Here’s why Yasir Nawaz doesn’t care about drama reviews

Given how big the drama industry is in Pakistan, it is natural that all serials will be closely watched and reviewed. This could lead to clashes between reviewers and crew. Director and actor Yasir Nawaz says croyics don't bother him.

 Appearing as a guest on Faysal Quraishi’s podcast, the Ghair director shared his thoughts on the growing trends of drama reviews and how he handles social media trolling.

Yasir Nawaz said, “Nowadays, reviews are a trend. Danish asked me if I get angry when people give negative reviews about my dramas. I said I don’t care; let them review it. Though negative reviews for films can harm them a bit, I’ve often said that film reviews should come after a week or ten days. People invest time and money to watch films, unlike dramas, where anyone can comment freely.”

Faysal Quraishi asked, “Have you come across any weird comments about yourself on social media?”

Yasir Nawaz replied, “I don't take social media trolling too seriously now. Initially, I used to get affected. If a page posted a picture of mine or [his wife] Nida's and there was trolling, I would even call the page admin and ask them to delete it or block the comments. But now I don’t take it seriously."

He went on to narrate an incident when Nida’s Formula 1 outfit was being discussed on social media. "It bothered her for two or three days. I told her to ignore it and respond in a way that shows we don’t care. Let them talk; it doesn't matter to us.”

When it comes to superstars in the entertainment industry, the Inspector Sabiha actor shared his preference between Sajal Aly, Hania Aamir and Iqra Aziz.

“I would rate Sajal Aly the highest. When we worked together on Chup Raho, I was captivated by her expressions during edits. She is an exceptional actress and knows how to deliver lines perfectly. I haven’t worked with Hania and Iqra, but Sajal remains my favorite."

 Yasir Nawaz has starred in dramas such as Badaltay Mausam, Mohlat, Aik Mohabat Sau Afsanay, Jannat, Dil Diya Dahleez Bikhray Moti, Dil Zaar Zaar, Chaudhry and Sons and Mera Dil Mera Dushman.

Yasir Nawaz’s calm approach to drama reviews and social media trolling reflects his confidence and focus on his work, making him a resilient figure in the entertainment industry.
