LAHORE – Veteran Pakistani actors Noman Ijaz and Saba Qamar pic are circulating on social media platforms. These big names from the entertainment industry have made a huge impact there.
However, they have recently faced social media backlash over bold scenes in a web series.
Saba Qamar has wowed fans with strong performances in popular shows like Fraud, Sar-e-Rah, Serial Killer, and Pagal Khana. Similarly, Noman Ijaz has earned praise for his roles in Daniya Pur, Hum Dono, and Bismil.
The versatile pair has shared the screen in several dramas, including Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi, Jo Chalay Toh Jaan Se Guzar Gaye, and Mr. & Mrs. Shamim.
However, a bold scene from Mr. & Mrs. Shamim, where they appear close, has triggered criticism on social media. The Zee5 series tells the story of a couple dealing with AIDS, but this particular scene has led some viewers to criticize Saba Qamar and Noman Ijaz for taking on such roles.
Many users are shocked after watching these bold scenes from Pakistani actors. One social media user commented, “I thought this was a scene from a Netflix series, but sadly, these are Pakistani actors.” Another remarked, “These actors talk about following religious practices yet perform such scenes.”
Saba Qamar pic, in particular, has faced intense criticism for her involvement, with many pointing to her recent work in Sar-e-Rah.
