ISLAMABAD, 14 October, 2026 (Kamran Raja): Pakistani actress Dananeer Mobeen has expressed mixed emotions over the overwhelming response to her performance as Hurmat in the drama serial Hurmat, aired on HUM TV. While thanking viewers for their appreciation, the actress admitted that some of the feedback had left her deeply saddened, particularly a comment from a viewer who wrote, “Our father painted our windows so that we couldn’t look outside.” Sharing her thoughts in an Instagram story on Tuesday, Mobeen said she was happy that audiences could relate to her character but felt heartbroken by the circumstances that made the story so relatable. In Hurmat, Mobeen portrays a young woman living under the strict and controlling authority of her ultra-conservative father, who dictates nearly every aspect of her life. Despite achieving good grades, Hurmat is denied the opportunity to attend university because her father believes women should not leave the house unnecessarily. The restrictions leave her feeling helpless and undermine her self-confidence. The drama highlights the challenges faced by many Pakistani women who continue to encounter barriers to education, personal freedom and independent decision-making. Within its first two episodes, Hurmat has drawn attention to the emotional and social consequences of denying women the right to make choices about their own lives. Mobeen’s response reflects her gratitude for the audience’s support, alongside sadness that the struggles portrayed on screen remain a reality for many women. The drama also underscores the power of television to bring deeply personal and socially significant issues into public discussion.
