Turkey has become the new destination hot spot. Not surprisingly, the Pakistani media industry has been seen flocking there in multitudes, but the question is why?
Stars like Anoushey Ashraf, Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Nouman Ejaz, Sanam Saeed, Fahad Qureshi, Mohib Mirza, Amna Ilyas, among other Pakistani celebs, are having a blast in Istanbul. They have been actively tweeting and posting pictures religiously on Instagram.
Apparently all these celebrities are in Turkey to shoot Sunrise from Istanbul, a morning show hosted by Maria Wasti in which she will take her audience on a journey to Istanbul. The show is a joint venture between Pakistan and Turkey.
According to a local magazine, a new channel will soon launch in Turkey working on the format of Indian channel Zindagi. It will be solely dedicated to airing Pakistani shows.
Here are the tweets of the celebrities who were Istanbul for the recording of the show:

Always making fun of Paki's and their English? A Turkish saleswoman told me "it never is now existing anymore" when i asked her for shoes!

Seems like Anoushey is enjoying her shopping and Turkish linguistic abilities in English.
