Kaif is a fantastic Pakistani performer who has done many theater plays and Pakistani dramas. Though she never got the deserving appreciation yet the work she has done in the past is worth applauding. Kaif was recently spotted in an interview with “Fuchsia Magazine”.
Kaif while talking about the challenges she face while playing Shabbo’s character in Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, mentioned that “I faced a lot of challenges while playing Shabbo’s character. I’m 42 years old and now I’m not meant to run up and down the stairs the way I did while playing this character.”
“There were a lot of scenes in which I had to just run up and down the stairs again and again. It was very challenging for me and the weather was too harsh when we were shooting for the drama.
The Pakistani entertainment industry has grown incredibly over the years. With the advent of private television channels, the revival of the film industry, and the advancement of technology this industry underwent a change that has its pros and cons. There are more opportunities now for the actors but there are also certain challenges which make their job more difficult than ever. We have seen many success stories from the industry in the past decade or so with actors going from playing supporting roles to becoming the top most leading actors in the country. We have also seen actors going into production and even direction. The room for growth in the industry is infinite but so are the frustrations and the challenges.
Nowadays, actors are more vocal than ever about the challenges they face unlike before when they did not speak about such things. These actors obviously are those who have attained a certain position in the industry and therefore they can speak their mind. Even now, these actors have to compromise constantly even though they have been associated with the industry for decades now. With the changing times, some senior actors had to face situations that they had never encountered before.
After watching so many different interviews of Pakistani celebrities, we have short-listed a list of challenges which the actors face yet they continue to entertain the viewers and do not let these hardships stand in their way.
[lwptoc]
The Race for Ratings
With the increase in the number of television channels, the competition is fiercer than ever. The viewers have so many different options to choose from and the sponsors also want to pick the dramas with the most viewership for sponsoring. As a result of this, there is pressure on the actors to be a part of such dramas that will appeal to the audience. Many of the viewers pick and choose a drama based on the actors who are in the cast. Therefore, an actor whose drama gets the ratings gets the most offers as well. There is constant pressure on the actors to choose projects which will guarantee viewership. Gone are the days when content was the king, nowadays ratings are the determining factor and it is obviously challenging for an actor to determine beforehand which drama will get the ratings that the producer and the channel desire. If an actor is consistently part of dramas that do not get the desired ratings, no matter how well they perform, their ‘demand’ in the industry is automatically, unfortunately, affected by it.
The Dearth of Quality Scripts
Due to the rating system and in an attempt to grasp the attention of the viewers, the quality of scripts has gone down. There are more dramas being made today than ever therefore there is a lot of repetition as well. If a drama with a certain storyline gets popular then most of the production houses want the writers to pen down scripts on the dame lines. Most producers and channels want to play it safe because at the end of the day they are in the business for the money.
Many of the veteran and even the younger actors have often shared how frustrated they feel working on television since there is a dearth of quality scripts. They all agree that most stories revolve around more or less the same angles. Some of them have to choose scripts they are not satisfied with because they need to continue working. Others have distanced themselves from the television industry because the scripts do not appeal to them.
Even those actors who are really passionate and find it difficult to take a break are forced to do so because there aren’t enough quality scripts to choose from. Some of these actors have been part of the drama industry since the PTV days and they often share how different things are now and how the quality is going downhill with every passing year.
Pressure from Production Houses & Public
Most of the actors do not talk about the pressure from the production houses directly but it is quite evident that many of them have ended up choosing certain projects because they did not want to displease a certain producer. Since the relationship between the actors and the producers is more like that of a boss and an employee nowadays instead of team members, the actors do not get the creative space they need and most often end up taking instructions from the producers.
Apart from this, there is also constant pressure on the actors from the public since a majority of their fans and followers want to see them a certain way and do not accept their individuality in a way that they get the kind of freedom they need in order to grow and work in a relaxed way.
Delay in Payments
It is truly sad that nowadays more than ever even the top actors of the industry do not get their pays on time. Many actors have often talked about this issue, some of them get paid after years of doing their projects and others don’t get paid at all. In a recent interview, Nauman Ijaz openly talked about the delay in payments which definitely makes the job of an actor even more difficult. Even though acting demands a lot of time and a great deal of effort, the actors who have to run their houses obviously have to venture into other fields as well because they need to keep earning. Some of them have turned into writers solely because they were running out of money even though they were continuously working. While the producers keep on investing in new projects, they do not pay those who have already worked for them and Noman Ijaz blames the broadcaster more than the producer for it.
This is a big challenge for creative individuals since they have to continue working with people who already owe them salaries. The fact that more actors are coming out and openly talking about this issue goes to show that this is, unfortunately, a common phenomenon in the industry.
Instant & Insensitive Feedback
Things have changed vastly due to social media. Every person watching television nowadays has easy access to social media and most often people are quick to share their opinions about everything from the episode which just aired to the statements given by the celebrities. Apart from this, whenever an episode of a drama is uploaded on YouTube, people give their feedback. This instant feedback can at times be the biggest challenge for an actor since even the smallest of mistakes are picked up by the audience and people most often are not very kind while sharing their opinions. There are also so many people who can be harsh and insensitive while sharing these opinions, this is perhaps the most difficult challenge for an actor.
Maintaining Public Image
The viewers consider actors their ‘property’ and therefore they have certain expectations from them. Even though they follow these celebrities and call themselves their die-hard fans, there is little room for these celebrities to cross those boundaries which the viewers have set for them. The females in particular have to try really hard to protect their public image. Wearing a revealing dress or giving a statement that might hurt people’s sentiments can result in ruining their public image. Even the male actors have to constantly make sure that they do not do anything which hurts the sensitivities of the public. There was a time when actors were more focused on their work and they did not have to put in so much effort to maintain this image since the interaction with the public was not as much as it is today due to technological advancement.
Disrespect from Producers & Channels
Even the most veteran actors have shared how they have been mistreated on the sets by those who run the show and even the co-actors. Everyone knows about the Badar Khalil controversy and how Sultana Siddiqui gave Fawad Khan preference over her. She openly talked about how senior actors are made to sit for hours while the new actors come late on the set and get their scenes recorded first. The channels and the producers have lost respect for the senior actors and in order to be heard, they need to put their foot down.
Imran Ashraf shared how for the longest time he was the one serving tea to everyone because he was just another supporting actor on the set. He also shared in one of his interviews how he was mistreated by his co-actors. Someone as well-known as Muhammad Ahmed faced the same difficulties because he was too polite. Therefore even if an actor is giving his best, he still has to face these situations which are not in his control at all.
The Social Media Angle
Social media has given actors an edge as well but if you look at the bigger picture most actors are not happy with the way social media has impacted their work. Sonya Hussyn and many others have openly shared how important following on social media has become now. The popular actors do not just get acting projects but they get the sponsorships and advertisements as well. Apart from working hard in the field, the actors therefore have to dedicate their energies and resources towards having a definite presence on social media as well because it affects the kind of work they get. This is a real challenge for all those actors who want their work to define them and not the number of followers they have on social media.
Typecasting & Biased
If an actor does well in a certain role, the producers play it safe by casting him in similar roles repeatedly. This definitely affects the diversity which an actor would like to show on the screen. Since nowadays the focus is primarily on ratings and playing it safe, this is happening more than ever. Not only this, more than the performance itself, the looks of an actor also contribute to what kind of a role he will be offered. There are actors such as Imran Ashraf and Gohar Rasheed who are trying hard to swim against the tide. The fact however remains that in the industry especially nowadays the outward appearance of an actor plays a major role in getting him certain kinds of projects.
Even the actresses are chosen based on their skin color which is extremely sad. Therefore, apart from polishing their craft, the actors have to often resort to cosmetic procedures in order to bag quality projects and get noticed by the producers.
Staying Relevant
Another big challenge for those actors who have crossed a certain age is staying relevant. Most of them feel frustrated that Pakistani dramas revolve around the younger lot and therefore they continue to play supporting roles although there are so many stories related to their age group that needs to be told.
Because of this issue, there are so many talented actors who are simply relegated to the background because of their age. The talent, therefore, takes a backseat and age comes first. This makes it difficult for the older actors to stay relevant since there aren’t a lot of roles that are meaty enough to get them the kind of attention they deserve. Although actors do not have a shelf life, in such a scenario their shelf life is highly dependent on the production houses and even the best of actors have to try really hard to stay in the picture and get noticed.
Kudos to all those actors who give commendable performances and continue to impress us despite all these challenges. It is also good to see them talking about the issues they face with so much confidence. There is definitely a need for unions and proper laws that would safeguard the interests of these actors. Also, there is a dire need for diversity in the industry so that everyone who is talented would get to contribute to it in a way that satisfies their creative side as well.
Do share your thoughts about the challenges faced by the actors and what do you think should be done about it?
Babar Zaheer is one of the most talented and famous makeup artist in industry. Not just a makeup artist, Babar is truly a magician who enhance one’s beauty with his makeup skills. Babar was recently spotted in an interview with “Fuchsia Magazine”.
Babar Zaheer while talking about his most challenging project, mentioned that “The challenge I faced in Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay was that there was no makeup. It was one of the biggest challenge for me to give them a look according to their character without any makeup.”
“Mahira didn’t use foundation in the whole project. I just used to apply a little amount of concealer and a lip balm to complete her look. However, we used makeup for Kubra’s look, but not that much”, added Babar Zaheer.
Pakistani filmmakers have been on a roll since quite some time and they come out with great movies every season. Adding to the list of much awaited movies of the year is also Chalay Thay Saath.
The trailer features the whole cast on their way to a road trip in the northern areas of Pakistan. The striking elements of the trailer include that the scenery and natural imagery is beautiful. The amazing chemistry between Syra and Kent will strike you instantly and you’ll be left wanting for more.
Apart from elements of humor and aesthetically pleasing imagery, the trailer moves towards a dramatic setting as fights break out between different characters.
Chalay Thay Saath’s second music video ‘Bolo’ has been released!
Bolo is a soulful and melodious song with an amazing video that shows the beauty of northern areas of Pakistan. The soothing music video is making us fall in love with the serene beauty of Pakistan.
Chalay Thay Saath is slated to release on April 21st. The movie will mark Syra Shehroze’s debut in Pakistani cinema. Chalay thay Saath revolves around the character of Resham (played by Syra). Canadian-Chinese actor, Kent S Leung will be playing the lead role opposite Syra Shahroz.

The film’s trailer released earlier in March and received a positive response from the critics. Written by Atiya Zaidi and co-produced by Beenish Umer and Umer Adil, the cast also includes Behroz Sabzwari, Mansha Pasha, Osama Tahir, Zhalay Sarhadi, Faris Khalid, Shamim Hilaly and Sherbaz Kaleem.
A post shared by Chalay Thay Saath (@chalaythaysaath) on
After the first song Pariyan, Chalay Thay Saath’s complete soundtrack is released on Patari and we must say, we’re impressed. And yes, the music of the film is just as interesting as the trailer. The score of the film has been done by producer Abbas Ali Khan, and a few artists such as Mooroo and Sikandar Ka Mandar have also lent their music for the film.
After listening to the music, one can surely say that we finally have some good, authentic and original Pakistani music which is not inspired by Bollywood.
A post shared by Chalay Thay Saath (@chalaythaysaath) on
The original soundtrack of Chalay Thay Saath consists of six songs.
1) The song Pariyaan by Bell is refreshing and gives a peaceful feeling, it’s written in depth and offers a music that touches the core.
2) Mariam by Moro is more like a full of life song with some cool tone.
3) Jeep Racey by East Side Story is a fun song with a touch of desi music and lyrics. It’s enjoyable and truly Pakistani.
4) Khalis Makhan by Bakshi brothers & Natasha Noorani is a soft song. It gives the feeling of serenity with soulful music which is extremely pleasing and a soothing to the ears.
5) The Jinn by Behroze Sabzwari is an ordinary song and doesn’t have much to offer.
6) The last but not the least, Bolo by Sikandar ka Mandar & Natasha Noorani gives a good feeling with some exceptional voices.
Listen to the complete soundtrack of Chalay Thay Saath here.
Chalay Thay Saath is all set to release on the 21st of April and we can’t wait to watch the film since it promises to be a journey of love and friendship. The makers of Chalay Thay Saath released the first song Pariyaan, and we have helplessly fallen in love with the track.
The video song shows friendship and also highlights the relationship between Resham (Syra Shehroze) and Adam (Kent S. Leung).
Sung by Shahab Hussain, and written by Shahab Hussain and Zeeshan Lalani, the beautiful melody is not to be missed.
The highlight of the song is the exquisite video which is shot in scenic locations like Hunza, making it a visual treat. Judging from the song, seems like the film is going to be high on emotions.
Chalay Thay Saath, is an upcoming Urdu film produced in Karachi. It will be the debut movie for Syra Shehroz and is shot in Gilgit Baltistan and Karachi. Though Syra Shehroz made a cameo appearance in the film Ho Mann Jahan released in January 2016, Chalay Thay Saath is the film she is appearing in a lead role.
Its first look was revealed a couple of days ago in which the male lead aritst was not announced. News were that it is a Chinese artist and today his name is made public. The male lead of this film is played by Kent S. Leung. Kent S. Leung is a Canadian artist of Chinese origin.

Few clicks of the film during shooting in the Gilgit Baltistan.
Last year Syra Shahroz made her film debut with Chalay Thay Saath. Chalay Thay Saath featured Syra Shahroz, Kent S Leung, Mansha Pasha as well as Zhalay Sarhadi. The film showed the beauty of northern areas of Pakistan and the storyline was quite different from the other releases of Pakistan.
Chalay Thay Saath will now be screened at the SCO Film Festival in China which will be held from 13th June to 17th June. The Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage has selected CTS to represent Pakistan on an International platform.
Syra is extremely excited to be representing Pakistan on an International platform. This is a good news for Pakistan and Pakistani cinema indeed!
The movie seems to have failed at the box office. According to unofficial, unconfirmed sources, the lifetime collections of the film is approximately 1.5 crore rupees. Unfortunately, not a single film could do well on box office this year until now.
Chalay Thay Saath was a highly awaited movie produced by We Think Films and in association with Hot Water Bottle Films. All in all, Chalay Thay Saath has emerged as a flop!

Upcoming Film “Chakkar” starring Neelum Munir and Ahsan Khan in lead roles, is produced by Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir. Chakkar has also been directed by Yasir Nawaz and is all set to release this on Eid-ul-Fitr 2022. The film also stars Javed Sheikh, Ahmed Hasan, Mehmood Aslam and Naved Raza amongst others. The story of film “Chakkar” revolves around murder mystery and thriller.
Recently, the most awaited trailer of “Chakkar” is finally out. The trailer shows glimpses of Neelam Muneer and Ahsan Khan in different avatars, with some thrill, action and romance. The trailer claims that Chakkar is going to be intriguing like never seen before. Have a look at the tariler!
Right after the official trailer was released, the audience had mixed reviews. Many of the netizens loved the trailer, while others were quite offended with the poor editing style, same storyline and characters. Here’s what audience had to say!
Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz have recently produced another movie after Wrong Number and Mehrunnisa We Love You. The cast of the movie includes Neelum Muneer, Ahsan Khan, Yasir Nawaz & Naveed Raza. Nowadays, they are promoting their movie in full swing. They are visiting different places to promote the movie.
Recently, the cast has visited the Shrine of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi. Well, the cast didn’t only visit the Shrine and prayed for the film but they have made a whole vlog on it. The cast actually had Photos with people.
–
Public is not happy with this act of the cast, they said that it is the most stupid thing and canbe called Shirk and Biddat. They also said that it is disgrace of the Shrine that the actors are visiting it for the worldy purpose like the business of a film. They said that these actors can go to any low to promote their projects. Fans are not at all happy with this kind of ridiculousness. Public finds it disturbing that the actors go to any limit for their benefits. People find it harmful as not only the act promotes Biddat but such acts are done by Indian actors and Pakistani actors are just following their path.
Arshad Khan aka Chaiwala is the true example how powerful social media is. Arshad was clicked while making chai in Islamabad by a photographer. The picture went viral within seconds as people found him very handsome. From there he started getting modelling offers and did photoshoots, music videos and even walked the ramp during fashion week. Here is a latest shoot for destination:
The “love” that Chain Aaye Na received after its trailer launch is not hidden from anyone. The four minute long trailer was so emotion quaking that people were rendered speechless by it. It was followed by a delay in release date as well as the release of Shaadi song on the tunes of which the whole Lahore was dancing and we have not yet discovered why. Now is the time to listen to the title song and let the chords of your heart strung by the melody. The only question you will be asking yourself is why the leading lady spending all her time with the bad guy while the good guy is singing a romantic song for her. Take a look at the song:
The trailer for the movie Chain Aye Na was finally released yesterday, and has left everyone in shock. All through the years of the entertainment industry, Pakistan has definitely witnessed some awkward video songs and movie productions, but Chain Aye Na‘s trailer probably broke all records of ineptness. Painful as it might be to suggest it, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, might as well do so to get the idea (We apologize for the next horrible 4 minutes of your life)
Starting off from the poor editing skills, to the horrific body shaming scenes and the absence of any good plot or story line even in the four unbearable minutes of the trailer, it is beyond our comprehension as to what motivated Syed Noor to produce such a film that will only tarnish the reputation of Pakistan’s film industry. Speaking of which, we have the people’s reactions to prove it:
Here are the replies on Twitter:
Just wasted precious 4 minutes of my life watching trailer, S.Noor plz stop makun movies n start living.
Ouch? It seems like people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that while Syra is trying to work in films like ChalayThay Saath and Project Ghazi to uplift the Pakistani cinema, how come her husband is doing the exact opposite?
However, there have been certain optimistic comments by people who sure know how to keep their spirits high,
All in all, it is a little mystifying why such great actors agreed to work for a film that does not in any way look promising.
Let’s hold on to the tagline of ‘Believe In Miracles’ because it looks like the only thing that might save this movie from a disastrous end!
Would you like to add something or share your views? Let us know with your comments!
Syed Noor is returning to direction with Chain Aaye Na. The film stars Shahroze Sabzwari, Sarish Khan, Adil Murad, Mustafa Qureshi, Atiqa Odho, Nadeem and Behroze Sabzwari. Before giving an insight into the film, Noor said he was going to bring back dignified films to the screen. Chain Aaye Na’s trailer is out and IT IS SHOCKING! Have a look!
The film claims to be a love story and whether it is what it claims to be or not, only will become clear after its release. The film is set to release on July 21. They need to hire a better editor too as the trailer is very disconnected. Share your thoughts on the trailer!
