No Pakistani shows on Zindagi, says Subhash Chandra

[Deepu]

General entertainment channel (GEC) Zindagi, which has grown on the back of Pakistani shows, has decided to phase out all Pakistani TV shows in the wake of the Uri attack. “It’s an unfortunate decision we had to take to stop all programming from Pakistan. We at Zee have tried for the past 24 years to bridge the gap. However, the one-way street is not working. We took a decision in our hearts right after the Uri attack. Zindagi has been the reason for the rise of a number of stars from Pakistan but when we requested them to at least condemn the attacks without naming their country, none of them came forward,” said ZEE and Essel Group chairman Subhash Chandra. Chandra also took to Twitter to make the announcement. He tweeted, “Unfortunate stance of Mia Sharif at UN. Zee is considering stopping Zindagi programmes from Pakistan. Artistes from there should leave.”

so the contents would be from Iran and other middle eastern countries?

Yep there is no shortage of content. Avoiding Pakistani shows won't make much difference there are many more markets like Iran, Middle East, South East Asia, etc

Good to ditch such Content and if content is nit available better to close the channel rather than compromising.

They already came up with 3 Indian shows so no problem for them any how they have bored peoples so whether it's Pakistani or Indian who matters.
