However, Sonia Hussain is now facing criticism over a post about the same drama in which she described autism as a symptom of schizophrenia.
It may be recalled that for some time now, dramas have been aired in Pakistan based on the problems in the society, such as sexual abuse of children in Adari, honor killings in rebellion, gender segregation in Sami, while special and pebble dramas were highlighted. The mother-in-law was different from the traditional dramas of the daughter-in-law.
Now Sami Khan and Sonia Hussain will create awareness about schizophrenia in their upcoming drama Sarab in which actress Sonia will play the role of a mental patient.
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness that affects the way we think and the way we act.
A few days ago, two teasers of Sonia Hussain and Sami Khan's drama Sarab were released in which a glimpse of her characters and story was presented.

In another teaser shared by Sami Khan on Instagram, Sonia Hussain and Sami Khan were seen talking about their marriage and then the actress in her wedding dress refused to convey to Sami Khan.
Both the teasers of the drama received a lot of attention from the fans and most of them also expressed their expectation that the drama would be aired soon but Sonia Hussain shared a photo on Instagram.
In it, he wrote that if you feel guilty about mental illness, review the definition of 'illness' and show as much respect and concern for yourself as you would for a heart patient.
Sonia Hussain wrote that now is the time to end the stigma or mistake associated with any type of 'mental illness'.
However, in the photo that the actress posted, she added grief, suicide and other things including autism and she faced criticism for her thoughts when she told the mother of 2 children suffering from the disease. Tried to explain.
"I have 2 children who have autism so I know what I'm talking about," he wrote in a comment.
"Otherwise it is a very good message and it is very important to highlight it and create awareness about this very sensitive topic," she added.
To which Sonia Hassan replied that we don't know about you people but usually when someone talks about their life experience we listen to them.
The actress added that we may have mistakenly added that 'autism is a symptom of schizophrenia'.
Meanwhile another follower commented that please do research before taking the script and don't talk about the term that it is considered good to discuss such topics, autism is a neurodevelopment condition.
"My nephew suffers from autism and if he remembers the grocery statistics from 2 months ago, he will listen to the rap song once and sing it in the blink of an eye,"
pHOTO-2
Sonia Hussain may have been confused by the genetic overlap between patients with two different conditions, while medical experts say that autism is not a disease but a developmental disorder that means that the person with autism The brain works a little differently than the average person.
This also means that the person with autism may have an average or higher IQ.
But it is important to note that when artists raise their voices for awareness of important issues, it is important for them to inform themselves. However, Sonia Hussain failed to present the subtleties in her comments that raise awareness about mental health. Necessary for communication.
Perhaps it is also a lesson for public figures to be aware of themselves before commenting on a topic on social media.
