Zee Zindagi Bans Pakistani Shows, Launches New Interesting Shows
I have never watched a single show on Zee Zindagi despite its popularity in India right from the time it was launched in 2014. Many of my friends went gaga over shows like Zindagi Gulzar Hain and Aadhe Adhoore but despite all the good reviews, never once did I feel like tuning in to that channel. Reason? The shows were Pakistani and nothing from Pakistan will ever gain my approval. Well, I have nothing against Pakistani artists, but when the whole world is aware that most of the terror attacks in India have been financed by Pakistan, I do not want to add to their revenue and sponsor my own death. The same goes for Chinese shows. I am an Asian drama addict. I binge watch shows from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan but never have I ever watched a single show from China. If I find an Asian drama’s story interesting, the first thing I check is if it is a Chinese show. If yes, then I don’t spend a single second on that show ever again. Reason? I told you already, I do not want to sponsor my death.
It was a good gesture on the part of Zee TV to promote friendship by telecasting Pakistani shows in India but sadly, our neighbour has never reciprocated our love in any way. And today, I feel extremely proud that Zee TV has decided to halt telecast of Pakistani content on Zee Zindagi, following the Pathankot and Uri attacks. As reported by Indian Express, Chairman of Zee, Subhash Chandra said, “Pyaar ek tarfa nahi ho sakta (love cannot be one-sided)”. He stated that the decision to stop Pakistani content was taken a day after the Uri attack. (Salute to the boss!!)
As reported by DNA India, starting from today Zee Zindagi will be launching new shows from countries like Turkey, Spain, Italy, Latin America, and Korea (Yay!!! I can’t wait to see Korean dramas on my television. Thank You Zee! You have just won a loyal viewer.)
Let’s have a look at the shows that will be airing from 3rd October onwards on Zee Zindagi.
