Karachi: The controversial content of Wahaj Ali and Yamuna Zaidi’s drama ‘Tere Bin’ also forced the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority to take notice.
A promo video of the play went viral on social media, in which the scenes of violence between Wahaj and Yamuna provoked people.
After heavy criticism from users, the audio of the video was slightly modified but the footage remained and now Pemra has issued an official warning to the makers of the drama.
