Television has always been a greater and more powerful medium in Pakistan. Our most significant actors such as Adnan Siddiqui, Humayun Saeed, Fawad Khan, Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan among others, all started their careers from dramas and later made it to films. However, in most cases, their work on the small screen is the reason behind their popularity.
Adnan Siddiqui, whose successful career spans over three decades, posted pictures from the era of PTV and penned a heartfelt note.
“Transitioning from modelling to acting, the world of small screen welcomed me with open arms rare for a greenhorn. That was the time of PTV. Only one channel to choose from, it meant top-notch quality: actors, writers, directors, screenplays… The 70s and 80s weren’t as technologically advanced and what the industry lacked here, it more than made up in the premium quality dramas it churned out. Television was informative, educative and entertaining—all rolled into one,” he shared on Instagram.
“Three decades of being wedded to the small screen, I won’t have it any other way. It made me who I am,” he confessed.
“From Uroosa to
Meray Paas Tum Ho, it’s been one ride. Given a choice, I’ll always choose the small screen over its big brother, I owe it all to TV,” the actor tweeted about his acting experience on World Television Day.
