- Shah, a rising actress, criticizes Taimoor for glorifying abuse in his dramas.
Danish Taimoor has become one of the biggest stars in Pakistani dramas, with several of his projects crossing one billion views. He actively celebrates his massive success. However, audiences and critics have recently questioned the kind of content he chooses to work in. His ongoing drama “Mann Mast Malang” portrays abusive behavior in a glorified light. Taimoor also played toxic male leads in “Ishq Hai”, “Deewangi”, and “Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi”, where problematic characters received undue romanticization.
Alina Abbas Shah, a rising actress, has taken on several powerful roles early in her career. Her performance as Safina in “Noor Jahan” moved many viewers, as she delivered a sensitive and impactful portrayal that resonated with countless women in society. In interviews, she has expressed her intention to take on socially responsible roles and continue portraying meaningful narratives on screen.
Alina Abbas Shah has called out Danish Taimoor for his choice of characters. She said that “Danish needs to rethink his whole career. By glorifying abuse as romance in his dramas, he is encouraging many other men not to take no for an answer.” She further added that “if you are bringing toxic stories on the screens, justifying them as romance and continuing this trend because it runs your kitchen, then it is wrong. A society that idolizes such people is wrong. This came up after the heartwrenching murder of Sana Yousaf, where the guy could not take no for an answer.”
