People have been anxiously waiting for the last episode of Meray Paas Tum Ho, people have been giving their own theories on how the drama might end.
Amidst the anticipation, a woman named Maham has filed a petition to halt MPTH’s last episode as the drama has been insulting women ever since it began. The petition reads: “the writer of this script has shown his mental harshness against the dignity of women in a very disrespectful manner.”
As the news of the petition spread, the tweeple have been divided in offering their support:
Who is this lady I wanna shake her hand!
"A woman filed a petition in a Lahore civil court to halt the release of Mere Pass Tum Ho's final episode.
The drama serial has continuously insulted women, the petitioner said, adding that it has not been of benefit to Pakistani women." https://t.co/VyAdpgzNeb

Some disappointed at the halt of Zindagi Tamasha, were wondering how easily they could halt MPTH as well:

Some thought she could use her rights for better things:
Freedom of expression is one thing, I acknowledge.
Buttttt a lot of shitty things happening in this society and all she could see was this drama serial showing women as worthless, which also aint true 🤷🏻♀️

What do you think about this petition? Let us know in the comments below!
I don’t agree that women are insulted in this drama. Maham and Hania are shown to be two strong, independent, respectable, educated women. Two people who are insulted are Shehwar and Mehwish. Its for what they both did!
