We all know that the web series Barzakh has been taken off YouTube after protests against its content were made in Pakistan. That’s not our topic. The topic is one of its principal performers Sanam Saeed’s interview, which she gave to an Indian media outlet. She said in the interview: ‘There are certain aspects in Barzakh that grabbed people’s attention.
Some viewers didn’t understand the show initially, but if they watch it carefully, they’ll get it. The audience’s reaction was exactly what we anticipated.’ We think it’s about time filmmakers and actors stopped condescending to viewers.
