Renowned actress and TV host Nadia Khan has sharply criticized the director and cameraman of the newly released drama 'Bismal' for their handling of Hareem Farooq’s portrayal.
Nadia Khan’s comments have stirred significant debate and garnered widespread attention on social media.
The eminent actress expressed her dissatisfaction with how Farooq's character was depicted, particularly criticizing the decision to showcase certain scenes deemed inappropriate.
The actress contended that the director and cameraman had deliberately emphasized aspects of Farooq’s appearance in a manner she found unsuitable.
In a viral clip from the program, Khan is seen condemning the visual portrayal of Farooq, questioning the rationale behind focusing on the actress's physique boldly.
"Why did the director and cameraman choose to present Hareem Farooq in such a manner?" Khan asked, pointing out that the focus on Farooq's back was unnecessary and disrespectful. She argued that both the director and cameraman were fully aware of the impact of their choices.
Khan suggested that these scenes could have been rectified during the editing process if the footage had been reviewed critically. However, she noted that such improvements were not made, leading to what she described as an inappropriate portrayal of Farooq.
The criticism has sparked a flurry of reactions from the public. Many viewers have taken to social media to voice their opinions, with some defending the drama's depiction as aligned with contemporary fashion trends, while others support Khan’s stance on maintaining a level of dignity in the portrayal of actresses.
