WEB DESK: With all the tension rising because of recent Uri attacks, after political party in Maharashtra, and singer Abhijeet Bhatacharya threaten Pakistani actors to leave India, and gave a deadline of 48 hours, another response has surfaced against Pakistan. 

Pakistani dramas were on aired in India by ZEE channel, namely Zee Zindagi, and were very much appreciated there. Now, amid all the tension, the channel has decided to ban the Pakistani dramas.

Subhash Chandra Goel, Chairman of Essel Group and Zee Media, tweeted about the same today. In his Tweet, he wrote, “unfortunate stance of Mia Sharif at UN. Zee is considering stopping Zindagi programs from Pak,as well artists from there should leave.”

Zindagi is the first channel to syndicate content from countries such as Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey. Zindagi was launched with three most popular shows from across the border — Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Aunn Zara and Kaash Main Teri Beti Na Hoti. Soon the channel became popular with the Indian masses and since then they have been airing Pakistani shows and making original Indian content as well.

With a strong message from Chairman of Essel, Group things will get more serious from here on. The party (MNS) has also written an open letter to Bollywood producers and production houses, asking them why they need to rope in actors from the neighbouring country when enough talent is available in India.
