Fawad Khan starrer ‘Barzakh’ under fire for featuring pro LGBTQ content

This element has sparked controversy, with some viewers arguing against the portrayal of homosexuality, claiming it is merely a ploy to attract a global audience.

The series ‘Barzakh,’ starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, is making waves and garnering high praise from Indian fans. Its compelling plot and stunning cinematography have captivated viewers. Directed by Asim Abbasi and produced by Waqas Hassan and Shailja Kejriwal, ‘Barzakh’ masterfully combines mystery, drama, and fantasy. The performances of Salman Shahid, Sanam Saeed, and Fawad Khan have also been widely acclaimed.

However, the inclusion of a homosexual character in the latest episode has drawn criticism. The depiction of Aaqa’s older son experiencing same-sex fantasies, without explicit sexual content, has upset many viewers due to cultural and religious reasons.
