Paamaal Drama Sparks Controversy Over Bold Scene. The latest episode of Paamaal, starring Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar, has become the talk of social media after a bold scene caught everyone’s attention.
Earlier this year, actress Saba Qamar faces backlash for bold photoshoot.
The drama, written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees, is produced by Tahreem Chaudhry. It tells the story of Malika, a writer who faces emotional struggles before and after marriage. Saba Qamar plays Malika, while Usman Mukhtar plays her husband, Raza.
So far, twelve episodes have aired, but it was the most recent one that caused a stir. In a hospital scene, Malika is shown hugging her husband during an emotional moment. The scene was aired without any cuts, which immediately triggered online criticism.
Many viewers felt the scene was too bold for Pakistani television. Some social media users expressed their disappointment, saying that dramas are becoming difficult to watch with family. One person commented that the director should feel embarrassed for including such a scene, while another sarcastically said they were glad their parents were not watching with them.
Despite the backlash, others defended the drama, saying the scene was emotional and natural rather than inappropriate. Still, the online debate continues, showing how sensitive audiences remain about what is shown on Pakistani TV screens.
