The Pakistani show Barzakh, starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, has sparked significant controversy over a scene that showcased gay kiss. The drama has faced backlash following a scene featuring Fawad M Khan’s character, Saifullah, and Lorenzo, played by Franco Giusti, where they nearly share a kiss. This led to a call for a boycott and a decline in viewership. In response to the public outcry, the show’s producers have decided to remove Asim Abbasi’s LGBTQ-themed show from YouTube Pakistan, effective August 9, 2024. The makers issued a statement expressing their gratitude to the global audience. The statement read, “In light of the current public sentiment in Pakistan, we have made the decision to voluntarily withdraw Barzakh from YouTube Pakistan, effective August 9, 2024. This decision underscores our dedication to honouring our audiences without causing alienation.” ‘Barzakh’ Review: Critics Laud Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed’s ‘Visually Rich’ Series Depicting Love and Loss.
