KARACHI: Pakistani actor Faran Tahir expresses his discontent with the portrayal of parenthood in television dramas, stating that in every series he has participated in, the children have been depicted negatively.

This revelation came during a promotional interview for ARY Digital’s latest drama series ‘Daree Najat’, where he plays the role of Zaryab’s father, Darfashan Saleem.

Tahir, who has gained international acclaim for his performances, shared his thoughts on the recurring theme of dysfunctional families in Pakistani dramas. He emphasized that while storytelling is crucial, the representation of children as problematic figures can have adverse effects on societal perceptions of family dynamics.
