Due to the mushroom growth of private satellite channels and their race to win the viewership, the quality of the TV programs going on-air has dwindled, whether they are talk shows, news bulletins or drama serials. For the sake of rating, no one pays attention toward the content and standard of the show.
When we talk about drama serials specifically, they used to have a theatrical approach back in 90’s when each and every single scene was well thought and perfectly pictured. The veteran actors of our drama industry spent hours in rehearsals although most of them were doing their part-time jobs on PTV. Their exceptional acting skills, brilliant dialogue delivery, and near to the reality performances are still remembered. Sania Saeed, Samina Peerzada, Adnan Siddiqui, Faisal Qureshi and many more legends are among those who people still love. Then how can we forget Noman Ijaz?
