Pak Writer Yasir Hussain Slams Indian Dramas, Calls Them 'Zeher': 'Hamara Unse Toh Behtar Hai...'

The writer has slammed Pakistani dramas as well.

Yasir Hussain, a Pakistani screenwriter, actor, and director, is currently busy promoting his new film Taxali Gate, directed by Abu Aleeha. In a recent interview with Something Haute, Yasir commented on the Indian TV industry. According to him, Indian TV shows are filled with what he calls “poison drama.” He made this comment when asked about the popularity of Pakistani TV shows, especially in India.

Yasir said, “India ke drama dekha hai aapne? Matlab woh nations jinke paas ghatiya quality ka drama hai woh humare drama zaroor dekh rahe hain. Uske alawa kon dekh raha hai aapka drama? Aapka drama sirf wahi log dekh rahe hai jinke paas apna drama behtar nahi hai. India mein toh intehaayi zeher drama hai. Hamara drama unse toh behtar hai isiliye woh dekh rahe hain (Have you seen the Indian dramas? Nations with low-quality and disgusting content are watching our dramas. Who else is watching Pakistani dramas? Indian drama is poison. Pakistani dramas are better than the ones created in India, that’s why people are watching them).”

Yasir also criticised the Pakistan TV industry. He said that it’s not a good industry. “Hamari industry koi achi industry nahi hai. Mein nahi chahta ki mera beta iss industry mein aaye. Mera dil nahi hai ki woh actor bane. (Our industry is not a good industry. I don’t want my son to join this industry. I don’t want him to become an actor)” he said, adding that bad work is being offered on TV.

Meanwhile, closer home, Ranveer Singh released an ad focusing on erectile dysfunction and the ad was shot in a TV serial set-up style and poked fun at the over-the-top scenes shown in a few Indian TV soaps. Rashami, who has been working in the TV industry for several years now, called the ad humiliating to the TV industry.
