Pakistani actor Mikaal Zulfiqar, who has become a household name in India with his TV show "Aaina Dulhan Ka', says he prefers to watch reality television over drama.
And in India, TV show "Bigg Boss" is an epitome of reality television, famous for it's acrimonious fights, bickering and controversies. But the actor says it's not his cup of tea.
"I like to watch reality television rather than drama. I was offered 'Bigg Boss' before. But I don't think it's my thing. I think I am too nice for the show," the actor told IANS over phone from Lahore.
"I think they will kick me out in the first episode only as I will not generate any controversy. I think I will be pretty boring," the actor added.
The actor's show, which is aired on Zindagi channel, has been appreciated by Indians. Ask him if he is an avid viewer of Indian serials and the actor admits that he has not followed any Indian serial religiously.
"To be honest I have not followed any Indian serials. They are famous in Pakistan but I only know some name through flickering of channels like 'Kumkum'," Mikaal said.
