Lahore:Â Rambo’s famous Pakistani actor Afzal Khan, complained about not receiving government recognition throughout his thirty-two years in showbiz. He appeared as a guest on one of the morning TV shows together with Sahiba, his wife. There, he talked about his personal life and showbiz career. He discussed how he had made it to the entertainment industry throughout this interview by highlighting the highs and lows he had experienced so far.
The Evolution of Award Shows
Rambo’s was discussing the awards given to Pakistani artists when he stated that there used to be one show in which all actors, films, and dramas would receive awards. This single platform brought together all the industry players and gave each deserving artist a chance for recognition. But now every channel has its award shows, which, according to him, is not good. He feels that breaking these awards into many small pieces, which led to competition between channels, diminished their value.
A Unified Award Show
He also suggested that there should be a single award for Pakistan’s entertainment industry. His idea was to bring movies and serials from all channels under one roof where the best could be awarded in each category. Accordingly, this will restore credibility and foster unity in this sector. In this sense, such a platform would determine whether individuals have been awarded due to who they are affiliated with specific programs or are based on meritocracy.
Lack of Recognition
He recalled that he got some other film prizes like Nigar Award sometime back. However, Rambo disclosed that despite acting in 200 movies during his 32-year career in show business, he never received an honor similar to Pride-of-Performance. It is an important state decoration representing well-established artistic achievements in people’s lives. Rambo finds it regrettable that every remarkable accomplishment has eluded him.
The Value of Merit-Based Awards
Nowadays, Rambo said that many prizes are given based on connections greetings, and. He doesn’t want any awards through recommendations or personal contacts. Rambo insists that only an honor received due to one’s hard work should be regarded as a real source of pride. Conversely, the feeling that such a reward is beneficial will be wrong for him because. It is not like he obtains anything by favor through ism. He stressed that an artist’s hard work and talent, rather than. Who they know or what they can do, bestow awards with meaning.
A Humble Appeal
Rambo appealed to the people who give out awards not to grant him one after this interview, begging with his hands held together. He made it clear that no award should come as a result of these comments from this conversation. He has thus pleaded for equitable treatment whereby genuine artists will be rewarded on merit without prejudice.
The thoughts and suggestions of Rambo provide a mind-boggling view of the current state of the award system in Pakistan showbiz. The call for one awards function and a merit-based recognition process indicates that reforms are needed to restore. The honor of these accolades and ensure that those deserving get them. In his ongoing career, Rambo always reminds the industry about. How essential it is to have principles and fairness when it comes to recognizing a brilliant artist.
