Actress and host Savera Nadeem is known for adding her fine touch to whatever role is offered to her in industry.  She does, however, feel that dearth of new ideas has left vacuum that no one is willing to fill. In conversation with BBC Urdu,  Manto star shared her disappointment over regressive phase Pakistani TV is going through.

She felt that themes and ideas on Pakistani television are not evolving with newer generation and their issues. Nadeem shared that major chunk of Wehem's shooting was taking place in an old house near Guru Mandir. "People would tell us that there's something fishy about this house. No one ever lived on top floor and then there were windows that were shut permanently with nails. Their gates were also hundred years old," she recalled.

"We were shooting in yard one day and all of sudden, lot of water came from above. No one understood where water came from. Everyone became uneasy. We all had our own explanation but deep down we also realised there is something definitely fishy."  "Plays have changed over time, technology has evolved and generations have changed. Each generation comes with new mindset. They have their own expectations regarding entertainment. If we keep on doing what we have been doing then they wouldn't be able to appreciate it because it's not relatable for them," exclaimed Nadeem. –Agencies
