Ever since the Zindagi channel started airing Pakistani television shows across the border, our celebrities have paved their way into the hearts of Indian audiences. Mikaal Zulfiqar is one such actor, who quickly became a fan favourite because of his performances in Dhoop Chaaon and Aaina Dulhan Ka.
Zulfiqar believes Indian producers and directors should adopt a more realistic approach towards their shows, perhaps even making them shorter. The actor explained, “Pakistani serials are more inclined towards reality and it’s our strength. It’s not necessary that murder or infidelity will only add drama to the serials.
He further adds: “In our country, serials narrate about small household issues. For instance, it’s not necessary that the business deal should be of Rs500 crore, it could be of Rs10 lakh as well. I feel there’s no need to go into such elaborations.”
“Indian TV is probably influenced by Indian cinema, which is larger than life. But in case of Bollywood, such portrayal works. Cinema is to entertain and it exudes a feel good factor if it is full of songs and dance sequences.” He said.
