After the public made their opinion about Ertugrul Ghazi<\/em><\/strong> loud and clear, former actress Reema Khan has backtracked on her earlier statement. The mega-hit Turkish series, which goes by Dirilis Ertugrul originally, is a hit with the Pakistani masses.<\/p>\n

In another episode of her Ramadan transmission, Reema Khan says that she had not complained about foreign content on national television. She now claims that her intentions were different. What she really meant to say was that there should be a ‘barter system<\/em>‘ when it comes to broadcasting foreign content.<\/p>\n

“I’m not at all against the drama and our history, …. how can I be against something good?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Understandably, Reema was irked by the backlash of her previous statement.<\/p>\n

“All I said was that if this is being broadcast on our national channel there should be a ‘barter system<\/em>‘. Barter system means our archives have olf PTV content if that were dubbed and aired in Turkey or this should be discussed with their government, then the revenue from that would boost our production.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She went as far as to indirectly dub the backlash against her comments to be a sin. She explained how presenting a positive statement in a negative light was also a sin. However, did the public think her previous comments were positive?<\/p>\n

“Sharing someone’s positive statements with a negative light is a sin.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

Previously Reema Khan backed Shaan Shahid’s stance on PTV not broadcasting Ertugrul Ghazi<\/em><\/strong>, the Urdu dubbed version of the world-renowned series Dirilis Ertugrul<\/em><\/strong>. The actress talked about how it was inappropriate for a state broadcaster to be airing foreign content.<\/p>\n

She says the move is not doing any favors to local artists, who are tax-payers.<\/p>\n

Her comments triggered a massive public backlash, as Dirlis Ertugrul<\/em><\/strong> has a steadily growing fanbase in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Pakistani fanbases do not take anything lightly and the outcome was harsh. Plenty of other Pakistani artists have voiced opposition<\/a> to the internationally beloved series. However, Reema Khan is the first to take back her comments.<\/p>\n
