KARACHI: Television actor Yasir Hussain has once again commented against the Turkish Television show Diriliş: Ertuğrul and called it stars ‘international garbage’.
Yasir Hussain shared a tweet on his Instagram story featuring pictures of the two Pakistani individuals who were look-alike of Diriliş: Ertuğrul actors. The tweet was captioned as ‘Pakistani Turgut and Pakistani Ertuğrul.’
Responding to the Tweet, Hussain expressed how they could never get the same importance as their Turkish counterparts. “No one will pay heed to them,” he added.
“Because home-cooked chicken is equivalent to lentils while international garbage is still worth cashing in,” Yasir Hussain added.

Following the circulation of the screenshot of his story, actress Anoushey Ashraf responded to Yasir Hussain’s remarks in the comment section of a local magazine’s post.
She said, “Let’s just gently remind Yasir that no one is Kachra (garbage) for one and even if their work isn’t at par to his liking, actors from around the world must be respected.”
She pointed out the unspoken bond of mutual respect that artists from around the world must share. She said, “It should be an unspoken ‘bond’ of mutual respect between artists. You’ll know your struggles better than the world does.”
The actress believes that ever since Diriliş: Ertuğrul aired in Pakistan, viewers have begun questioning and rejecting the ‘garbage’ content they are being fed. “People are finally rejecting ‘kachra’ work at home and looking out for better scripts, shows and budgets,” she added.
