The deceased Saad Khan was a family friend who practically grew up in my house. He had a great career as a banker, was a gym going, 6 feet 4 inches tall remarkably fit married with 4 children and met me the day before he left for Thailand to participate in this reality. There were no safety precautions taken during this show and now niether the sponsor nor the production team is taking ownership of the incident and merely calling it an 'accident'. Unilever Pakistan is also exercising its clout over TV channels in the country (as it happens to be the biggest advertiser across all networks) to underplay the incident. The fact that the concerned lady Farishte Aslam happens to the wife of Imran Aslam, the President of Pakistan's largest TV network Geo Tv does complicate matters even more. Anyhow, a lot of common friends have started bringing awareness about this incident on the net. The idea is not to extract any free publicity or financial benefit out of this...but there is a man who had a great life ahead of him and he has died because of negligence and someone should take ownership of that.

you thought it wrong! PTV was a craze in whole amritsar, jalandhar and areas close by when india banned pakistan Television net work. The idea was to produce, in next 10 years, competitive TV programs to beat PTV. India couldn't up with better programs so they start copying every USA show. Till today PakistanTv dramas are much better than idiotic sas bahu nonsense of indian Tv.

Yeah Every one in here knows about the quality of Paki films n TV shows.. most of them are cheap copies or spoofs of Indian shows.. the similar daring acts show is done in every regional language channels in here...and pakistani TV better compete with Afghan channels
Paki reality show owners must not hv taken full precautions, thats why the innocent man died. Pakis should know these type of reality shows are beyond their means. Any ways its sad that a person died in a reality show.
This is strange that his co-contestants and the crew of the programme tried to save him. What about safety measures like floater and why not expert life savers were around?
