Faysal Quraishi stressed that Pakistan should focus on promoting local content rather than foreign productions, arguing that Pakistani dramas on YouTube often received more views than episodes on Netflix.

Appearing on a podcast, he stated that Pakistani dramas were watched globally through free platforms, receiving millions of views. "If you look at our episodes on YouTube and compare them to an episode on Netflix, ours would have more views," Quraishi said.

The actor added, "Netflix and other platforms are running in Pakistan, but even then our dramas are watched around the world, whether by Pakistanis or people who understand Urdu or Hindi. Our competition is directly with Netflix series, and they go towards billions because our serials have so many episodes."

Quraishi also argued that India did not air Pakistani drama serials because of the competition they posed, while stressing that every country prioritised its own entertainment industry. "If we discuss competition, India is a big player, so why do they not play our dramas? Because they have their own thing. Their narrative is to stick to their local people," he stated.
