Apart from Pakistan, Hum Tv’s Sadqay Tumhare is also aired every week on HUM TV Europe. In Europe, England has a sizeable population of Pakistani origin apart from other South Asian communities.
The state run radio station of England, British Broadcasting Service also caters to the needs of South Asian communities through its broadcast. One such program is Asian Network Reports which is hosted by Noreen Khan.
The specialty of this week’s program is interview of Adnan Malik who made his television debut from Sadqay Tumhare.
The intersting bit from this interview is, Adnan Malik do not watch contemporary Pakistani dramas before Sadqay Tumhare, not even umsafar. Mahira Khan showed him few scenes of Humsafar which he thought were too cheesy. However he is fan of classic Pakistani dramas like Dhoop Kinaray and Tanhaiyan.
He has not interacted with Khalilur Rehman Qamar during or after the shooting of the drama for which Khalilur Rehman amar scolded Adnan on television while talking over phone in the introductory morning show in which Adnan and Mahira were participating. However as soon first episode was aired, Khailur Rehman Qamar called and said ‘you are khalil‘
Adnan Malik also has few habits similar to the character of Khalil. Adnan is cool minded person not as angry like Khalil but he does get cranky when hungry.
