Ayesha Omar’s Bold Look in Lazawal Ishq Sparks Online Backlash
The Lazawal Ishq controversy has taken social media by storm—even before the drama’s official premiere. Starring popular actress Ayesha Omar, the show’s trailer was expected to create buzz—but not of this kind.
Ayesha Omar’s bold styling and wardrobe choices have drawn sharp criticism. Veteran actress Mishi Khan was one of the first to publicly condemn the show, stating that it “violates cultural norms.” Influencers and social media commentators echoed similar sentiments, calling Ayesha’s look “vulgar” and urging a boycott of Lazawal Ishq.
Despite the backlash, a section of the audience is defending the drama’s progressive themes, claiming the outrage is part of a wider resistance to change in Pakistani television.
