The actress said that she doesn’t often agree with Yasir Hussain but he had a point this time.
She wrote: “ “And also (argh i have to say this because ppl are like this). I dont agree with everything Yasir H has said in his entire life just cuz i agree with him regd state sponsoring foreign content. Infact have disagreed with him publicly and privately on many things,”.
Yasir Hussain made comments regarding Turkish drama Ertugrul being on-aired on state-run Pakistan Television (PTV).
Taking to Instagram, Yasir Hussain advised PTV to make its own historical dramas saying that Turkish serials would destroy the local industry.
He had written: “PTV should make a historic drama serial and utilize Pakistani artists, who pay taxes and also have expertise in their field besides the technicians,”.
He went on to say sarcastically that imported cloth rags and Turkish dramas will destroy the local industry.
Turkish historical adventure series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, titled Ertuğrul Ghazi in urdu, touched the sky of popularity in Pakistan. Turkish artists are receiving huge applause from Pakistani audience.
