In a recent outing on a private TV channel’s talk show, with fellow veteran Behroze Sabzwari, the two weighed in on Pakistan’s media industry losing its quality and standard in recent times, despite the better perks and payscale for the new lot of actors.

While Sabzwari highlighted the idea that education has a significant role to play in an individual to learn basic ethics, Afgan believed that every profession needs ‘discipline, drill and commitment’.

“Even if you are a method actor, you must hold great command of your skill. If you have to cry in a scene, you must know how to do it three different ways, and where you have a margin for improvement,” she detailed. “Unfortunately, the new actors, they are so fickle — I’m sorry to use this word — but they lack focus, I guess because of social media and everything.”
