Specifically mentioning Danish Taimoor and Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi from Dur-e-Fishan, actress Nadia Afgan expressed her disgust over the current trend of misogynistic dramas airing on TV.
Nadia Afgan emphasized the romanticization of domestic abuse and stalking shown in the popular drama serial in which she expressed her disapproval of toxic storytelling.
Nadia was questioned by Ayesha Jahanzeb for A Plus Entertainment’s Chocolate Times about the drama that she would outlaw if she had the power. The seasoned actress was initially hesitant because she valued creative freedom. She made it clear, though, that she would outlaw all “misogynistic shows.”
@galaxylollywood During an interview, Nadia Afgan talked about the excessive number of toxic narratives being shown in our dramas, including but not limited to romanticising domestic abuse and stalking, most recently done in Danish Taimoor’s “Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi”.

Nadia elaborated on the specific kinds of dramas she thinks should be banned and discussed her concerns about the prevalence of misogynistic narratives in the industry. The Suno Chanda actor used Danish Taimoor’s popular show to illustrate her point and said,
“I hate these misogynistic types of dramas. There was a Danish Taimoor one [Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi], a very Kabir Singh type of drama. The ones in which they show male figures beating people up and that kind of love. This type of love is bakwas!”
Nadia Afgan raised concerns about the potential reinforcement of negative behaviors and beliefs by such narratives, focusing on the effect on viewers, particularly young audiences.
She emphasized the requirement to stop making dramas that promote violence and unwholesome marital patterns.
“They’re instilling in people — or kids — the idea that you should run after someone or show up armed. Any drama like that should be banned, she continued.
