Yasir said, “Our industry is not a good industry. I don’t want my son to join this industry…Is this a job? An actor’s job is to do good acting. It’s a field where you should promote your craft, but consistently, you are being offered bad work.”
When the host said that India watches Pakistani shows, Yasir said, “India ke paas apna drama dekha hai aapne? Matlab woh nations jinke paas ghatiya quality ka drama hai woh humare drama zaroor dekh rahe hain. Uske alawa kon dekh raha hai aapka drama? Aapka drama sirf wahi log dekh rahe hai jinke paas apna drama behtar nahi hai…India mein toh intehaayi zeher drama hai (make shooting sounds). Hamara drama unse toh behtar hai isiliye woh dekh rahe hain (Have you watched in India dramas? Nations with low-quality dramas are watching our dramas. Who else is watching Pakistani dramas? Only those people are watching our dramas whose content is worse…India has excessively negative dramas. Our dramas are better than theirs, so they are watching it).”
This isn’t the first time that Yasir has criticised Indian content. Last year, he had reviewed Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and called it “storyless video game”. On Instagram Stories, he had posted, “Agar aap mission impossible 1 bhi dekh chuky hain toh Shah Rukh Khan ki Pathan aap ko aik story less video game se zyada kuch nahi lagy gi (If you have seen the first Mission Impossible, then you will feel that Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan is like a story less video game, nothing more).”
Yasir is better known as the host of The After Moon Show on Hum TV. The TV and theatre actor made his film debut in the Pakistani film Karachi Se Lahore (2015). He wrote the film which was directed by Wajahat Rauf. Yasir, who is married to TV actor Iqra Aziz, is currently starring in the drama serial Baandi as an antagonist.
