After much demand, a Pakistani drama will now be aired in Turkey after being dubbed. Senator Faisal Javed Khan broke the news on Twitter.
Faisal Javed tweeted that a Pakistani drama will be dubbed in Turkish and aired in Turkey. This move is part of ‘bilateral exchange of knowledge, ideas, talent and content between the Pakistani and Turkish entertainment industries’.

As of yet, no Pakistani drama serial has officially headed to the West. However, even if the undisclosed Pakistani serial is decided, the public has suggestions of their own.
From classics like Irteqa and Alpha Bravo Charlie…..
I recommend Old serials of PTV,

Pakistan’s military dramas have often garnered praise. So Ehd-e-Wafa was a strong contender.
Please Ehd-e-Wafa 😍😍😍

Some suggested recent romantic hits like Zindagi Zulzar Hai, Humsafar, Aun Zara. Even our own period drama Dastaan. Turkey’s entertainment industry has made its own niche of period pieces, do we really want to contend with that?
So what will we share with Turkey ? Will it be Humsafar , ZGH or Ehdewafa? Why not Aunzara ? Will it be Alif ? How about Dastan https://t.co/fXsOFszIKQ

Meanwhile, Senator Faisal Javed also announced that state broadcaster, Pakistan Television (PTV) will air new episodes of Ertugrul Ghazi throughout Ramzan at 7:45 pm.
Despite Turkish dramas first being introduced in Pakistan with Ask-e-Memnu and later grabbing popularity with period dramas like Mera Sultan, Ertugrul Ghazi broke all viewership records.
