I have a couple of Muslim friends too and with the passage of episodes some of them told me about their discomfort. the reason why i disliked QH was this portrayal...Zoya being buried alive, a girl being married off without her consent, Humaira pressurized to the extent that she cut her veins, her own mother plotting so that she ends up on ayaan's bed...these all put me off! As it is, all these rhapsodize violence against womenπ΅
and i am not a person to bash a show i don't really follow ...also some parts of it could have been passed as creative liberties had the PH not repeatedly advertized QH as "a show which will show Islam in a new light" or something to that effect, even before its commencement! It is wrong to drag religious sentiments and portray them in a wrong manner for entertainment especially when TV is hugely influential and common people like us are bound to get a false impression!
i am not saying that there are no social evils...every community has its own set of problems. but when the show is advertised as something which will change perception, they ought to be responsible!
TBH they did not have such a wrong regressive approach in IPK excluding dadi! however here, they have advertised it as a "myth breaker" but have got the portrayal wrong most of the times! Gul Khan failed in showcasing the beauty of her own culture!!
