Nighat Dad, took to social media to claim Baaghi had cashed Qandeel's plight and forgone her parents
Baaghi, the top trending drama on Urdu 1, that took the television industry by a storm, aired its last episode tonight. The Saba Qamar starrer drama focused on the life story of the late social media sensation Qandeel Baloch, and brought to the forefront a new side of Qandeel, the world didn't know about. The drama began amidst a number of controversies ranging from death threats to a number of issues that befell the cast even before they could begin shooting.
But still, Baaghi managed to win hearts of the audience and trended on top positions on YouTube. The much loved drama aired its last episode tonight but before it could say goodbye, it fell into another controversy. Social activist and lawyer, Nighat Dad, took to her social media to claim, Baaghi had cashed over Qandeel's plight, forgoing her parents who were still struggling to make ends meet and penny pinching to fight their daughter's case.
Dad further added to her claims by stating, "Before you watch #Baaghi's last episode please know that drama that made its massive profit out of Qandeel's plight, did only bother to send few men who told poor parents that we are going to write a book on her and only gave 50k to them as a support a year ago and btw they are legally covered under disclaimer.
In Review: Only Saba Qamar continues to be the highlight of Baaghi!
However, Nina Kashif, Head of Programming and General Manager at Urdu 1, also took to her social media, to settle the claims therein. Making an official statement, Nina shunned all claims made by Nighat Dad, by claiming Baaghi followed legal procedure, obtaining creative rights from Qandeel's parents before the drama aired.
Baaghi has created history with its epic run over the weeks. The drama sought to bring about the side of Qandeel Baloch not known to and with Saba Qamar playing a the lead, it has certainly reached what it set out to achieve.
