The popular 1990s children’s drama series Ainak Wala Jin, which became a favorite on PTV, has a surprising and nostalgic connection to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
A recent podcast has sparked interest online, in which one of the show’s cast members, the actor who played the beloved character “Hamal Jadoogar,” shared an interesting story about how the show was connected to the Bhutto family.
Pasha, the actor behind the iconic character, revealed that Ainak Wala Jin wasn’t just adored by the general audience but also by the Bhutto children, Bilawal and Bakhtawar. He shared that episodes of the show were actually screened at Bilawal House two days before they were officially broadcast on TV. This allowed Bilawal and Bakhtawar to watch the episodes in advance and share spoilers with their school friends before the public saw them.
This lighthearted revelation has led to waves of nostalgia online, with fans reminiscing about the cherished series and the unique connection between one of Pakistan’s most beloved children’s shows and the political elite. Clips from the podcast are going viral on social media, sparking plenty of comedic and nostalgic reactions from viewers.
