A viral clip from the international web series “Our Big Punjabi Family,” featuring Bushra Ansari, has sparked a significant debate on social media. The controversy emerged from a scene where Ansari’s character refers to a transgender individual using ‘they/them’ pronouns.

In the scene, Ansari advocates for using gender-neutral pronouns, stating, “Call her either ‘they’ or ‘them’.” While the drama is part of an international web series, Ansari’s dialogue has ignited a discussion regarding LGBTQ representation in Pakistan.

Subsequently, Ansari has faced criticism for purportedly promoting an LGBTQ agenda conflicting with Islamic values.

The series, boasting an IMDB rating of 9.2, revolves around Sitara and her husband, who, after facing financial hardship due to a failed investment, seek refuge with their Punjabi relatives. Through their journey, they redefine family values while navigating their cultural identity.
