You know what is more hypocrite about these Pakistani channels. They cried like anything, when Turkish dramas started getting popularity. This very channel ARY and many celebrities (including Humayun Saeed and Misha Shafi’s mother Saba Hameed) said that these dramas are against our own culture. Now when they are presenting Pakistani viewers with such stuff, where does their sense of cultural modesty gone?

That is a very good point. The drama* Aşk-ı Memnu *received particularly harsh criticism as it depicted various western lifestyle behaviours, such as drinking, going out and clubbing, which people found objectionable. I think people also had a problem with the fact that it depicted female adultery in a rather casual manner (well, before the ending at least). Ironically though, it was still rather popular in Pakistan.
