King of comedy, Moin Akhtar, mimics famous personalities including politicians (both Indian and Pakistani), actors, sportsmen, bureaucrats & more in this classic comedy talk show written and hosted by Anwar Maqsood. Inspired by BBC's Hard Talk, the quality here is reminiscence of their previous works together such as Studio Dhai & Studio Pooney Teen. Moin Akhtar is perhaps Pakistan's best comedian and humorist. He has been called Pakistan's asset. His fans include President Pervez Musharraf who has complimented him on his extremely popular "Loose Talk" which is currently aired weekly from ARY TV. Commenting on his current hit show "Loose Talk", Moin Akhtar said, "Anwar Maqsood, the writer of the show got the idea from Tim Sebastian's Hard Talk on BBC. He said, 'Moin you can be a different guest each week.' We approached ARY but initially they were not interested so we went to PTV and they showed a lot of interest. But we did not want to air it from PTV because that's a government channel and we knew most of the stuff would be censored. We hate censorship because that really kills creativity. But ARY had a change of heart and I'm sure they are not sorry, "Loose Talk" is one of their most popular programs and we are flooded with positive feedback." In "Loose Talk" Moin Akhtar has dressed up and mimicked Saddam Hussein, a Christian nurse, a Sikh man, well-known politicians and scores of others. He has the uncanny ability of not only capturing the mannerism but also the voice, accent and tone of the person he is playing. "My only sorrow is that Pakistan lacks the special makeup facility that is required to give a perfect touch to each character. Right now Mussarat of Depilex has to come down from Lahore each week to do my make up." Moin Akhtar started as a comedian in 1967. "We were not rich and being the eldest in my family I had to work and struggle to support my family. I wanted to become a lawyer, but fate had something else carved out for me."
Fantastic comedian Pakistan has ever produced. Moin Akhter death is a great loss indeed.May Allah Bliss his soul.Ameen!
