This must be the reason why my country have no Disney Plus yet. Disney wants to sell Disney Plus originals as movies instead shows . They will lose money if those countries have Disney Plus

I am surprised that this show will be viewed by a Pakistani audience. I’m American and don’t know much about their entertainment “likes” or “dislikes”. But if they are happy about a female character with a positive image, why didn’t a Pakistani broadcast company create their own character? They have film and TV production companies in Pakistan.

What will be reaction of their society? Many of them still don’t approve female rights and she is here in main role. Could this series start some changes in society?
