With the finale of Doctor Bahu still fresh in the minds of viewers, actor Shuja Asad feels it’s time for him to express his gratitude to fans who tuned in to watch him and his co-stars every week.
In a long, emotional note shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Asad thanked “everyone who watched, supported, debated, agreed, disagreed, and felt something throughout this journey”.
The actor said one of the best things about his line of work was that it can start conversations even after the show has ended and the credits have rolled.
He said that if Doctor Bahu had sparked discussions in viewers’ living rooms about “difficult subjects like grief, control, unhealthy relationships, forgiveness, or accountability,” then he and his team were able to create something truly meaningful.
Talking about his character Salman, Asad said he wasn’t written to be perfect. “He stumbled, made mistakes, carried pain, and at times became someone he never wanted to be.”
