Abbas happy new Indian channel to air Pak shows

MUMBAI: Pakistani TV actor Imran Abbas was present at the launch on Monday of a new Indian channel in Mumbai.
The actor is happy that Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited’s new channel “Zindagi” will beam Pakistan TV’s top rated shows in India.
With handpicked stories by acclaimed writers, the channel will launch June 23 and will air shows like “Aunn Zara” and “Zindagi Gulzar Hai.”
“These are Pakistan’s best top rated projects that have garnered highest TRPs. So it’s a good thing that those shows are being shown, which have been our favorites,” said Imran at the launch Monday.
“We have been enjoying your shows for a long time.
First the Indian channels were aired illegally and then Indian channels were banned.
“But then they found a new way. The channels bought the rights of the Indian shows and started airing them. So we know all your actors, their families. You might not know about them as much as we do,” he added.
Talking about his show ‘Mera Naseeb’, Imran Abbas said: “You will see something about Pakistan which you don’t see on news channels. People think that women in Pakistan only wear burqas which isn’t true. In fact even films don’t show the real side.”
Along with TV serials, “Zindagi” will also telecast Pakistani telefilms.
Imran has also signed a Bollywood film, Vikram Bhatt’s directorial venture “Creature 3D” with Bipasha Basu.
