Pakistan makes cheap dramas and yet they are widely watched: Humayun Saeed
With the release of Love Guru last month and Main Manto Nahi Hoon airing this Friday, Humayun Saeed reflected on what keeps him motivated to entertain the Pakistani audience. The actor appeared in an episode of Geo Podcast with Mubashir on Friday, where he talked about his love for cinema and how he acted in his first drama while working at a factory. 'I was a general manager and made sure shipments were released on time. My brother was paralysed at the time so I needed the money. That factory really taught me how to work hard,' said Saeed. 'At the same factory I once acted in a play at a celebration party and my boss, who was a part time model, suggested that I act in TV dramas. He referred me to a couple of places and I did my first drama, Karoron Ka Aadmi in 1995.' 'My father was a religious man. He would not have approved of acting so I hid my first TV drama from him.' he laughingly recalled. 'Eventually people started telling him, 'Your son looked good on TV', and my secret was out!' Saeed moved on from it after his first project. 'I forgot about acting after my first job, I thought that was it. But after a few days, I started getting more offers.' said Saeed. 'I left my job at the factory then and shifted to acting.' Launching local films Saeed was one of the first actor-producers to give Pakistani feature films a try. His films Main Hoon Shahid Afridi and Jawani Phir Nahi Aani were released in 2013 and 2015, respectively. 'They were a risk at that time,' he shared. 'I invested Rs700,000 in the first film and did not make as much in return. People were quizzical about this decision but I kept creating more.' 'And I was right,' he added. ' I put in Rs600,000 into making Jawani Phir Nahi Aani and it made around Rs5 million at the box office. The film was not dead. People were interested in watching if given the right content.' The actor was nervous about making another feature hit after the first one.'Jawani Phir Nahi Aani had four male leads so it had more chances of being a success,' Saeed remarked. 'I had to do a solo male lead film after that and people challenged me. 'Let's see if you can make this work,' they said - and I did make it work. Punjab Nahi Jaungi then released worldwide in 2017 and it made even more than the first two.' The producer shared his two cents about recent India-Pakistan tensions as well. 'It was really upsetting that Sardaar Ji 3 did not release in India just because it had a Pakistani actor. Hania Amir was casted when relations between the two countries were good. Imagine the financial loss it must have been for the producers, it's extremely sad,' he said. Insights on Pakistani TV industry Regarding his three-decade experience in TV, he said, 'Pakistan makes some of the cheapest dramas cost wise around the world. Yet they are still watched so much.' Saeed played Lady Diana's love interest, Dr. Hasnat, in UK based Netflix series The Crown, in 2022. 'While I was working for the team, I saw that the show was directed by five different directors. Each director came with their own team that had people to research and make the creative decisions. That takes money,' noted the actor. 'Pakistan does not currently invest on that big of a scale on TV dramas. Imagine how far our TV shows will go if we put in that much money too. And we aren't short of talent,' added Saeed. Talking further about his role as Dr. Hasnat, the star recalled, 'I had COVID-19 when I was asked to audition for The Crown. They gave me the script and told me to record myself playing the scene. I was asked not to tell anyone else about it.' 'They really loved my work,' he continued. 'I gave a second audition but then didn't hear back for a while. I thought the role was given to someone else. Twenty days later, I received a call. I had bagged it!' Saeed smiled and shared, 'While I prefer to work in my own country, I was really proud to play a Pakistani character. Moreover, working in Hollywood was an experience of its own. I was really nervous because my part had a kissing scene too. But the team was really confident in my skills and it ended up going well.' Saeed is all set to appear in Main Manto Nahi Hoon alongside Sanam Saeed and Sajal Ali. His film opposite Mahira Khan, Love Guru was released on June 6 and is playing successfully in cinemas worldwide. For future, Saeed eagerly revealed, 'I have a couple of dramas lined up that will be completed soon. I am also aiming to release at least two movies this year, one romantic and one action. I want to play the lead in both.'

Parwarish Episode 29: The fathers are the stars of the show
Parwarish continues to stand tall as the magnum opus of Pakistani television in recent years. With each episode, it chips away at the familiar formula and leans into something much more grounded: the messiness of modern parenting, the weight of intergenerational silence, and what it takes to actually show up for the people you love. Episode 29 did all of that - and then some. This week, we saw Sameer caught in a moment many parents fear. He's arrested at a drug party, just when his father, Sulaiman, is already barely holding it together after Wali's shooting. But instead of exploding or turning away, Sulaiman walks in, calm but heavy. No yelling. No slaps. Just a hug, a look, and the kind of presence that says, I'm here, but I'm hurting too. ARYDigital/YouTube Later in the episode, during a conversation with Aniya, Sulaiman speaks briefly about forgiveness, and in doing so, helps ease some of the weight she's been carrying. It's a subtle moment, but one that shifts the energy within the family. ARYDigital/YouTube Then there's Maya. Her mental health has been unraveling for weeks now, and we've seen her father, Shaheer, do just about everything wrong from the start - minimize her, silence her and shame her. But in this episode, something shifts. When Maya finally breaks down, Shaheer doesn't offer a lecture. He doesn't try to fix it or dismiss her. Instead, he pulls her in for a hug, and in his arms, we see the first real act of care Maya has felt since this entire journey began. ARYDigital/YouTube Viewers react Following the episode, viewers online were quick to celebrate both dads. One user pointed out, 'Now Maya's father is winning our hearts. Sameer needed that hug from his father at that moment and the director gave it to us.' Another rightfully pointed out, 'two fathers won the internet today, Suleiman instead of giving corporal punishment, he hugged Sameer, which made him truly regret it by heart. [...] Maya's father, who was always against her, finally stood for her when she needed him…' Parwarish - a breath of fresh air There's something deeply powerful about how Parwarish is letting these fathers evolve. Shaheer hasn't magically transformed, he's still deeply flawed. But he's coming around and that counts for something. He's not evil, just a man raised in a system that taught him to suppress softness. And Sulaiman, with his continued steadiness, reminds us that strength doesn't have to be loud to be powerful. In a television landscape that often fails its men and its daughters, Parwarish continues to be a drama we will all remember.

Tazeen calls Faisal a 'riot' to work with
What's it like picking up where you left off with a co-worker from 28 years ago? If your name is Tazeen Hussain and that co-worker is fellow actor Faisal Rehman, then the answer is very simple: it is as if no time has passed by at all. "It felt not like 28 years, but 28 minutes. Or 28 seconds!" recalled Tazeen about her onscreen husband from Qarze Jaan (2024) in a resurfaced clip from The Rafay Mahmood podcast. Eagle-eyed fans of classics from Pakistani television will recall the pair from Shahpar (1997). But although 1997 may be locked away in the previous century, Tazeen is adamant that the Faisal of today is no different from the Faisal she remembers from almost three decades ago. "Faisal hasn't changed much, and he told me I haven't changed much!" continued Tazeen. "He is a riot to work with. That's how it was before, and that's how it is now." According to Tazeen, the effervescent energy Faisal brings to the set is rooted in his love for thinking on his feet. "A lot of our scenes have a lot of improvisations. He's amazing with that," she explained. Tazeen is adamant that her long-time co-star is also adept at tweaking a scene before anyone can quash his ideas. "He's very clever!" admitted Tazeen. "He knows if he tells [me what he is up to], I won't agree! So he just does it on camera!" However much she may be taken by surprise during a shoot, Tazeen's chemistry with Faisal is such that she is able to draw on instinct during her scenes with him. "My reaction to him would be totally natural," admitted the actor. Having cultivated this shared history and fun-loving chemistry with her seasoned co-star, Tazeen credited Faisal for allowing her to feel comfortable behind the camera, even when she experienced inner turmoil at the demands of a scene. "You know my wedding night sequence [in Qarze Jaan]? I was so stressed over it, and I told [director] Saqib [Khan] that I couldn't do it, it was too awkward. But he got me to calm down and shot it beautifully. And it became what it did because Faisal was with me. It is so important to have a relaxed relationship with the actor you are working with." In Tazeen's experience, the fact that Faisal exudes this air of comfort, coupled with his refusal to belittle anyone he works with, combine together to make working with him a joy. "He respects all his co-stars, whether they are new or experienced. That, and he owns what he is doing and he is totally shameless and unapologetic about it. That's what makes him what he is!"
