Aapka drama sirf wahi log dekh rahe hai jinke paas apna drama behtar nahi hai... India mein toh intehaayi zeher drama hai. 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)."
