Karachi: Senior actress Rubina Ashraf has spoken out in defense of the controversial web series Barzakh.
In an interview on a private channel, senior actress Rubina Ashraf said that the web series Barzakh has highlighted the problems in the society. Homosexuality and infanticide are happening in Pakistan. Even before Barzakh, bold and dangerous stories have been presented through plays. Dramas like Adari and Mai Re had a bolder story than Barzakh.
Rubina Ashraf further said that what is happening in the society is shown in the plays. Dramas do not encourage any action or vice but create awareness and point out the evil that exists in the society so that it can be rectified.
The senior actress said that Barzakh is showing what is happening. Homosexuality already exists in the society. He also claimed that when truck drivers spend the night somewhere across the country, they ask for a hotel room and bed along with a child.
Pakistani director Asim Abbasi and a Pakistani cast web series Barzakh featuring two gay male characters has drawn outrage from Pakistani fans. The web series is produced for Indian streaming website Zee Five and is also being released on Zee Zindagi’s YouTube channel. So far five episodes of the series have been aired.
