Renowned Pakistani musician Bilal Maqsood has introduced an innovative online puppet show called ‘Pakkay Dost,’ specifically designed for Pakistani children. This show, he emphasises, employs humor as its educational tool to both entertain and enlighten young minds. Idea of creating engaging content for children had been brewing in his mind for some time.

Maqsood shared motivation behind this venture. He explained how absence of Urdu language songs for children bothered him, sentiment that became stronger with birth of his son, Mikail, who is now 26 years old.

Pakkay Dost’ comprises four episodes, each with an average duration of 15 minutes, exploring diverse themes that range from educational content like alphabets and names of days to important life lessons.

‘Pakay Dost,’ first-of-its-kind Urdu edutainment content for children, where they can learn values that define us and shed light on Urdu as language.
