I'd like for Fawad to balance both, but that doesn't seem likely for now. However, honestly speaking..I don't really miss watching Fawad on tv as much as I thought I would...and I genuinely do mean that.
Content is king on Pakistani television. Fawad has shows to his credit which have flopped because those shows genuinely were not high on content..even he couldn't have saved them. As long as I can genuinely enjoy one or two shows in a year or so with good acting..it won't matter who's acting in these shows. I miss a lot of actors who've taken a break from Pakistani shows..but I honestly don't feel like the world is coming to an end without them..same is the case with Fawad.
I also think it's insulting to some of the other hard working actors in Pakistan who are genuinely very good themselves and show a lot of potential to do well, if not shown already. Pakistani television doesn't begin and end on Fawad, never has and never will. If he does Pakistani shows in between, that'd be great and that's because he's a great actor. Also, a Pakistani show is different than a Bollywood movie. I can go watch some scenes from ZGH or Dastaan countless times but I would never do that with a Khoobsurat. It was hard enough watching it the first time. I like Bollywood movies, but I'm very picky with Bollywood movies also (I'm the same with Pakistani shows..I don't watch many at a time). In the past 2 years or so..I've only really loved a Lootera or a Queen. So, basically..I've come in terms with accepting that Fawad will do whatever he wants..and if he doesn't balance work on both ends..then that's fine..at the end it's his choice. A good Pakistani show can honestly do without a Fawad anyway...always has.
