In the present circumstances, after the Indian extremist party, MNS had openly threatened Pakistani actors to leave India within the time span of 48 hours or they’ll get “pushed out” of the country, Zindagi channel decides to ban all Pakistani TV dramas and shows to go on air in India.
Launched in 2014, Zee Zindagi TV was the first channel to start working on content collaboration from Pakistan. Dramas like Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam, Sasural Ki Galli, Noor Bano, Main Bushra and Jab We Wed gained a lot of popularity among Indian masses.
