ruling in favor of Ali Zafar, had ordered Meesha Shafi to pay Rs 5 million in damages and had declared that he had failed to prove his allegations of sexual harassment in court. After this decision, this case has become one of the most important legal disputes in the showbiz industry.

She said that those songs were written by Anwar Sahib and I wrote the Punjabi song of Mussrat Nazir, but there was nothing so vulgar in it that there was any bad word about her personality or came down on any of her personal qualities.

The actress said that now it is not like a transgender man impersonating women and he impersonates badly, it was not a good performance at all, earlier actress Veena Malik had impersonated me for which I appreciated her.

Hina Tariq said that she does not like soft-spoken, overly sensitive or ‘poky’ men. According to her, a man should be strong, decisive and independent in a masculine way.

The actress said that she wants her life partner to be responsible, plan, pay the rent, give her flowers and take care of life’s affairs because she, as a woman, wants to enjoy these traditional loving behaviors.

According to Hina, she is financially independent, but despite this, she wants men to fulfill their responsibilities because for a woman, this is the beauty that she gets love, attention and respect.

She added that she also does not like women who try to put themselves in the role of men. According to her, instead of filling the car with petrol, carrying heavy bags or taking care of every practical responsibility herself, she wants men to play this role.

The actress clarified that a woman is a beautiful and delicate creature, who needs love instead of anger. Hina Tariq called it a curse for women to be ‘feminists’.

Hina Tariq’s statements have generated mixed reactions on social media, where some users described her views as close to traditional values, while others considered her a strong stance against modern feminism.
