Actor Faysal Qureshi asks audiences to enjoy his ongoing drama serial ‘Khaie’ as a fictional story. The show has received mixed responses from audiences for its stereotypical portrayal of a certain community.
Qureshi clarified the story of the show in a recent interview, calling it a fictional story, and asking the audience to take it as a piece of entertainment.
“I am receiving a lot of messages from people who told me, without mentioning the names of their tribes and areas, that they moved out from their native areas because of such rivalries. Their ancestors were indulged in rivalries, making it difficult for them to live in those areas. I received many such messages, and yes, they can connect to the story.”
He continued, “A few friends were upset as well, wondering why Pathans are shown in such a light. The thing is that we did not specifically say they are Pathan. It’s just the tone of speaking. Nowhere is anyone saying that they’re Pathan.”

“Wajahat already told us that we’re creating our world, and it’s a fictional story. Enjoy it,” he remarked.
Khaie drama serial features Faysal Qureshi and Durefishan Saleem in lead roles. The supporting cast also features Mahenur Haider as well. The drama series follows the story of revenge and hate. The show is currently trending these days and has gained immense viewership.
The actor’s recognition of the messages from viewers who found resonance with the storyline suggests that, for many, the drama effectively portrays the historical and societal obstacles encountered by specific groups. Nonetheless, it’s underscored by both Quraishi and the director that maintaining a clear distinction between fiction and reality is essential for grasping the show’s objectives with subtlety and depth, as stated by the team.
