“Actresses Look Like Rubber Dolls Now” – Tauqeer Nasir

Speaking candidly, Tauqeer Nasir pointed out that many modern actresses rely heavily on facial surgeries to enhance their beauty. This, he said, gives their features an unnatural, “rubber-like” appearance.

> “Back in the day, actresses embraced simplicity. At most, they’d get facials—but their charm came from natural beauty,” he stated.

His remarks drew attention for their blunt comparison but reflect growing concerns about the increasing reliance on cosmetic procedures in showbiz.

True Acting Is Fading Away

Nasir lamented that emotional expression, once the essence of acting, is now overshadowed by makeup and glamor. According to him, older dramas conveyed deep emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language—qualities that are often missing in today’s productions.

> “Today’s actors focus on appearance, not performance,” he emphasized.

Still Appreciates Some Talent

Despite his critique, Tauqeer Nasir acknowledged that not all hope is lost. He praised actresses Sajal Aly and Hania Aamir, calling them exceptions who bring real depth and sincerity to their work.

Directors Under Fire Too

Tauqeer Nasir didn’t limit his criticism to actors. He also questioned the commitment of modern-day directors. He noted that earlier, directors worked closely with actors on set, helping them shape each scene with precision. Now, many sit behind monitors, giving instructions remotely.

This shift, he said, has negatively impacted the overall artistic quality of TV dramas.

A Call to Return to Roots

Tauqeer Nasir’s comments reflect a wider frustration among veteran artists who believe the industry is drifting away from meaningful storytelling and sincere performances. His message is clear: the industry must balance s

tyle with substance to regain its former glory.

This casting choice has become a major talking point among fans and in the entertainment industry — not only for its on-screen depth but also due to their real-life relationship history.

A Power-Packed Drama with a Stellar Team

‘Main Manto Nahi Hoon’ marks the return of the blockbuster trio: Humayun Saeed, director Nadeem Baig, and writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar. The show’s teasers have already created massive buzz online.

The drama features a star-studded cast, and Nadeem Baig revealed that Sajal and Asif’s casting was entirely based on professionalism and mutual respect.

Director Nadeem Baig Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Insight

Speaking on Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show, director Nadeem Baig shared how he approached Asif Raza Mir for the role of Sajal’s father. After a moment of pause, Asif agreed and confirmed his professionalism, saying:

> “I am a professional actor. If Sajal has no objection, I have no issue playing her father.”

Later, Nadeem contacted Sajal Aly, who responded positively:

> “If he suits the role, please cast him. I have no problem at all.”

On-Set Camaraderie and Unexpected Bonding

Nadeem Baig recalled the first day of shooting when Asif and Sajal warmly greeted each other on set. From then on, their scenes were filled with natural chemistry — so much so that Nadeem joked about having to “scold them for talking and laughing too much” during serious scenes.

Their professionalism and comfort with each other set an example for other actors, proving that personal history doesn’t have to impact creative work.

A Strong Cast and a Long-Awaited Collaboration

Nadeem also revealed that Sajal Aly was his first choice for the student role in the drama. Having worked with her before in Kuch Ankahi and Sinf-e-Aahan, he was confident she would do justice to this character as well.

Despite early delays in production, the moment work began on Main Manto Nahi Hoon, Sajal was cast.

Saima Khan Joins the Cast After Reluctance

Another major highlight is Saima Khan joining the cast. Nadeem shared that he had always wanted to work with her and had called her multiple times. She initially refused the offer, but eventually agreed after persuasion — including a request via her husband and filmmaker Syed Noor.

“I always felt Saima was underutilized. In this drama, she gets

the spotlight she truly deserves,” Nadeem emphasized.
