Popular Pakistani drama Zabt has landed in controversy after a scene featuring actress Sara Aijaz sparked outrage online. The show has been facing severe backlash after eagle-eyed viewers noticed a controversial detail in a sequence that quickly went viral.
In Episode 20 of Zabt, Sara Ejaz's character is seen expressing her anger by throwing books off a shelf in her room. After the episode aired, viewers noticed that one of the books she threw appeared to be an Islamic Studies book with an image of the Kaaba on its cover.
The controversy deepened when, according to an NDTV report, the book fell to the ground, its pages flipped open, revealing what viewers claimed were Quranic verses and Hadith. The scene triggered widespread criticism, with many accusing the makers of showing disrespect towards religious textsAi
Following the massive backlash on social media, Geo TV took action by removing Episode 20 from its official YouTube channel. While the move helped ease some of the outrage, criticism against the show continues online. Besides this, Sara also uploaded a public apology video on her social media
