Ainak Wala Jin, the ultimate 90s drama that had every Pakistani child hooked, was all about magic, genies, and wizards—but without the usual spooky vibe. The genie was more fun than frightening, making it a hit among kids who probably thought magic was just another way to skip homework.
Set in a world full of genies, fairies, and wizards from Mount Qaf, the show had a charm that even adults couldn’t resist. The quirky character names—like Bill Butori, Charlie Uncle, Zokota, and Hamoon the Wizard—became legends in their own right. These names were so memorable, they probably helped the show’s popularity as much as the magic itself.
Speaking of Hamoon the Wizard, Haseeb Pasha’s portrayal was unforgettable. And now, Haseeb has dropped a bombshell on a podcast: he revealed that, before Ainak Wala Jin aired, he would go to Bilawal House two days in advance to watch the episode with Bilawal and Bakhtawar. Apparently, this was so they could brag to their classmates about the next episode before it even aired. So, the drama wasn’t just a family affair—it was practically a school gossip fest!
As soon as Haseeb’s podcast clip went viral, social media was flooded with reactions. One user quipped, “This is why the country is in the state it is today.” Ouch. Another person wondered, “If Bilawal still struggles with Urdu now, how did he manage to speak it fluently as a kid?” Good question.
And of course, one cheeky netizen couldn’t resist: “It’s pretty clear now—Bilawal’s party must have grown up watching Ainak Wala Jin… magic and all!”
