In Pakistan, 'Eternal Love' has no place on YouTube

Home In Pakistan, 'Eternal Love' has no place on YouTube YouTube has hit pause on a dating show that whisked eight men and women from Pakistan to a sun-soaked Istanbul villa, where the strangers mingled, flirted and searched for chemistry. What was meant to be a glittering escape into modern-day romance sparked a storm back home, turning the rose-petal drama into a cultural, traditional and religious flashpoint. The show "Lazawal Ishq", or "Eternal Love", aired 50 episodes before it was recently taken off YouTube in Pakistan, though it is still available elsewhere. The format, reminiscent of the British reality hit "Love Island", pushed boundaries that Pakistani entertainment typically avoids. "Our programme might not be watchable in Pakistan due to political reasons," the show posted on its Instagram page. It advised Pakistani viewers to use virtual private networks (VPNs) to continue watching.
