Umera Ahmed, being the writer behind the series, was condemned for selling her words to a nation that is behind the mass killings in Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the writer elucidates the matter on social media and maintained that the web series was actually written for a Pakistani content company Group M, that sold the story to Zee5.
