The drama Khudsar, which airs on ARY Digital, has garnered a lot of support from viewers. With more than 50 episodes under its belt and a cast that includes Humayun Ashraf, Sehar Afzal, and Zubab Rana, the drama is still very popular. A recent episode gained attention for legal reasons because it used a visual without the subject’s permission.
In one scene, Zubab Rana’s mother shows her an Australian photo that could be a potential match for her. She comments on how attractive he is and becomes giddy upon seeing the photo. Things went wrong because the creators of Khudsar improperly used this man’s picture.
Umair Ali, an Islamabad native who works in real estate, claimed on Tiktok that his photo was used in episode 54 without getting his permission.
This was the video:
What he had to say was this:
