The scene in question shows the character Wali performing on stage, with a rainbow heart appearing on a poster behind him. Although the moment was fleeting, many viewers quickly took to social media to express their disapproval, claiming the inclusion was intentional and inappropriate for Pakistani audiences.
Critics argue that the use of LGBTQ+ symbolism contradicts the country’s cultural and religious values. “They are trying to influence the youth,” one commenter wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding, “I was enjoying this show, but this scene changed everything for me.”
The ‘Parwarish’ Pakistani drama, which had gained a loyal following for its family-oriented themes and emotional storytelling, is now under fire from conservative viewers who believe such content has no place on mainstream television.
Producers of the show have yet to issue an official statement addressing the controversy. Meanwhile, the debate continues to grow, with some defending the show’s creative freedom and others calling for stricter content regulation on Pakistani TV.
As discussions around representation and media responsibility continue in the country, ‘Parwarish’ Pakistani drama now finds itself at the center of a larger cultural conversation.
