I hope everyone who watches the show enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it. Such collaborations and initiatives taken by ZEE5 Global and Zindagi must actively take place to narrate such stories to a global audience.”

Ahad Raza Mir said, “The uniqueness of Dhoop Ki Deewar lies in its subject. It speaks a language that the audience world over can relate to on a human level. It caters not just to those who are directly affected, but has a broader message of peace and love.”

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.
