For Sindhis, paradise is roads, transport and trees like Punjab, says Fahad Mustafa

One bike, one tour, and Fahad Mustafa’s take on Punjab

A clip from ARY Digital’s popular game show Jeeto Pakistan, hosted by Fahad Mustafa, has gone viral for all the right reasons. In the clip, Mustafa shares a sentiment many Pakistanis are familiar with — how far ahead Punjab, especially Lahore, is in terms of basic infrastructure, greenery, and public transport.

This Lahore special edition of Jeeto Pakistan also featured actor and host Aadi Adeel Amjad. Amjad, who had won a bike on the show, took a solo tour of Lahore on it. Reflecting on his experience, he noted the stark contrast with Karachi’s streets, saying:

"I do not think there is a better province in Karachi than Punjab."

He highlighted that the city offers almost everything — proper public transport systems, lush greenery, wide open roads, and overall excellent infrastructure. He concluded his experience with a cheerful, "Punjab zindabad!"

Mustafa, a Karachiite himself, added perspective on the difference in expectations between Sindh and Punjab. He said:

"When we come from Sindh to Punjab, we think of paradise as a place with buses, trains and nice roads, since Punjab already has that, what is 'paradise' for the people of Punjab?"

The clip has resonated with audiences, sparking conversations about infrastructure, urban planning, and the varying experiences of Pakistan’s provinces.
