Up-and-coming Bollywood actress, Isha Malviya, revealed that she would “love” to work in the illustrious Pakistani television industry if she is presented with the opportunity.
The Bigg Boss 17 famed actress made a guest appearance at a podcast and gave a positive answer in response to working in Pakistan.
Malviya suggested that even tho she “prefers” working and “staying in Bombay,” the idea of starring in a Pakistani drama serial can be considered.
During her interview, the host asked the star, “Given an offer to work in a Pakistani drama and the shooting is in Dubai, and there are handsome Muslims guys in the lead and you’ve been given a role which is good and all the other formalities are sorted, would you take the opportunity?”
“I’d like to work but my first preference would be to work here [India]” the Udaariyaan famed star responded.
“I wouldn’t say no but my first preference would be to stay here in Bombay and work,” she added.
“You’re beautiful and smart,” complimented the host and added that the Pakistani television industry is particularly looking for actresses as such. To this, Malviya expressed gratitude and added that if she is given the chance then she would “love” to work there.

On the professional front, the 20-year-old
Malviya rose to stardom with her appearance in the Bigg Boss 17 show. She also appeared in a number of music videos including Bomb Bomb, Aaja Chhori, Tu Mileye, Town, Ladeya Na Kar, Viah, Junooniyatt, and Kunda.
Her praise for Pakistani dramas, however, isn’t the first instance as previously, Indian actor Sushant Singh also drew comparison between Indian and Pakistani television content. In a video shared by Bollywood Bubble Television, Singh said, “Our neighbouring country that we keep calling our enemy, look at their content. Look at your own content. Why are we like this? Why do we make people who complain the victims? Is this the message that we want to send out? That don’t raise your voice against us, we don’t want to change. It is what it is. Either bear it or leave.”
“If you speak up, you lose work. Is that the message broadcasters and producers want to send to the world? This feudal mindset? This is our question. Do we not want to change? Otherwise, say that you don’t want to change,” Singh added.
