Nabeel Zafar, a remarkably talented and renowned Pakistani actor, achieved immense fame by portraying the role of Dr. Daud in the drama serial ‘Dhuwan.’ Presently, the immensely popular sitcom ‘Bulbulay,’ which has been on air for 14 years, widely recognizes him.

Recently, Nabeel Zafar appeared on a talk show, hosted by Farah Iqrar, where he unveiled unknown details about the long-running hit sitcom Bulbulay.

Talking about Bulbulay, Nabeel said, “I returned from England in 2009 and was looking to do something independently. Previously, I was already working as a co-producer. However, when I was about to start my production, I asked my mother to pray for the success of my projects. She reassured me, saying, ‘Don’t worry; I will request Allah for your production venture.’ After her prayers, I approached my friend Ali Imran for a script for free, and he gave me (an already written) script which was “Bulbulay”. Then, I requested Rana Rizwan to direct it. I also brought Mehmood Aslam on board because he was my friend and was ready to work on a low budget.

While discussing about the female cast, Nabeel said, “All the female actors refused to play Khoobsurat in the sitcom. I approached Maria Wasti for “Khoobsurat,” but she had other engagements. She referred Ayesha Omar to me who agreed to join “Bulbulay.” Later, I signed Hina Dilpazeer for one episode. She sketched her character, and her episode was loved by the fans. Hina expressed her desire to become a permanent part, so we conceived the character as Mehmood Sahab’s wife. In addition to “Bulbulay,” I directed “Ras Gullay,” “Honey Moon,” “Love Kay Liye,” “Dugdugi,” and other dramas, but “Bulbulay” is the longest and most successful venture.
