Urwa Hocane has praised Pakistan’s television industry, arguing that local dramas can match high production standards without relying on Netflix comparisons. During a recent interview, the actress questioned why Pakistani projects often receive praise only when people compare them with international streaming content. She believes the country’s entertainment industry should recognise its own achievements rather than measure success against foreign platforms.
Urwa criticised the habit of describing a high-quality Pakistani drama as a “Netflix quality” project. She said such comparisons overlook the talent and production standards already present in the local industry. Moreover, she argued that a project does not become superior simply because a streaming platform releases it.

The actress also questioned why Pakistani content creators continue comparing their work with international productions. According to Urwa, local artists already demonstrate strong storytelling abilities and impressive creative talent. She stressed that Pakistani dramas deserve recognition for their own strengths instead of depending on comparisons with global entertainment platforms.
Furthermore, Urwa highlighted the importance of storytelling and genuine emotions in successful projects. She believes strong narratives should remain the foundation of Pakistani entertainment, supported by thoughtful production choices. For her, authentic feelings and meaningful stories matter more than the platform that distributes a drama.
