Apnay Log was made for PTV's Lahore Centre in 1985 as a long play single, extended drama rather than a serial. Amjad had been a director at PTV from 1975 to 1979, and the script came out of the period in which he produced most of his best-received television work. He later said he would stopped writing for television altogether, putting it down to a drop in screenplay standards once private channels began to multiply. == Reception ==

Profiles and obituaries of Amjad regularly count Apnay Log among his most popular PTV screenplays. == References ==
