Hyderabad: Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government imposed restrictions on several Pakistani entertainment channels on YouTube, including major networks like ARY Digital, Har Pal Geo, and Hum TV. The blocked channels now display a message stating that the content is unavailable in India due to national security concerns.
However, despite the ban, Pakistani dramas have found a new way to reach their Indian audience. Producers and content creators from Pakistan’s entertainment industry have launched alternate YouTube channels, where ongoing and latest dramas are being uploaded with the same production quality as the original platforms.

- Best Pakistani Dramas by DRM boasting 6.45 million subscribers
These channels are now streaming the latest episodes of trending dramas such as Parwarish and Humraaz.
