When asked about the popularity of Pakistani shows in India, Yasir Hussain took a dig at Indian television, stating, “Have you seen their dramas? Nations with low-quality dramas are watching our shows. Who else is watching Pakistani dramas? Only those people are watching our dramas whose content is worse.”
