Pakistani director Asim Abbasi’s Indian web series “Barzakh,” starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, is being removed from YouTube in Pakistan due to intense public criticism and backlash.

The series, which premiered on July 19 on India’s streaming platform ZEE5 and YouTube, faced controversy, particularly after the release of its third episode, due to its portrayal of male homosexuality, sparking significant viewer backlash.
