Hasb-e-Haal (Urdu: حسبِ حال‎) is a political comedy show that airs on Dunya TV at 11:05 pm from Thursday to Sunday. It stars Sohail Ahmed, Junaid Saleem and Najia Baig.
Sohail Ahmed was awarded the Presidential Pride of Performance award by Asif Zardari on 23 March 2011 for his performance on the show
Concept
Having the honour of being the most watched program in Pakistan,[citation needed] Hasb-e-Haal is a political and social satire. Sohail Ahmed appears on the show as Azizi, while Junaid Saleem and Najia play themselves. It is an effort to raise the voice of sanity over the apparent apathy in the society. He mocks the flagrant disregard for law, lack of policy architecture by the government and equally blatant lack of incentive from the civil society to change the existing flawed system. The popularity of the show is understandable in a society which has lost its relevance and looks at reality through half open means of expression.
