Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar encounter criticism due to a provocative sequence in the current episode of ‘Pamaal.’

The most recent episode of the drama series Pamaal has incited widespread outrage on social media following the broadcast of an uncensored daring scene involving Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar.

Viewers criticized both the actors and the network for transgressing cultural boundaries, with numerous individuals deeming the scenario “unnecessary” and “uncomfortable to observe.”

Pamaal narrates the tale of Maleeka, a writer who encounters several adversities both prior to and during her marriage.

Having been raised without a father, Maleeka perceives married life as a fairytale; nevertheless, her aspirations are crushed following her marriage to Raza, who does not fulfill her expectations.

The show depicts Raza as a domineering husband who continually questions and confines his wife.

Bollywood icon Johnny Lever commends Saba Qamar’s performance in ‘Pamaal.’

In the most recent episode, following an intense dispute, Maleeka discovers that Raza is hospitalized.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she hastens to embrace him tightly – a moment that several viewers considered excessively close for prime-time television.

Social media users voiced indignation, with one remarking that “the director ought to feel shame for permitting such intimacy on screen.”

Some individuals remarked that Pakistani plays were “now emulating Indian trends,” while others expressed relief that their parents were not seeing them alongside.

Critics have also challenged the channel’s assertions of generating “family-friendly and unique content,” deeming the scenario “a disheartening deviation from its standards.”
