Veteran Pakistani actress and filmmaker Sangeeta has found herself at the center of online debate after a behind-the-scenes video
Veteran Pakistani actress and filmmaker Sangeeta has found herself at the center of online debate after a behind-the-scenes video from the set of her upcoming film Makho went viral on social media.
The video shows Sangeeta directing actor Moammar Rana during the filming of a romantic scene. Shortly after the clip surfaced online, social media users began sharing mixed reactions. Some criticized the director’s method of explaining the scene, describing it as unnecessary, while others posted humorous and sarcastic comments about the interaction.

However, many fans and industry followers defended Sangeeta, arguing that the short clip had been taken out of context. They pointed out that it is a director’s responsibility to guide actors through emotional and romantic sequences, and that providing detailed instructions is a normal part of the filmmaking process. Supporters also emphasized that judging a film or a director’s work based on a brief behind-the-scenes video is unfair.
Sangeeta recently returned to filmmaking with Makho, marking her comeback as a director after several years. The film features an ensemble cast, including Saima Noor, Meera, and Moammar Rana, and has already generated considerable interest among Pakistani cinema fans.
Despite the online discussion, no official statement has been issued by Sangeeta or the film’s production team regarding the viral clip. The release date for Makho has also not yet been announced.
As anticipation for the film continues to grow, many believe audiences should wait for the finished project before forming opinions about the performances or the director’s creative approach.
