Saba Faisal Highlights Gap Between Senior and Young Actors

Saba Faisal recently shared her perspective on the growing gap between senior and young actors in the Pakistani television industry. Her observations highlight how mentorship, discipline, and experience often clash with the fast-paced modern approach taken by newcomers.

Saba Faisal Reflects on Generational Divide

During her chat on PTV Home’s Star & Style, Saba Faisal recalled the apprenticeship culture that shaped her early career, where learning from senior actors was essential. She noted that while young actors are talented, many lack a full understanding of acting nuances and show less inclination to learn from veteran performers.

Challenges for Young Actors in Modern TV

Young actors face unique pressures, including scrutiny from social media and high audience expectations from day one. Actress Nazish Jahangir explained that while they respect seniors, criticism can sometimes feel harsh or discouraging. This tension underscores the difficulty of balancing guidance with constructive feedback.

Veteran Actors Stress Mentorship and Discipline

Veterans like Nadia Afgan and Syed Mohammad Ahmed have emphasized the importance of punctuality, rehearsal, and professionalism. Rubina Ashraf suggested that seniors focus on mentorship rather than judgment, while noting the absence of formal acting training programs in Pakistan.

Bridging the Gap in Pakistani Acting

Saba Faisal’s remarks call attention to a crucial industry challenge: connecting experienced actors with younger talent. With open dialogue, constructive mentorship, and mutual respect, the generational divide can be narrowed, ensuring the growth of Pakistan’s television industry.
