    A possible queer character and bold storyline have not sat well with some viewers and artists. 
    Veteran actress Rubina Ashraf has defended the show during an appearance on ‘Subh Saveray Samaa Ke Saath’ hosted by Madeha Naqvi.
    “We have made dramas on many topics that are considered taboos. We made Udaari and Mayi Ri in this country,” the A-lister said.

    “We have even created dramas based on complex relationships. Dramas portray society as it is, not the other way around. Barzakh is a drama that also shows reality, with the characters having liberty to protect themselves from what is happening in this world,” Rubina added.
