Pakistani actors hosting transmissions has become a tradition during Ramadan. The main purpose of bringing mainstream actors into these transmissions is to attract ratings and views. Nowadays, Danish Taimoor, Faysal Quraishi, Omer Shahzad, and Bilal Qureshi are hosting Ramadan shows. Faysal Quraishi is leading the Ramadan transmission on Aan TV, where he invites religious figures, celebrities, and children to his show. Sometimes, actors also face backlash from the public, as fans believe that hosting a Ramadan transmission is a significant responsibility that actors are not capable of handling.
Faysal Quraishi has recently responded to the criticism of Pakistani actors hosting Ramadan transmission.
Faysal Quraishi said, “I have often heard and read that people object to actors hosting Ramadan transmissions and say, ‘Now they will teach us Islam?’ No, we do not intend to teach you the religion; we are also in our learning phase. I always strive to learn from these scholars. This is my fourth year hosting a Ramadan transmission, and I have been learning through this experience. You get to understand the purpose of life—like today, I learned from Surah Rahman how important it is to practice justice.” Here is the link to the video:
