This is all drama, owner of that channel is likely sleeping with khusra. Meanwhile christains, ahmadis live in fear of being accused of blasphemy anytime.

Well that's a first...
"I" never heard neither saw a Transgender on TV or any Public "Exposure" in the Entire Arab world (MENA)...

In Pakistan transgenders are very respected community as Pakistanis need their services nothing to do with Pakistan becoming more tolerant as blasphemy law still exist which haunt minorities.

It's not trans folk's fault that they are trans , they are born with limbs and faces like other human beings , just a tad different in terms of looks otherwise they should not be judged by people on their looks but on their acts instead this is very good development ! Our society is finally erasing the 'narrow minded' mindset slowly and progressing to the morally right mindset albeit slowly

Transgender activist Kami Sid is gearing up for her drama debut with Dil-e-Nadan


"The character will evoke interest as well as empathy," shares Kami

Last year, activist Kami Sid decided to foray into the world of fashion and entertainment.

Sid, who has been working for transgender rights in Pakistan, felt that the community needed to step into the spotlight to create awareness and change societal perceptions. And she knows television is a powerful medium.

With fashion shoots under her belt and a short film awaiting its release, Kami will be seen next in Express Entertainment's Dil-E-Nadan.

The camera seems to love her!


Talking to Images about the show, Kami shares: "It's an issue-based drama, which will highlight the lack of acceptance of transgenders in our society. Yes, there have been shows about this particular matter before but those roles have always been played by men. For the first time, you'll see a real transgender portraying such a role. The aim is to make sure that transgenders get acceptance, get work just like everyone else and we're implementing that in real life, my casting being an example of just that!"

Kami all smiles on set


"In the show, my character is a transgender who doesn't get acceptance from her family. She's upset and sad and winds up in a neighbourhood where she encounters a man named Gul Khan. He listens to her, he empowers her and gets her a job working for a local beautician, in whom I find a support system."

"However, after a few days, my parents put out an ad in the paper looking for me. That really warms my heart as it makes me realise that they do consider me their own and they do accept me no matter what, even if it did take some time for them to come around. This character is not only going to evoke interest but also empathy," she adds.

The show, which will air in November this year, has been written by Sajjad Haider Zaidi and directed by Naveed Jaffery. The cast includes Aabid Ali, Syed Mukhtar Ahmed, Manzoor Qureshi, Asad Zaman and Mariam Mirza among others.

A Disgusting thing to happen in our so called nation highlighting it’s a Islamic state credentials . Defender of Islam. Lol

Where is this crap coming from. Let me guess the arrivals who came in 1947 ?


It’s a mockery to our faith. Needs to be removed from the public.

Pakistan has the concept of third gender in ita official papers and this concept has existed in our culture guess you have never been to Rural Punjab and lack any knowledge about harems of Mughals

But they dont have any status they end up as beggars or prostitutes

People have forgotten this warning !

It was at the height of these crimes and sins that Allah revealed to Prophet Lut peace be upon him that he should summon the people to give up their indecent behavior, but they were so deeply sunk in their immoral habits that they were deaf to Lot's preaching. Swamped in their unnatural desires, they refused to listen, even when Lot warned them of Allah's punishment. Instead, they threatened to drive him out of the city if he kept on preaching.

Allah the Almighty revealed:

The people of Lot (those dwelt in the towns of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers when their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism) my reward is only from the Lord of the 'alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). Go you in unto the males of the 'alamin(mankind), and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!'

"They said, 'If you cease not, O Lot! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!'

He said, 'I am indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy). My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.'

"So We saved him and his family, all except an old woman (this wife) among those who remained behind."

Al-Qur'an 26:160-171

 

[shah_123]

Full rights and protections need to be given to LGBT community.

Dur fittey mun'

what do you mean even women can read news? It is development because we need to accommodate trans people in other professions too other than seeing them in sexual activity

What's the population of transgender in Pakistan.
