Popular actor and host with numerous successful dramas under his belt, recently made a striking statement during a television show. He expressed his stance on television dramas and the portrayal of family relationships, stating that if he were appointed as the chairman of the censor board, he would opt to shut down all TV dramas.
In his remarks, Ijaz highlighted his concerns regarding the depiction of family dynamics in dramas, emphasizing that relationships were often portrayed in a derogatory manner. He lamented the degradation of family values and expressed his disappointment, questioning why viewers didn’t express their discontent more vehemently.
