Fawad Khan’s latest series, ‘Barzakh’, is stirring up quite the conversation in Pakistan and beyond. Set in a fantastical world where the living and the dead coexist, the show has captivated many with its unique storyline. However, it has also sparked significant controversy due to a particular scene in the third episode.
The scene in question features a kiss between two male characters, which has provoked strong reactions from the Pakistani audience. Many viewers argue that such content clashes with the country’s social and Islamic values. Social media has been buzzing with criticism, with some calling the scene “disgusting” and accusing the creators of promoting homosexuality in a country where it remains a deeply sensitive topic.
Despite the backlash, there are also voices defending the series, praising its bold approach and the importance of representation in media. As debates continue, ‘Barzakh’ remains a hot topic, reflecting the ongoing cultural tensions within the country.
