The struggle that started in 1857 culminated to its peak in the year 1947 when people of the sub-continent finally got independence. India and Pakistan both appeared on the world map and since then Pakistan has gone through many struggles. We lost Quaid e Azam a year after the country came into being. We have had a long list of tragedies from losing Fatima Jinnah, Madar e Millat, the separation of East Pakistan, multiple dictatorships, the never-ending hell that is the so-called war on terror and thousands of lives lost. But the country is still standing and the citizens are still resilient. Such is the spirit of pakistan and such is the spirit of Pakistanis.

PTV is the oldest channel in the country. There was a time that Pakistanis only had the national channel for entertainment as well as news. All the dramas used to air from PTV and it had the monopoly over all the work in the industry. This also explains the reverence old Pakistani actors and actresses still hold for their old channel. PTV at that time produced great gems and many of the dramas are still loved by the audience.
The channel, however, went through a nose dive as private channels came in and PTV just could not keep up with the demands of the viewers. Some one off events do keep happening and an award show by the name of PTV Icon Awards were held which was attended by the then Prime Minister as well as his old cabinet members. Many stars attended the event and several were awarded that night. Here are a few glimpses. Check out:
