Recently, a bold clip featuring Pakistani famous actors Nauman Ijaz and Saba Qamar Zaman went viral on social media, showing the two in an intimate scene. The clip is from their web series, “Mrs. and Mr. Shamim”, produced by ZEE5, which revolves around the story of a couple dealing with AIDS, aiming to highlight social issues surrounding the disease.
This viral scene has stirred diverse reactions among fans. Many social media users have expressed frustration, saying that actors as talented and experienced as Nauman Ijaz and Saba Qamar do not need to perform such bold scenes to capture viewers’ attention.
According to drama critics, the scene feels out of sync with Pakistani cultural norms, and both actors should avoid roles that require such explicit content.
The backlash on social media has been intense, with some users commenting bluntly. One user wrote,” I thought this was a Netflix series, but it’s really disappointing to see these Pakistani actors in such roles.” Another user remarked , “This is the same person who claims to leave the house in a state of ablution, yet he drama scenes like these.”
