“I was not expecting such immature toxicity from Atiqa Odho!!"
Atiqa Odho has recently stirred up controversy with her criticism of the drama Noor Jahan on the show Kya Drama Hai.
While discussing the series, the veteran actress pointed out a particular scene—the letter from Noor Jahan to Noor Bano.
The actress claimed it was copied from Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Atiqa expressed her disappointment upon seeing the scene.
She stated that despite her appreciation for Musaddiq Malik’s work, this instance felt like a blatant imitation.
However, her comments did not sit well with the public. Many fans of Noor Jahan rushed to defend the drama.
They argued that only a single line resembled the Bollywood film and emphasised that Indian dramas often borrow from Pakistani narratives.
Critics of Atiqa labelled her “jealous” for her harsh comments, insisting that Noor Jahan deserves recognition for its originality and impact.
A user said: “I was not expecting such immature toxicity from Atiqa Odho!!
“What a shame to try to sabotage one of the masterpiece dramas of Pakistan!
“I am still clueless about why she has done this! Nothing happened but her personality image is completely shattered!”
Another wrote: “I went back to watch Rocky and Rani and it was only one sentence where she said, ‘Mera rutba and umer is baat ke ejazat nahi deta’. Such a stupid thing to mention.”
A third added: “Atiqa should haven’t mentioned it. Just spoiled the image of a masterpiece not in Pakistan only but in India as well.”
Noor Jahan, which recently concluded on ARY Digital, has been a resounding success, captivating audiences with its powerful performances and compelling storyline.
Viewers have praised the series for its beautifully written script and exceptional direction, making it one of the standout dramas.
The show has left a lasting impression, and fans are still buzzing about the talent of its cast.
Kubra Khan, who played a significant role in Noor Jahan, also weighed in on the drama’s success.
She was initially hesitant to join the cast because she thought it would be just another typical “saas-bahu” story.
The actress later realised the depth of her character and how it addressed generational trauma.
Kubra’s change of heart highlights the show’s rich storytelling, which has resonated with viewers and critics alike.
As the debate continues, it’s clear that Noor Jahan has made its mark, and many will remember it as a significant highlight of current television.
Whether Atiqa Odho’s critique holds weight or not, the drama’s success speaks volumes about its impact on the audience.
