Atiqa Odho Critiques ‘Aik Aur Pakeezah’ Storytelling Style
Recently, veteran Pakistani actress Atiqa Odho shared her candid thoughts on Kya Drama Hai as a co-panelist. She discussed Kashif Nisar and Kashf Foundation’s drama series Aik Aur Pakeezah, offering a critique that got fans talking.
Storytelling Felt Repetitive
Atiqa Odho, celebrated for her acting and timeless presence, expressed that Aik Aur Pakeezah lacked a certain “wow factor.” She pointed out that viewers have seen similar storylines from Kashif Nisar before. The frequent back-and-forth between past and present, filled with flashbacks, made the series challenging to follow. Atiqa even humorously admitted to getting headaches from the continuous timeline switching, making the viewing experience less enjoyable.
Expectations for Future Projects
The actress also noted that her expectations from Kashif Nisar have dipped. She is now waiting for a truly “wow” project, one that could captivate audiences and feel completely fresh. Atiqa highlighted that with the growing availability of international series, like the Australian hit The Newsreader, local productions need to elevate their storytelling to match global standards.

Her comments underline the need for local dramas to innovate and stay relevant in a competitive global market.
