Yasir Hussain sparks outrage with porn legalisation suggestion

Author: News Desk

Yasir Hussain – a prominent actor, writer and director – has once again found himself at the centre of a media storm.

Known for his unique content and strong acting skills rooted in theatre, Hussain is no stranger to controversy. Married to one of Pakistan’s top stars, Iqra Aziz, with whom he shares a son, Hussain’s latest remarks have ignited widespread public debate.

In a recent statement, Hussain suggested that the government should consider legalizing and regulating adult content, arguing that such a move could generate significant revenue.

He emphasised that he neither watches nor has any interest in creating adult content but noted that the consumption of such material is prevalent. He pointed out that some stage plays already flirt with adult themes, hinting at a cultural tolerance that could be monetized.

Hussain’s comments have drawn sharp criticism from various quarters. Social media platforms buzzed with reactions, ranging from outrage to disbelief.

One user remarked, “Just because people are addicted to it, the government ought to legalize it. Wow. What a statement.” Another commented, “Attention seeker.” The suggestion has opened a broader discussion on the regulation of adult content in Pakistan, a country often in the news for high consumption rates of such material despite stringent laws.
