The comedy show that first premiered in 2015 is still the favourite show among the viewers. In the sitcom, Vibhuti Narayan played by Aasif Sheikh and Rohitash Gaud as Manmohan Tiwari, are shown falling in love with each other’s wife, interestingly, the two ladies also like getting their attention. While the theme is fine among the Indian audience, but Pakistan banned the show for sending the wrong message.
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein
The fan following for Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel was an all-time high in the neighbouring country, but the Pak govt wasn’t happy with the show’s theme. On the other hand, the intimacy in one of the episodes between the lead character Raman and Ishita also became reason for the show to get banned.
Qubool Hai
Despite revolving around a Muslim family, the hit show got banned in Pakistan. While there was no concrete reason, but they refused to air the show just because the show features an Indian Muslim family.
