**Tehran, Iran** – The popular Iranian television series *Pایتخت 7* (Paytakht 7) is generating buzz, both for its new character and for the controversial reactions to its portrayal of certain professions.
Shiva Makinian has joined the cast as Sheri Taghipour, the love interest of the character Ardeshir. Makinian, born in Isfahan in 1960, is a seasoned actress with extensive experience performing internationally in English and French. Her role in *Pایتخت 7* has sparked considerable discussion online.
However, a significant portion of the online commentary focuses not on Makinian’s performance, but on the show’s portrayal of working-class individuals, specifically market vendors and real estate agents. Viewers have criticized the series for what they perceive as disrespectful and insulting depictions of these professions. Many commenters emphasized that these individuals are hardworking members of society with families to support and condemned the perceived lack of respect shown in the show.
The series itself continues to be a major talking point, with many viewers praising the show’s overall quality and the acting performances while others remain critical of the protagonist Naki’s behavior and what they perceive as an unhealthy family dynamic and a promotion of dishonesty. The show’s continued popularity is undeniable despite the controversy.
