By people she means the middle-class. She says the upper middle class here has options for entertainment. They have the internet, Hollywood and books, but for the middle-class, there is only TV.
“A lot of them sit at home and watch TV as they can’t afford other forms of entertainment. So, we try to do shows which have inspirational value,” says the actor.
Sanam started out by being a model, following which she became a video jockey, did theatre, tried her hand at standup comedy and is also a singer, apart from being an actor.
Having immortalised strong women-oriented roles on TV screens here, young and multi-faceted Sanam Saeed, known to Indian audiences as Kashaf Murtaza of Zindagi Gulzar Hai, says that while India makes the most of its filmmaking capacity to tell stories, the medium in Pakistan is TV. Other serials include Dayar-e- Dil, Dil Banjara, Kadoorat etc.
Sanam says:
“We don’t make many films, and hardly have theatres. A majority of people seek entertainment while sitting at home and TV gives it to them, so we excel on that part,” she adds.
On a final note, the actor says: “I’m glad that the shows are having a positive impact on people in India – it’s the same effect that they had on people here.”
