He gave the example that if a male actor arrives late or does not do a good job during the shooting of a play, then all the men in the team will become his friends and companions, but if an actress comes a little late, Complaints will be lodged.
He admitted that it is true that male team members are better friends than men while female members become better friends with actresses but actors cannot be friends with everyone, so they are discriminated against.
Referring to the problems of the showbiz industry, he said that in the Pakistani showbiz industry, even the basic necessities are not available to the actors yet.
Zara Noor Abbas said that Tamil and other film industries are moving forward and we are travelling backwards and we do not have access to basic facilities.
