Kya Drama Hai judges target Talha Chahour once again. Talha Chahour is a new entrant in the drama industry and he has done a handful of projects. He was able to impress with his debut drama Jo Bichar Gaye and he has since done other shows like Wabaal and Jannat Se Aagay. He is currently shining as Qais in Jama Taqseem but he has failed to impress the judges of Kya Drama Hai.
Talha Chahour hails from Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab and he has always proudly shared about his roots during interviews. He obviously has a little Punjabi accent when he speaks Urdu as he hails from “Punjab”. The actor has been under criticism by the judges of Kya Drama Hai, Nadia Khan, Marina Khan and now Bushra Ansari. They are not “fans” of his accent and trolled him for how he speaks his dialogue.
Nadia Khan shared that she spoke to Talha Chahour about his accent on the phone. Bushra Ansari praised how well Talha looks in Qais’s character and also tried to soften the other judges criticizing his accent. Marina Khan kept emphasizing that his accent looks jaring and too Punjabi. They also think Punjabi accent is Paindu.
This is what these judges had to say:
The internet is baffled by such senior actors criticizing a young actor for his accent. Moreover they termed Punjabi as Paindu. One user wrote, “Three women demonstrating true jahalat by equating Punjabi with paindupan.” Another added, “There is nothing paindu about Punjabi accent.” One said, “Karachi industry is basically putting up barriers for other artists in this way.” One went, “Are they putting hurdles in the way of a young actor as he is an outsider?” Here is the reaction:
