A bold scene from the web series Mr. & Mrs. Shamim has taken social media by storm, placing Pakistani acting veterans Noman Ejaz and Saba Qamar in the spotlight. Streaming on Zee5, the series centers on a couple dealing with AIDS and features a close scene between the actors that quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions.
Many fans have expressed disappointment, suggesting that actors of their caliber should avoid such bold scenes. One viewer remarked, “I thought this was from a Netflix show, but these are Pakistani actors.” Another noted, “These actors claim to leave home after ablution, yet they perform these scenes.” Saba Qamar, in particular, has faced criticism, especially after her role in Sar-e-Rah.
Despite the controversy, Noman and Saba are celebrated for their exceptional work. Saba has impressed audiences with her performances in popular dramas like Fraud, Sar-e-Rah, Serial Killer, and Pagal Khana. Noman has also earned acclaim for his roles in Daniya Pur, Hum Dono, and Bismil.
The two actors have previously shared the screen in projects such as Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi, Jo Chalay Toh Jaan Se Guzar Gaye, and Mr. & Mrs. Shamim itself.
