I am still processing this and am in a state of shock. Nothing can and will justify violence against a woman. My heart is with Alizah as well as Sultan, and Fatima.

The Director of the serial Musaddiq Malek asked fans to keep the drama away from controversy and not ruin the hard work of the other 40 people who worked on the project. He said, “The hardest upload of Habs so far. A team of 40 people worked day and night for more than a hundred days to put up a show with blood and sweat. We can’t let some ignorant, self-centered, egoistic man ruin that for all of us.”
