Yunhi Ek Mulaqat With Maya Ali & Bilal Ashraf About Yunhi, Future Project(s) & Rumours

[@siniancolors]

What a ridiculous thing to say that only those who have made a drama can critique it. Agree with Hassan 100%. Most of us haven't built a car but we still have opinions on what we like. We won't go and buy just any car in the market. I'm sure everyone works hard on a movie/tv set especially those behind the camera. Lots of respect for what they do. But I'm sorry, if they deliver crap content, they will get criticism.

[@sarat8577]

So going by her twisted logic, Next time mayas cook burns the food or darzi ruins a jora, she has NO right to complain because only they can critique their own work. Okay good. I hope they saw this video and will play it to her when she yells at them

[@shahneelmehmood951]

I think Maya Bilal took so hard on hasan and hasan managed it well... But I think they were wrong. If you stretch a drama so much than reviewers to criticize kry gy hi. It's job of critic. We love u hasan and amna. Release the whole drama together if u want them to review it after watching as a whole. And hasan amna barely criticize actors, they criticize production director writer mostly...

[@aramgill603]

I find both Maya and Bilal to be rude to come to Hassan's show and putting him at unease. They come across as insecure. Reviews and critiques are part of the job. I feel Hassan and Aamna are really good at what they are doing on Something Haute. I find them to be brutally honest and refreshing.

[@AF-ho6nh]

What’s up with Maya? She even started the interview on a very passive aggressive note towards Hasan. She came across quite unlikeable in this. She needs to realise how you portray yourself on shows like this carries on in the audience’s mind when they watch dramas.

[@kay_127]

Now I understand why Aamna was so justified in saying that she won’t be running after people to give interview. Some so called famous actors/celebs simply doesn’t deserve respect or attention. After watching this interview I not only find Maya very immature but also Bilal’s attitude is so disrespectful and toxic. How could you give a excuse first make a drama than criticize… Gosh! Good lord, help us.

[@sadiakhan413]

Same thoughts

[@kisazabbas]

Maya's comments were quite condescending. No profession is easy, and actors are rewarded HANDSOMELY for their work. There are billions of shows available to watch. If a show is not gripping from the start why should people waste their time on it.

I had the impression that Bilal was a modest man, but after viewing the interview today, I am disappointed in him. Anyhow, Maya is a sobbing queen. Even throughout today's interview, she cried about why anyone would offer constructive criticism when all she wanted was some kind words of appreciation for her crying and cringe-inducing antics lol 😅. Sorry, but not sorry. Hassan, you did a fantastic interview; and, I believe you deliberately didn't respond to Maya. Between the lines, we interpret. Keep going. We are happy with you. ❤ much love @Hassan&Amna and the whole @SomethingHaute Team. ❤️

[@MAbd-pt8dv]

MA spoke rather harshly about critics and their reviews. I disagree with what she said. You can't just expect reviewers and viewers to appreciate any crappy manjan that you are trying to sell us. Now it will be interesting to see how SH will review the drama if it is subpar. Hopefully, they will not shy away from providing their honest and constructive feedback.

[@mahinidi_official]

Exactly a viewer spends 50h of him to watch a drama!!

[@lavendrmoon]

it seems unprofessional to call a channel for an interview and then spend half of it passive aggressively talking about that very channel. this is the first time I've wanted to not watch a project after hearing the actors talk about it, even when they moved on from the attack on reviews the rest of their conversation just made me feel bitter. why come talk to the audience that watches the very reviews you hate so much lol. i think something haute (and even other channels though I've rarely seen much) has been mostly respectful to the actors even if they have reservations with the characters or story. if maya thinks words matter, maybe she should have thought about the words she was using.

[@wardahnaseer1437]

Why do actors shy away from critics and reviews? No job can be done without hard work. No one demeans the actors. The review is about story, direction, production and acting. Normally the criticism is on the story, on issues and some debatable scenes. The actors generally are praised for their performance. Hassan should have told Maya to watch her drama Jo Bichar Gaye reviews.

[@DeepikaAgarwall]

I agree. Probably she's sensitive to reviews.

[@sanaliza]

Very well said 👏 👍 👌

[@nittikasharmanarang9493]

To be honest, both of their attitude is not right. They are in the profession by choice so you need to take the criticism and feedback whether they like it or not . They are pretending as if they are doing EHSAAN on audience. Also Bilal doesnt look to be interview celebrity.

They have been sooper professional , easy and nyc to all of them .

The only problem with Maya is she always has less knowledge abt a certain thing but she would talk sarcastically , today from the beginning of the interview her body language was so arrogant and negative, Love her as an Actor and JBG is all time fav but the way she explained her POV was ridiculous. Bravo Hassan for handling it well ❤

[@mann20]

Why do these celebrities have a meltdown about constructive media criticism of their work? These actors must know that constructive criticism is the only way to grow and improve on one's weaknesses. Instead of complaining about working conditions, It's high time that these actors appreciate the fame, glamour, and money they are enjoying from this profession. Everyone works hard for their respective jobs. But, not every hard-working job means more money. Both of them should be thankful for all the perks they enjoy from being a celebrity.

[@izzakhan5231]

Maya sounds a bit rude. Hasan and amna never denied the fact that actors or even all the team had to face tough days n night but guysss, come on. This is the reason why you're paid so handsome penny maya🙂

[@faizashah7823]

Maya’s comments are not making sense. Reviews are given all over the world. It’s not just in Pakistan. If the actor is performing well, they do appreciate their performance, but if the story is not good thn how can you expect that they appreciate the story.

[@iqra8532]

Why actors are so sensitive towards reviews and opinions of critics?? I think most people resonate with what hassan and amna has to say about dramas , they give words to our thoughts and they reach all the people involved in making of the drama. There are annoying repetitive patterns/ trends in stories, executional faults, intented and unintended, which almost everyone who is consumer of good content from all across the world can see and point out, let alone critics. Instead of being defensive and saying why someone is reviewing and criticising their work, they should be accepting of flaws and focus on improvements that they can bring because all of us want to see our drama industry prosper. Criticism is not to bring it down but to make it better. Also, actors/actresses are hardly criticised, most of them are doing their job finely. Once in a blue moon when they are criticised, they become all defensive except few of them ofcourse. P.S. Most actors don't even watch what they make. They want to consume netflix's content and then create such crappy dramas and don't even want to listen anything bad about them. Bhae hmein b moqa dein acha content dekhne ka jo hmare mulk ka ho jise dekh k fakhar ho Na k sharmindagi!

[@aziza000]

Exactly. Even Fahad gets defensive on the dramas he produces and in same interview stated he does not watch his own dramas but watches Netflix and foreign content because indirectly he admits it’s superior and better.

[@elenam4846]

There are few actors who can take constructive criticism in their stride. Most of them go on defensive and it's not pleasant to watch. Maya was basically belittling critics sounded more like a rant.

[@ayeshatariq64]

I guess this is the first interview/post of SH that i have stopped in between and won’t be watching.. It was so uncomfortable to see the way how reviewers were criticized for doing their own job…calling them out for sitting in AC room and comparing the work tenure…that is so so so weird This is the reality, this is their job and you have your own job but it was delivered in very bad taste #onthespot Aamna you said in last haute bites that you wont run behind celebs for interviews and i sooooo respect that!

[@shaheerahashmi8065]

Maya sounds like a typical Pakistani elite who think only their job is tough, and should never be critiqued. As a doctor, if this is how things work, my patients should never be allowed to tell me if the medication worked for them? Or they couldn't tell a surgeon something went wrong, only because he operated in the theater despite minimal resources in Pakistan for 12 hours? I'd tell them to come scrub in for 12 hours then complain if there's pain? Lol absurd. Hasan, bro you have nerves of steel. I wouldn't have been able to take such blunt statements from anyone. Esp Maya Ali who has had been given so many useless praises and biased opinions on her acting skills. Dimagh out houjata mera itnay continuous passive aggressive attitude pay woh bhi betuki baat pay. Alfaz ka chunao acha hai magar tone itni kharab, tou theek hai? Uncomfortable to watch honestly.

[@rl12186]

- As an artist, one must seek and acknowledge constructive feedback instead of throwing shades that critics are offering feedback sitting an A/C room. Both are performing their respective roles. As a person living abroad, I appreciate honest reviews as I want to keep in touch with my culture with meaningful/good content. - Sensitivity does not belong to the realm of artists, it transcends gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic positions. [This isn't the first time Maya has mentioned this and it is getting a bit tiring to hear it again and again]. To say that one must walk in someone's shoes before expressing an opinion is premature. Do we all walk in the shoes of personnel from finance, medicine, politics etc. It would behoove the artists to not lament how hard an actor's life is as there are hosts of other professions that work in equally constraining environments.

[@nasihanadeem6894]

That ‘youre working from 2018, im working from 2012’ was completely unnecessary tbh. Even if one gives her the benefit of doubt on the review rant (which was also beyond ridiculous), that comment didnt make sense. Also I dont want to take it from her but since im not a pakistani, at first we only knew of those actors who had a crazy following or whose drama had reached organically to us. Maya Ali may have great work but I tbh got to know about her from SH. And not only her many other actors as well. Because we dont have these channels, we tune into our choice of platforms ( in my case SH) and then while knowing about our favourite actor or the drama im watching we get to know about more dramas and more actors from Hassan and Amna only. And global recognition is always a plus. So these stars should actually be thankful to some critics who increase their exposure to audience. But lol look at her. So full of it. Hassan im so proud of how you handled it because you didnt deserve this.

[@elenam4846]

Why is Maya getting so triggered and sound so bitter? So as per her all forms of critique is unjustified? Only an actor who is insecure about her craft will say something like that. It's funny how she said one should choose words wisely when it's her who was belittling all critics. The way she painted all critics with the same brush and disparage them was so uncalled for. Her reasoning was so absurd and even Bilal for that matter could not come up with a logical explanation. Actors garmi sardi men kaam kerte hain tu bes seb kuch unko maaf. What?? Hassan and Aamna have years of journalism experience under their belt and they are the finest critics in the country. If she only wants folks from the same field to critique then I suggest she watches the reviews by veteran actors who are equally unhappy with what is going on in the dramas these days. Learn to take constructive criticism in your stride and your audience will appreciate and respect you more.

[@AthenaRamz]

@MayaAli @Bilalashraf come on guys! Reviews are a part of healthy feedback. Why the public should be fed on the crap whatever has been made up.

[@moeedsaqib2050]

Every profession requires hard work . Infact acting is one of the highest paying professions as compared to others ( no offense its a fact , and there's no harm in it , everyone has his own destiny ) A labourer works in even more extreme conditions . He has no option of throwing tantrums like you , he doesn't get to choose which project he should take on and which one he should turn down . So please just disband this unnecessary halo surrounding acting . Do good work , choose quality scripts , we'll appreciate you and vice versa. its as simple as that . From a high school student to a housewife , everyone is doing hard work . Its Hassan's job to criticize you guys , just like food critic critiques even though he's not a chef himself . So stop this blame game and work on yourself . And in my opinion Hassan and Aamna both are way too generous while appreciating you guys . They even acknowledge your efforts in below average projects . Like Maya it was not at all easy to tolerate Rakhshi but they did na . #onthespot Aamna you were so right when you decided not to ask celebrities for interviews . And please don't interview celebs who disrespect (may be not the right word) your work .

Now I really doubt if they are really a real couple or not. Ajeeb hawa main thye donon and their take on critics and reviewers is absurd. If you are making dramas for "ghar bethi khawateen" then they have the right to give their feedback too. I just hope she wasnt shading on Amma when she said keh "unko review ka R bhi nahi aata" Really a snob attitude which I really didnt expect from Maya. Extremely disappointing. And what does she mean keh "artist sensitive hotye hain" ... Hadh hai yaar, tu na karo kaam phir. Jo bhi insaan ho, jis marzi field ka ho, they work hard and they face feedback and criticism.

TBH - MA fell in my eyes by using "Stand in the sun for 90 days then review". This makes NO SENSE. Everyone has a job doesn't mean they need to do another person's job to do THEIR job. She sounded vain with that statement. Please MA I hope you read these comments from "aam awaam" like us to learn we do want these reviews. I personally CANNOT stand to watch most of the dramas but yet I will give SH HOURS of my time every week because I respect their thoughts and opinions on dramas. Clearly the drama makers themselves haven't gained this trust that I give them 30 hours of my time and THEN review the content.Ain't nobody got time so I personally USE SH to decide what dramas deserve my valuable time. If drama makers can't produce healthy content/make an impression in 2-3 initial episodes, they do not deserve our time for 25/30/40/50 more episodes. Everyone needs an "elevator pitch". In my professional career, I am interviewing currently for an open position on my team and in a 30 min interview I can usually tell in the first 5-10 mins if they are someone that can work on my team. The first two to three episodes are the "elevator pitch" in dramas. If you can't convince us in the first two - three episodes, you lost us. That is the reality. You can't ask the audience, reviewers like SH to give you all our very expensive time to watch the whole series. That is not fair to us.

I love Something Haute and deeply respect Hassan and Amna. Their reviews on Dramas are very logical .

Whatever they appreciate or criticize that’s about acting, characters and main story. But the way Maya Ali said about reviews was rude.

[@zaraawan5320]

Hassan - Next time please don't criticize Maya's plays content but criticize her acting too because she is a very average actress. I just don't get why she gets big projects. Her voice tone is same no matter whatever the project is and what her role is. You guys are working in Urdu Dramas and don't know how to read urdu. Seriously? It is not something to be proud of. When reviewers give comments on dramas, they separate out acting and content. I have seen you guys (you and Aaminah) mentioning thousand times that actors did well but drama has nothing new to offer. I don't know what has triggered her. And actors too show some responsibility like Usman Mukhtar had to slap Mahira in HKKST but he denied that and replaced it by hitting on wall. Maya should learn from Mahira how to take criticism. That poor woman is always criticized sometimes for the content and sometimes for the acting. But she is never rude to the interviewers at least. Hassan - One tip for you, even if Maya was criticizing some other youtuber please defend that too because nobody grows individually, it's always about the industry you are part of :)

The AC room comment was totally uncalled for. Every profession has its pro and cons and when we decide to take up a certain profession, we have accept good AND bad aspects of the job.

[@ravenporcelaindoll]

Kudos to Hassan for taking in Maya's comments against the critics so graciously without getting defensive. What she said made no sense at all. You do not have to be a master at something in order to review it, that is not how the critics work be it for food industry, writing, acting or something else. Also the way she said it was off putting too - no work is small or lesser irrespective of the work environment, experience or payscale. I get that she is sensitive to the reviews but that is not the right attitude to have.

[@tahirahaider8806]

Imagine the interviewer asking, ‘AC walay kamrey mein beth ker script parhtay hain ap log, kuch dhang ka sign ker lia kerein ta ke hum puray shows dhekha kerein’. Its unreasonable for Maya to expect that people should sit through the whole drama to form an opinion. No one got that kind of time these days. We all work hard and get reviewed for our work. Actors are no different too. She should be aware of this since she is working since 2012. To Maya & Bilal, please try to humble yourself a bit before coming for interviews. Your vibe and tone was very unprofessional and disrespectful. Hasan, you should be really proud of the way you handled this. Something Haute should never change the way they review the shows.

[@kkkool116]

Where in the world do critics have to do the activity they are critiquing To qualify as critics ,the fact they promote good content with accurately chosen words thats why ppl follow them one episode is 45 mins long do ppl realise maybe thats all someone has in a day to watch. What they said is utterly unprofessional especially when you are on the show. When something is good it speaks for itself ppl dnt want them to criticise movies in first week now they dnt want them to criticise by first episode I fail to understand why should creators decide when their content should be criticised.

@@aziza000 That's what makes her a star. Her calibre and grace is unmatched. It's really sad how she gets so much hate for everything. I am sure its gets to her but she never lets anyone see it or gets bitter.

[@aziza000]

@@elenam4846 I saw an interview of hers at a university in Dubai. She says she even gets criticised to the face and the way she handles it is by being silent and she knows ‘this too shall pass’. She goes her silence has helped her a lot. It’s the way she deals with things. She was massively trolled by her appearance in maula jatt and an interview that was misinterpreted by the public. But she just deactivated and went off social media to not see it, rather than argue or answer back.

[@elenam4846]

@@aziza000 I watched that interview and it was a very good interview. You summed it up well her strength lies in maintaining a dignified silence. She never behaves in an impulsive manner even with the recent actresses controversy. I remember in one of her old interviews on SH when Aamna asked her how does she handles the negativity coming from within the industry and from public. She said, mujhe Allah ne position hi woh de hai k I have to be the bigger person. You know I really think while she gets the most hate but there is also noone as well-loved like her...goodness, self-control and patience does pay off!

They both are unaware of some well known actors reviewing dramas these days. They should tell those actors how unprofessionally and strictly they are pointing out mistakes right from the first episode😀.

Completely disagree with what Maya said. We don’t act because we know we are not good at it. If u go to a restaurant and the food is not good, imagine the chef saying: “if u can do it better, do it yourself”. Also actors don’t act for free, it’s their job they get paid for it. If you are getting paid, you should do the job well. And the harsh conditions are not an excuse as the pay compensates the harsh conditions.

#OnTheSpot - First and foremost We See dramas on the basis of genuine critics by Aamna Ji and Hassan Ji. Requesting both of you to stick on your bold and strict reviews. And one thing you people NEVER assume the whole drama in a harsh manner by watching the first episode only.... So Ms Maya Ali , I am requesting You to watch every review from this channel before accusing them out of nowhere. And be ready for your upcoming drama darling , aisa na ho ke YUNHI aap roast ho jaye ... DID YOU EVER THINK ke Film industry kahan se kahan chale gaye ?! And you are talking about hot weather , 12 hour work schedule ! Moreover Actors take so much money for their acting so hot weather, irregular timings banta hai yaar...Otherwise why do most people want to join the drama/film industry ? For the money and fame , right ? So tell them to give their best to get a good review afterall. Maya Ali targetted straight away to this chanel because she knows that NOT A SINGLE CHANNEL GIVE A BEST REVIEWS AS YOU DO . For us #SomethingHaute IS THE BEST FOR ANY DRAMA AND FILM REVIEWS ... Dher sa love from India. Keep it up !!

Just like the actors accept the praise they have to graciously deal with the criticism.the aurience have a right to judge ur work & give an opinion,just like they devote their time to support your work.maya is smart & very talkative but she was continuously cutting bilal everytime he spoke.somethingh.& other critics that review dramas are commenting in. A professional sense & just like she desires respect she should respect them 4 the dedication they show to their work.she was very rude.

[@sunflowerandsunset]

Maya Ali and Bilal Asraf shouldn't be coming to such platforms if they are too weak to handle criticism. Everything uttered by them makes no sense. SH is a reputed and accredited platform. The "AC wala room" comment is offensive. Dear Maya, these people in AC room sit and watch god awful dramas (through sickness and other life troubles) in the hopes of finding something good and bring a positive change in the industry. They are one of the reasons dramas like Parizaad, Pinjra and DNUTN have gain a little more exposure. They have rightfully praised and criticized dramas. Many of us agree with their review some of us dont. They amplify our voices. If you don't wish to be called out on your awful dramas then do better! Also, YOU chose to be an actor! you earn money through your craft! WE pay to watch you. You are arent doing a free service to us or the reviewers.

[@positivelyhappymom3238]

Why should the audience or critiques make dramas ? If someone is involved in drama/movie production than it’s their job not ours. Maya Ali when you go to a doctor don’t you judge how capable/ skilled he is ? Can the doctor turn around and ask you to study medicine if you criticize him for not doing a great job?

[@fayzahabeeb4093]

I would rate Sajal, Iqra and Yumna as definitely better actors than Maya but Haniya and Maya are probably on the same level both good but Ushna is very mediocre. She is pretty to look in real life but has this pained expression on screen and is just an average actor.

Hassan you handled this interview like a pro, diplomatically , politely and respectfully and these two tried to come upar se with regards to the critique but Aamna and Hassan , the Haute squad has your back .. demeaning someone else’s job does not shine the light on yours .

Sorry but Maya was behaving rudely.

[@aziza000]

Actors are all okay. It’s the direction, writing and production value which is usually criticised and rightly so. I’m sorry but our dramas are getting worse day by day. I call our dramas ‘kitchen dramas’. There is NO creativity or innovative ideas in them, but our people loooove the average and mediocre projects and hype them up way more than they actually deserve. I’m glad our dramas are being reviewed now because these people got away with creating so much awful stuff. I think critics will push for better quality in all aspects & it’s only healthy competition & good for the industry overall. Also these celebs don’t even watch their own dramas, always praising and mentioning how they watch Netflix, prime, Disney type content. So if they don’t even find their own content stomachable for themselves, how do they expect some of the audiences to like it?! Sane, sensible audience with a bit of intelligence are being dumbed down by our content.

[@ahmadrehan5059]

I'm sorry but constructive feedback is given to series and movies which are good enough! Dramas nowadays, with stupid plotlines, silly mistakes, and dramatic scenes shows how people work from their in a project. Compare Jo Bichar Gaye and PSM, both will be judged differently. PSM was purely pathetic! If you're making a 90 day serial, we are also waiting a 40 weeks serial

Seems like Maya came on the show to complain! I have never seen 1 Something Haute episode where actors are criticized over anything other than their performances. "Characters" are criticized which is nothing against the actor but reflects on writing.

[@amirakhan898]

Maya, with all due respect - critics all over the world are not filmmakers and not directors but actors power through critique as actor know they are doing their job (you do remember you are being paid for the thund and garmi mein kaam) and critics are doing theirs. Also when you say that the critics nowdays don’t know their work - well the thing is your product is meant for the public and social media like KZbin and instagram have given a voice to that very public. Don’t undermine them plz. The public and critics have given you your success and popularity as well.

[@atiyafatima8201]

Also i would like to add that there are so many dramas I started watching after watching SH reviews on them. For example I was least interested in kaisi Teri khudgarzi but Hassan and amna's review on it was so hilarious that i started catching up on that drama just to understand and enjoy their review lol. Maya you must have been working in the industry since 2012 but unfortunately you lack that professionalism if you cannot handle criticism. No matter how difficult the circumstances you guys work, at the end of the day all that's being judged is the content presented on screen.

This is such a ridiculous stance that first you should make or work in a drama, and then you've got the right to criticize any actor's work. Why show it to viewers then? Show it to your own actors' fraternity and keep praising each other's hard work. Also, hard work isn't everything. Where you're putting that hard work and what's the outcome of your hard work also matter.
