‘Baddua’: Muneeb Butt and Amar Khan’s Drama Receives Immense Backlash Online

Netizens are not happy with the controversial story of the drama serial.

Drama serial Baddua creates controversy on social media following its first episode. The ARY show receives criticism online for its storyline and for casting Amar Khan as a university girl.

ARY Digital is one of the biggest channels in Pakistan, in terms of ratings and viewership. Over the years, the channel has been home to very successful drama serials, including the blockbuster phenomena that is Mere Pass Tum Ho.

The latest drama in the channel’s lineup is Baddua (which means “bad luck”). The show features a promising cast of actors and actresses. The drama serial revolves around the story of “Abeer” (played by the lovely Amar Khan). While the main hero is Muneeb Butt as “Junaid”. We got to see what the show is all about as the first episode aired last night.

The story focuses on Abeer, who is a bit of a charmer and occasionally flirts with boys. She plays with their feelings for her benefit. Abeer goes to meet her best friend and her fiancé Junaid, with whom she falls in love. Muneeb Butt’s character is also of flirtatious nature as well. So, we can safely assume that Abeer’s bestie is going to have her heartbroken and Abeer-Junaid’s relationship will cause a chain of reaction that will bring about their “bad luck”.

Ironically, the opening episode of Baddua received badduas (bad luck) from the viewers. The audience took to social media to criticize the plot for being distasteful and somehow similar to Jalan. Check it out!

Many people also complain that the 31-year-old Amar Khan is too old to be playing a university girl.
