What's your story behind the blog?
I've been very very passionate about my Pakistani dramas since 2015 and I've watched over 50 dramas now (but still re-watch my favourites every year). I feel I've developed a close eye for detail and the ability to understand what elements make a good drama.
I began watching the award shows in 2017 and very much disagreed with the awards that were presented in certain categories. I really want to be part of the jury panel/critics that decides the winners! I feel like my opinions are justified and worth being heard.
Recently, I've met many people online who I've discussed my opinions with about the latest dramas and I like to create a form of debate. I love to recommend people dramas to watch and I love it when someone has watched an underrated drama that I love!
In December 2021, I grabbed the lucky opportunity to meet my favourite actor- Feroze Khan! I've religiously followed him since before the Khaani hype and never miss his dramas. Oh but never did I think I would be able to talk to him in person! We sat down and I mainly interviewed him about his work life which he responded to carefully and appreciated my style of questioning and how interested I've been in his work since the start of his career. Then it really hit me afterwards when I watched back the recording of my video, what I asked him, how I asked him, and how he responded that I really want to DO something proactive in this field. A week later, I was still practically watching the video every day and then well I got covid and was stuck in my room isolating and I thought I love reading Fuchsia magazine reviews and watching the interviews...how about I try this? Well, here we are!
