Pakistani dramas are seen all over the world and with the advent of social media, every aspect of a drama is talked about.

The recent sensation was Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi which was trending not only in Pakistan but India as well with episodes crossing 30 million views at times but the storyline sparked a lot of outrage as well.

Dur e Fishan has always talked about being responsible about the scripts she takes on and how she wants to show empowered women on screen and that is what she did in her drama Pardes.
In an interview with Something Haute, Dur e Fishan was asked about why would she sign a script that glorified kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome. Dur e Fishan justified her choice as she said that she does not think a story like Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi should be shown on screen but she takes complete ownership of her project and Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi was a true story and the real guy also died in the end.
