Television has always been a greater and more powerful medium in Pakistan. Our most significant actors such as Adnan Siddiqui, Humayun Saeed, Fawad Khan, Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan among others, all started their careers from dramas and later made it to films. However, in most cases, their work on the small screen is the reason behind their popularity.<\/p>\n
Adnan Siddiqui, whose successful career spans over three decades, posted pictures from the era of PTV and penned a heartfelt note.<\/span><\/p>\n “Transitioning from modelling to acting, the world of small screen welcomed me with open arms rare for a greenhorn. That was the time of PTV. Only one channel to choose from, it meant top-notch quality: actors, writers, directors, screenplays\u2026 The 70s and 80s weren\u2019t as technologically advanced and what the industry lacked here, it more than made up in the premium quality dramas it churned out. Television was informative, educative and entertaining\u2014all rolled into one,” he shared on Instagram.<\/p>\n “Three decades of being wedded to the small screen, I won\u2019t have it any other way. It made me who I am,” he confessed.<\/p>\n\n
