In a recent chat with a local TV network, seasoned Pakistani actor Faysal Quraishi delved into fan feedback about the popular drama series, Khaie. Addressing concerns over the portrayal of certain communities like the Pashtuns, Quraishi shared insights into the audience’s sentiments.
Acknowledging the feedback, Quraishi shared, “I’ve received messages from viewers expressing discomfort with certain portrayals, citing personal experiences of tribal rivalries. Many could relate to the story.”
Clarifying further, he added, “Some were upset about how certain characters spoke, assuming they were Pashtuns. However, the show doesn’t explicitly label any character as such. It’s all about the tone.”
Quraishi echoed director Syed Wajahat Hussain’s stance on the storyline’s fictional nature. “Wajahat emphasized that we’re crafting our own world, a work of fiction. So, let’s enjoy it,” he emphasized.
Khaie, starring Quraishi and Durefishan Saleem, has garnered widespread attention but also scrutiny for its depiction of conflicts mirroring real-life struggles. Quraishi’s response aims to address concerns while highlighting the creative liberties involved in storytelling.
His acknowledgment of viewers’ connections to the narrative suggests that, for some, the drama resonates with historical and societal challenges. However, emphasizing the distinction between fiction and reality remains crucial, underscoring the show’s intentions.
