Hug Scenes To Be Banned In Pakistan TV As It “Disregards Culture”

Hug Scenes To Be Banned In Pakistan As Officials Deem It Vulgar


HUG SCENE BAN

– Pakistan Television may have shows with hug scenes banned from broadcast.

Characters getting intimate with one another has always been a staple when it comes to television. And, as the years go by, this form of “intimacy” gets steamier (just ask Netflix).

However, the cultures of the West may not fly so well with that of Pakistan. According to an article from Hindu Times, hugs may be considered as “vulgar” as it “disregards” Pakistani culture.

Along with hugs, we could see caressing, extramarital relations, vulgar dressing, bed scenes, and other intimate scenes as an “utter disregard to Islamic teachings”. As such, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) asked several local TV channels to censor these types of scenes.

Furthermore, the

article

stated that PEMRA received several complaints regarding “objectionable” content. Among these includes, but are not limited to:

  • indecent dressing
  • caressing
  • bed scenes
  • gestures
  • sensitive or controversial plots

PEMRA said that scenes that are against the commonly accepted standards of decency should be censored or removed from shows. Here is the official statement of PEMRA regarding the issue:

“A considerable stratum of the society believes that dramas are not depicting the true picture of Pakistani society. Hugs/Caress scenes/extramarital relations, vulgar/bold dressing, bed scenes and intimacy of married couple are being glamourised in utter disregard to Islamic teachings and culture of Pakistani society”

Meanwhile, netizens commented how intimacy and affection between a married couple isn’t a “true depiction” of Pakistani culture. Moreover, some said that this must not be “glamourized”.
