Indian serials are quite popular in Pakistan, and many television soaps used to get record viewership in the country.
Indian soap opera Yeh Hai Mohabatein from Star Plus is facing ban threat in Pakistan.
The problems started when the episode on June 01, 2016 was aired. The Pakistan Media Authority alleges that the serial had indecent and obscene scenes.
They believe that the love making scene between the lead pair was so intimate in nature, and it violated the Electronic Media Ordinance 2015.
Close sources to PEMRA revealed that the producers were earlier warned for its scenes, as they telecasted similar content on its April 16 episode.
As per credible news, the channel has been issued a legal notice and they have been asked to give their reply on or before June 18.
If they fail to do so, the authorities will be compelled to take down the production.
The portion which irked Pakistani officials were a bold scene between Karan Patel and Divyanka Tripathi.
Hearing the prohibition warning, Divyanka replied that there was no nudity in that scene, as her saree was tied tightly.
The actress also added that this serial has hugely following in Pakistan. She hopes that things will be settled soon.
As per Tripathi, this installment is not that kind of cliched Saas Bahu drama. Instead, this is about a woman who is independent but still has that family values.
This TV show touted to be one of the most popular TV shows in India. The series has record viewership, and it has played a crucial role in enhancing the popularity of Divyanka and Karan among Indian viewers.
The show which was first aired on 2013 is still continuing its dream run. On Star Plus, people will tune to this show; no matter what other programs are running on other channels.
More details regarding this ban threat will be out in the coming days. Even if PEMRA is not satisfied with the contents of the soap, Pakistani families will wish to enjoy this due to its top class creation.
What do you think of the decision?
