Pakistani actress Sanam Saeed expressed satisfaction with the feedback received for her web series Barzakh, stating that the response met her expectations despite the recent controversy surrounding the show in Pakistan.
In an interview with Indian media, Saeed described the feedback for Barzakh as "overwhelming," citing elements that attracted viewers to the show.
"There are certain aspects in Barzakh that grabbed people’s attention. Some viewers didn’t understand the show initially, but if they watch it carefully, they'll get it. The audience's reaction was exactly what we anticipated," she said.
Saeed also addressed her Indian fans, describing them as "long-lost siblings" due to their shared cultural heritage.
"We've grown up in different homes but share the same roots. Essentially, we come from the same land but have evolved differently over the years. It's heartwarming to reconnect with long-lost siblings," she remarked.
Directed by Asim Abbasi, known for Churails and Cake, the show has sparked significant debate due to its bold themes and content.
Since its debut two weeks ago, Barzakh has garnered attention for its portrayal of controversial topics, including non-heteronormative storylines.
In response to the backlash, Zindagi announced the removal of Barzakh from YouTube Pakistan, effective August 9.
