Teen Bata Teen was aired in 1995 on PTV Home and it starred Adeel Hashmi, Faisal Qureshi, Ali Tahir, Mira Hashmi, Wajiha Tahir and Fatima. The sitcom became very popular and was also named as the first television sitcom aired in Pakistan.
Featuring a trio of roommates — played by Faisal Qureshi, Adeel Hashmi and Ali Tahir as Shafoo — certainly got lots of laughs, as the background score of ‘Can Can’ was the perfect complement to their attempts to make money or get the girl. Salman Shahid as the ‘kharoos buddha’ trying to woo an older woman and getting chased by an invisible dog became the highlight of almost every episode. This kind of light comedy is perhaps what all of us need as an escape from the the seriousness of real life.
