'Bilawal used to watch Ainak Wala Jin episodes a day before they actually aired,' recalls Hamoon Jadugar

Remember the days when magic and laughter filled your TV screen? Ainak Wala Jin, the iconic Pakistani children's drama, not only entertained but also created unforgettable memories for a generation. Produced and aired by PTV Lahore, the series became a cultural phenomenon, blending humor and fantasy into a timeless story loved by all.

 One of the cast members of Ainak Wala Jin, Haseeb Pasha known as Hamoon Jaudgar, appearing as a guest on Adeel Asif podcast, he revealed that Ainak Wala Jin was such a hit that it would often be screened at Bilalwal House, the residence of the Bhutto family, two days before it aired on television.

Haseeb Pasha recalled saying, “Our drama Ainak Wala Jin used to go to Bilawal House two days in advance, first Bilalwal and Bakhtawar would watch it, and then a day later, the children of the general public would watch it. They would tell each other in school that 'Today, Hamoon Jadugar will do this, Zakoota Jin will do that', they would say such things. Our children would watch it a day later.” 

Pasha also noted that despite the show's massive popularity, the ruling elite never thought about creating content for children.

“The Government said they would continue the drama. Now, they have a big position, Zardari Sahab is in charge. He never thought about what to do for the children," Haseeb Pasha added.

Ainkak Wala Jin was directed by Hafeez Tahir and written by Abdul Hameed. 

The first episode was broadcast on April 25, 1993, and the series ran for a total of 152 episodes, concluding on July 4, 1996. The second season, Ainak Wala Jin 2, aired starting March 27, 2005, and continued until July 29, 2008, with 90 episodes in total.
