Faysal Quraishi, who was last seen in a drama serial with Madiha Imam, appeared on a talk show where he criticized Pakistani dramas and viewers.
In an interview, the host questioned why Quraishi chooses the character of a mature man who marries a younger girl in every single drama, and he replied that he can’t become young now.
Quraishi continued his stance that what else can he do? “Yes, I agree that we can make mature love stories but there is a problem, our people only watch the dramas which address marriages, I can only name drama serial Pinjra which is showing different content, all dramas revolve around marriage.”

He added, “I did a drama serial ‘Naraz’, the story of the drama revolved around the son and father’s relationship but nobody watched it, in Pakistan, there is no other issue than Shadi if you ask from people, ‘what will you do?’, people reply, ‘shadi’ and that’s how it is.”
He once again said what can the drama makers do when people want to watch this kind of drama. He said, “We try to make changes but we can’t do so more because it is a hit formula and then we do satisfy our urge of performing challenging characters through projects like ‘Aik Thi Laila'”.
