However, ARY Digital’s Sar-e-Rah has been receiving a lot of praise for breaking stereotypes in Pakistan. Sar-e-Rah drama is unfolding the dark realities of our society where women are subjugated and looked down upon. Saba Qamar is in the lead and is doing wonders with her role as a female taxi driver in a misogynist society.
Women from various social groups are mixed together and connected to Saba Qamar’s major narrative in this story.

It demonstrates how women must deal with intractable issues brought about by men who have no tolerance for genders other than their own.
