Pakistani awam's opinions are ever-changing and quite volatile
Yall remember when Barzakh came out? Sanam and Fawad both got a hell lot of hate. The series itself, to me personally, seemed super pretentious and bekar ki English use hui wi thi har dialogue mein. They focused too much on symbolism than actual story. It was mostly hated because of showing some elements of homosexuality.
Anyways uske baad she was bad in the public's eye. All it took was Kafeel (which I loved btw), a drama about an innocent woman punished by society. Shareef aurat ka role kar ke now everyone loves her again.
Same can be said about other current mainstream artists. Maanu, Abdul Hanan, Hasan Raheem, other indie artists especially Amna Riaz (which I've been listening since their first songs and was looked down upon when I played them) were hated a lot. All it takes is a few songs (kya sach ho tum?, Jhol, Obvious) that everyone likes and everybody else joins in.
Does this happen everywhere or is only our awam like this?
