In this episode of Thought Behind Things, we’re joined by Sikandar Nawaz and Moiz Nawaz - two multi-talented brothers who’ve carved their own creative paths in Pakistan’s evolving entertainment industry.

From Bhatti Gate to the big screen, the Nawaz brothers share an honest, heartfelt conversation about their journey, from madrassah life and acting struggles to music, content creation, and the pressures of public life.

We explore:
Sikandar’s childhood and madrassah experiences
Moiz’s transition from music to television
Why criticism from relatives can either break or build your confidence
The harsh truth about drama industry payments and structures
How they learned acting without formal training and found their breakthrough
Why ego and lack of collaboration hold back Pakistan’s creator economy
Their take on Pakistan in 2050 and what real success looks like

A deep, emotional, and often humorous dive into what it means to stay authentic in the face of fame, expectations, and constant change.
