Tamgha-e-Imtiaz recipient Mehwish Hayat recently took to social media to share her take on much-hyped Turkish series Diriliş: Ertuğrul or Ertugrul Ghazi.
The historical fiction series has been dubbed in Urdu for Pakistani audience and airs on Pakistan Television Network every day at 7:55 pm on the request of PM Imran Khan.
Many actors including Bilal Ashraf, Ahmed Ali Butt and Osman Khalid Butt have praised the series.
On the other hand, some artists including Mansha Pasha and Yasir Hussain are critical of Urdu dubbed foreign dramas being played on local television.
Addressing the ongoing debate around the Turkish drama, Hayat tweeted on Monday: “I don’t know what the fuss is all about? At the end of the day lets accept Dirilis #Ertugrul for what it is; an educational drama series which has historical significance and great moral lessons.”
