Why don’t you talk about it? You speak up on these issues, for us raising voice against LGBTQ is the priority, it is condemnable it has been smoothly launched in Pakistan. Now, it is being showcases and discussed openly through Barzakh so it is our duty to raise the voice against it, if you love such evils, practice them behind the closed doors. And to the model, who said, ‘why to bring religion into everything?’, Listen! Quran has strong verses against this biggest Fitna (Evil)” Here is the link to the video:

I was already hearing a lot of things like that. I decided to get married. So! my husband Ali was my university fellow, he was a senior faculty member too. I met him in university, although we were not friends. Initially, I only saw him in university, we also used to know each other because my grandfather and Ali’s father were friends and we used to reside in the same area. I met Ali in university for my documentation. He also taught me economics for a few months after which we started meeting each other, our families became good friends. My mothers and sisters used to enjoy his company. After that we got engaged and I joined the industry and then we got married” Here is the link to the video:

Zee5 and Zee Zindagi are platforms that are working with Pakistani content creators and artists and Pakistani projects are streaming on these platforms. The latest controversial series Barzakh is one of the projects that came on Zee Zindagi. We got to watch Abdullahpur Ka Devdas and Mrs & Mr Shamim on Zindagi before this and both the shows received love and applause. The latest Barzakh however, got a lot of backlash for queer themes.
From the last few days, everyone in the country had something to say about Barzakh and mostly the comments were towards the negative side. People thought that normalizing queerness is not something they want to see on the media while many were concerned about children consuming such content.
Due to the backlash Team Zindagi and Team Barzakh have decided to pull Barzakh off from YouTube Pakistan. They expressed gratitude to all the fans who liked the show. Zee announced that they honour their viewers and do not want to cause alienation. The show will be pulled off YouTube from August 9th. Barzakh finale will air today.
This is how the internet is reacting to the development:
Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali are two stars that have gained massive stardom after their drama Tere Bin became a mega hit. Yumna and Wahaj as Meerab and Murtasim are among the most loved on-screen pairings right now and fans are waiting for the duo to appear again together in Tere Bin 2. The lead couple is on a USA tour right now where they are holding meet and greets over different cities and fans were able to meet their favourite stars live.
For a latest outing in Washington, Yumna and Wahaj came in their distinct styles. Wahaj was wearing a suit while Yumna chose a very ethnic saaree and ethnic jewellery paired with old school makeup and hair. Here are some pictures from the event shared by SBG Visionaries on Instagram:
Fans are not happy with Yumna’s fashion choices. They found her look to be giving off an Indian drama bahu vibes and this is what they had to say:
Barzakh is a series starring Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed, M Fawad Khan and Salman Shahid among others. The series is written and directed by Asim Abbasi and it was highly anticipated due to Sanam and Fawad’s comeback on the screens together. Barzakh has been receiving a lot of critcism due to queer themes, misinterpretation of Barzakh and bold scenes. Many people are coming up with their own opinions about the series.
Nadia Khan was among the artists who praised Barzakh. She had given her own explanation of what Barzakh is and why it is a must-watch for the audience. She ended up receiving backlash for supporting Barzakh.
Raja Zia ul Haq had something to say about what Nadia Khan thinks about Barzakh. He made a detailed video and analyzed everything that Nadia said. He shared that the basic concept of Barzakh which Nadia has applauded is shown wrong in the show. We do not believe that people can come back after death or there is a whole new place where they go. This concept is wrong in its entirety.
This is what he said:
He also spoke about Nadia’s stance that the series is made openly as International rules applied on it and not PEMRA’s and this made Barzakh more exciting. He had issues with this statement and here is what he said:
