'Diyar-e-Dil' is now available on ZEE5

Indian streamer is running the 2015 serial despite being unavailable in Pakistan due to SBP directives

Earlier in November, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had directed all banks to halt online payments of Indian streaming platforms, reported Express PK.

But despite the bars and broken communication, Zee5 continues to stream Pakistani content to its viewers in India and across the globe. "It was a secret though, all episodes of #DiyarEDil are now streaming on ZEE5," Zindagi announced in a tweet on Thursday.

The television serial's actor Ali Rehman Khan also shared the news on his Twitter. "All episodes of #DiyarEDil finally out on #Zee5!" he wrote, with a thankful emoticon.

In a notice to the presidents and CEOs of all banks, electronic money institutions (EMIs), Payment System Operators (PSOs), and payment service providers (PSPs), the state bank had ordered to stop accepting different mode of payments, including credit cards for subscribing to Indian content in Pakistan, specifically mentioning Zee5.

Recently, five original Pakistani shows have been produced by the aforementioned streaming platform. Asim Abbasi's Churails and Mehreen Jabbar's Ek Jhooti Love Story have been released on ZEE5 so far.
