A Pakistani court has decided that the sequence, which featured in a television programme in May, is deeply offensive and should result in prison sentences for four people involved.

The 30-year-old actress, along with her husband Asad Bashir Khan Khattak, the owner of the company that aired the programme Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman and TV host Shaista Wahidi were given 104 years in jail between them this week.

The court objects to the use of a “contemptuous” qawwali – a traditional form of South Asian music – in the programme.
