In a candid and emotional interview, renowned actor Mehmood Aslam, best known for his role in the beloved sitcom Bulbulay, shared his profound disillusionment with the current state of Pakistan. "I often think about the Pakistan of my childhood – it was in our hearts, we loved it very much. It was the kind of Pakistan you would be willing to sacrifice your life for. The kind of respect we had for the country, for each other – the difference between elders and the young. That respect has gradually come to an end," he lamented.

Aslam did not shy away from further critiquing and pointed out, "We go around beating drums that Pakistan is this or that. But if you look at the country’s position right now, what are we rejoicing at? Look at your passport. Wherever you go in the world, they push you to the back and treat you horribly."

"This is slavery. We are drowning in debt. Every single child of ours has debt in lacs. So tell me what should I be proud of? What is there to applaud by saying ‘Pakistan Zindabad’?" Aslam questioned, his voice heavy with sorrow.
