Pakistani actor Saba Qamar’s upcoming show ‘Baaghi’, based on the life of controversial social media figure Qandeel Baloch, will launch on the Zindagi channel’s DTH platforms on June 28.

Zindagi channel was recently made available on Indian television as a value-added service on Tata Play, Dish TV, D2H, and Airtel TV with shows such as ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’, ‘Aunn Zara’, and ‘Sadqay Tumhare’.

The story aims to humanize the late social media sensation, who was undeserving of the hatred.

‘Baaghi’ features Qamar as Fouzia Azeem, better known by the stage name Qandeel Baloch, who was strangled to death by her brother Muhammad Waseem in July 2016.

Written by Shazia Khan and directed by Farooq Rind, the show was launched in Pakistan in 2017.
