One can’t be that ignorant of not watching 7th Sky on going blockbuster ‘Khaie’. The drama serial has attained the status of a blockbuster within two months. Written by Saqlain Abbas, directed by Wajahat Hussain, the drama blends captivating violence with romantic elements, setting a new standard.
During a recent interview with a local television network, the lead actor Faysal Quraishi discussed fan responses and issues regarding the plot of Khaie. Quraishi highlighted concerns raised by certain viewers regarding the representation of specific communities, notably the Pashtun community, in the show.
Qureshi was jubilant with the feedback and said, “I am receiving a lot of messages from people who told me, without mentioning the names of their tribes and areas that they moved out from their native areas because of such rivalries. Their ancestors were indulged in rivalries, making it difficult for them to live in those areas. I received many such messages, and yes, they can connect to the story.”
He continued, “A few friends were upset as well, wondering why Pathans are shown in such a light. The thing is that we did not specifically say they are Pathan. It’s just the tone of speaking. Nowhere is anyone saying that they’re Pathan.”
Quraishi added that director Syed Wajahat Hussain had made it clear that the storyline is fictional and imaginative in nature. “Wajahat already told us that we’re creating our own world, and it’s a fictional story. Enjoy it,” he remarked.
Quraishi is on a spree of showcasing his versatility through diverse roles. With upcoming projects such as Abu Aleeha’s ‘Mango Jutt,’ slated for release on Bari Eid, and the recently completed filming of Rafay Rashidi’s horror film ‘Deemak,’ he consistently surprises viewers with his performances.
