Netflix, Amazon Prime, Zee 5 Take Down All Pakistani Shows And Content After Government Note
New Delhi: Following the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 and the subsequent Operation Sindoor by India targeting terror camps in Pakistan, the entertainment industry has been impacted amid rising tensions along the border. On Thursday, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory asking streaming platforms to stop hosting content that originates in Pakistan. "In the interest of national security, all OTT platforms, media streaming platforms and intermediaries operating in India are advised to discontinue the web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming media content, whether made available on a subscription based model or otherwise, having its origins in Pakistan with immediate effect," the advisory stated. A quick search shows that major OTT platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Zee5 and JioCinema currently do not host any Pakistani content. Earlier, shows like Zindagi Gulzar Hai and Humsafar were available on Netflix but have since been removed. Zee Zindagi, known for streaming Pakistani originals in the past, has also taken down such titles from its catalogue. The much-awaited show Barzakh, starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, has also been removed from ZEE5. A source close to the channel told India Today that the content was removed before any formal advisory was issued, as a precautionary measure to avoid controversy. Even before Operation Sindoor, YouTube had blocked Pakistani entertainment channels such as Hum TV and ARY Digital in India. Sixteen other channels were also banned for allegedly spreading misinformation. However, Pakistani music content like Coke Studio Pakistan and songs by individual artists are still accessible. A trade source said the advisory came into effect only on Thursday evening and will take time to be fully enforced. "Also, it said that content which had its origins in Pakistan, but a lot of content by Pakistani artists has also been produced in India. So there is no clarity around the same. Coke is a global brand, so we still don't know if Coke Studio falls into the Pakistan-originated content. As time passes, we will have better clarity," they said.

Glamour and celebrations
One of Sanam Saeed's biggest claims to fame in 2024 was her appearance in the contentious web series Barzakh. So far, 2025 appears to be a quieter year for the film and television star, but no one can accuse Sanam of melting into obscurity. To keep her fans engaged, the Cake actor lit up her Instagram handle with a 20-photo carousel of her life over the past few months, ranging from full-on glamour to casual meals out with friends to a hilariously relatable pouting selfie. Sanam's photo dump begins with her flaunting a deep blue and gold sari at a formal event, holding a golden clutch with her long locks hanging loose. We move on to a snippet of the star clad in a long white gown, touching up her lipstick. In the third shot, Sanam dials back the glamour but is no less stunning in a casual long white skirt and orange blouse as she snaps a selfie in the mirror of a lift. The fourth below-the-chin selfie shows us Sanam pouting, with the camera drawing attention to her full, made-up lips and her on-point mascara as her lashes stand to attention. The next photo shows a behind-the-scenes snapshot of an actor learning her lines, with her script lying open on a bed. We cannot see Sanam's face here, but nevertheless, we are fully drawn into the world of studying, reminded of times when we, too, sat on the bed memorising things out of textbooks. As a special surprise, we travel to a kitchen for Sanam's fifth shot, where she shows off her apron and grins up at fellow actor Humayun Saeed in a kitchen, drinks and cut-up lemons sitting on the counter before them. The next few shots slip into the casualness of hanging with friends and family, although one shot of an awards show sneaks into the carousel, with Sanam showing off a dazzling red gown. For the remainder of the photos, we flicker through yet more shots of celebrations with family and friends. It would be an incomplete Sanam photo dump without a shot of her smiling side by side with her man, actor Mohib Mirza as she rocks a sleeveless floral print dress. To wrap things up, we end with a beautiful shot of the glowing sun setting into the sea. "Life is pie some slices over the last few months," wrote the actor, ending her caption with the hashtag 'photo dump'.
