As Parizaad introduces a new character ‘Guru’ fans have been curious about this new development. Good thing the show’s writer is spilling the tea on the character.
In the drama serial, we see that Guru is transgender, which instantly got the public’s attention. In Pakistan, transgender roles are almost never given to transgender actors. Additionally, their representation is limited to their role in entertainment, rather than focusing on individual stories.
However, people expected better from Parizaad. From the drama serial calling our societal patriarchy to hypocrisy, Parizaad has been questioning norms.
It is one of the most famous dramas right now with its distinct storyline.
Now we’re looking forward to how the drama serial moves forward with the recent development to introduce Guru.
The show’s writer, Hashim Nadeem shared some tidbits about Guru’s character. In an Instagram post, the writer explained the inspiration behind this character. Turns out this character is based on someone Hashim Nadeem knew in real life.
“GURU”….
Pareezad shows the 13th episode with an entry of Guru.., A transgender with a heart of Gold but having an eye of the Tiger for his enemies.
Guru is a real life character..whom I met during my service posting tenure while I was serving as an Assistant Commissioner.
Pareezad is a tale of different characters, most of whom I have interacted during my different postings & I find myself privileged being a civil servant that I have observed many shades of life, which I’m sharing through my script with my audience”
