But Fawad khan character is married in the show. It’s his brother who plays a gay character and his name is also Fawad. I am still on 4th episode. The people who are abusing Fawad, I can bet they have not even watched the show and abusing him based on tik tok videos.
Myself and a majority are NOT condemning Fawad Khan at all...but the narrative, objective, intention and script of the drama, in totality.
First of all Fawad is not playing a gay character,the one who plays his elder brother is the one...
I did watch the first few episodes and even if I ignore the LGBTQ,there were a lot of scenes that was too bold in my opinion even from an Indian Perspective..like a kid watching a man having a bath,kids listening to a couple having sex and one girl saying "meri mummy bhi yahi awaaz nikalti thi"....
And yes I get an average Indian hindu might feel that what is happening in Pak is wrong but u have to agree that it was a stupid decision on their part...the whole country was made on the name of Islam..and suddenly u r showing such a content...
Apart from that I didn't like the show in general...stopped it midway

They must've known the reaction it would cause but why did they still do it? Could it be they're trying to normalize this kind of stuff... First people as outraged, but the seed is planted and after a while people become numb to it like it's happening in the Western world
I've been saying, they're after our kids
What's happening in America is proof and now who would've thought they'd dare to push their agenda in Pakistan of all places
That lobby is soo... powerful, worlwide
People are suspicious (and can you blame them) that they're trying to normalize pedophilia and pederasty and other stuff too

Yes,I watch a lot of Youth Club of Raja Zia and team videos .. US has been funding Pak for the LGBTQ agenda so this seems a part of that..

@bold: seriously? That sounds inappropriate for anyone. Hope the show is at least rated appropriately.

Yup that's the whole point .they advertised in the country that it's a return show for Fawad- Sanam and it's of 'international standard'...(Just watch the video of Nadia Khan praising the show)
I don't remember even a western show where an 8 year old says such a dialogue about her mom so I dunno what international audience they are catering too..
Oh there is also a scene where Fawad's kid makes a joke about necrophilia

Heck even my antennae rose up because of the zindagi Gulzar hai connection and FK. First couple of weeks I even followed the reviews and it was being reviewed positively. I was waiting for the show to end so that I can binge watch but thank God I am saved from it. Why the heck did Fawad approve such content? He was so proud of it actually, as per his interviews. 
This is the most balanced and apt review of Barzakh' first 5 episodes, by Aamna and Hassan, my two most favorite reviewers of Pakistani dramas...both are open minded, well educated, sophisticated, poised...and balanced at the same time.
Do watch from 47:30 time stamp.
