Talat Hussain is Not Impressed by Present Day Dramas
The veteran actor said that the dramas that are being produced these days are beyond his understanding.
“The truth is, I don’t get many offers for acting these days. I was offered for a play or two but when I read the script, I couldn’t understand a thing and denied them. When you read the script, you will find stupid conversations. There is nothing more than wife, daughter and saas bahu fights, in today’s dramas.”
