Khudsar is a drama that is airing ARY Digital and it has received a lot of love from the viewers. Starring Zubab Rana, Sehar Afzal and Humayun Ashraf, the drama is over 50 episodes in and viewership is still going strong. A recent episode has gotten attention due to a legal reason as it ended up using a visual without consent of the concerned person.
In a scene, Zubab Rana’s mothers shows her a picture which is a prospective match for her from Australia. She says he is very handsome and gets excited to see the picture. Things went wrong as the makers of Khudsar used a picture of this man without proper consent.
Umair Ali, hailing from Islamabad is in real-estate business and he took to Tiktok and announced that his picture was used in episode 54 while no consent was sorted from him.
This was the clip:
