Mrs. & Mr. Shameem, the ZEE5 original series previously titled Man Jogi, will be released on the platform globally on March 11. Fans were already excited to watch the web series starring Saba Qamar and Nauman Ijaz as an unconventional lead couple and the trailer took the anticipation and excitement to a whole new level.
Sadly, the Pakistani audience will not be able to watch it owing to the ban that was implemented on the streaming portal. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had directed all banks to stop the online payment of Indian streaming platforms including Zee5.
Saji Gul, who wants the Pakistani audience to watch Mrs. & Mr. Shameem took to social media to request the government to lift the ban.
