Why Pakistani Drama ‘Behkaway’ Sparked Violation
Public outrage is on the rise against Behkaway with a disturbing scene in episode 25. The controversy revolves around a particular sequence with an underage schoolgirl and an adult male character, which many viewers have deemed to be inappropriate and disturbing.
Reason
- Episode 25 Sparks Outrage: The drama features a scene in which the adult male character picks up the younger girl from school, attempts to harass her, and takes her to an ice cream parlor. While he eats the ice cream in a very suggestive way, the girl is quite uncomfortable.
- Social Media Outrage: Viewers went to social media to denounce the show for normalizing predation and bad messaging. Critics called the scene “vulgar”, and “morally irresponsible.”
- Calls for a Ban: Some viewers have gone as far as to petition regulatory authorities to enact the ban, on the grounds that Behkaway violated ethical boundaries. So public disdain is continuing to rise day by day.
- Some Defend the Drama: A few viewers even argued that the drama could ultimately serve to bring some of these uncomfortable societal issues into the public eye.
