I'm fine with people shipping Katha and Viaan..It's fiction afterall and I don't take it seriously. But some of the replies in DDT were so disturbing to read..that Katha has made a choice and that she isn't a victim. People must understand that Katha might have verbally said "yes" but non verbally she made it clear with her gestures that she isn't okay with the act. Yet he went ahead with it and funny part is he manages to make himself a victim out of the situation and keeps harping about how Katha disappointed him. This guy sleeping with a woman in the pretext of testing her is okay but Katha is the one who is characterless according to him..The scene right after the ons where Katha was literally feeling suffocated and was gasping for breath is a proof enough of how much "consent" was involved in the act.

I’m still amazed dude never asked her why she needed the money

After it’s all said and done, he is like, oh yeah btw what was the money for ?

I’m watching for Katha. She is shown strong & resilient. Her acting is amazing

If she needs to end up with someone as per the story I would much rather it be Ehsan who truly seems to respect her. Had she gone to him with her request he would have asked many questions & maybe even earn her trust.

But alas the whole show is about a paid ‘ONS’ & how it turns to love 🥴

KA is indeed a groundbreaker show, in a myriad of ITV shows with dramatic OTT ambience, bad storylines and awful MLs somehow it's done something incredibly different... Show rape as a positive thing.

Lemme start w the fact that it's not a ONS. It's rape. Stop whitewashing the incident. She's not ready for that, she did not want it, and it's forced prostitution. She's forced to sell herself.

The fact that she shuddered in fear when he touched her, yet he's able to perform further is evident of his true character. He's a rapist who doesnt have any concern for women's autonomy, comfort, basic physical boundaries.

The reason it's way more disturbing in indian subcontinent is bcz how real it is. Women are supposed to putup with this in arranged marriages, when husbands are eligible acc to parents and society. He's hot/educated/well off and that's enough reason to put up with 'one bad thing'.

The nibbi response to the show is most disgusting part, this is what audience, esp nibbis are gonna learn to accept. Rape aint a big deal as long as there're sweet gestures and coffee involved later on.

This show is more regressive than colors+sp combined.

Good to see someone raising this point. So as long as the other person is hot and successful and regrets his actions later he can get away with any crime. Disgusting

This show is just promoting the old misogynist notion that if it's a hot guy, women don't really mind assault. Which is wrong in reality, plenty of women have come out against hot, rich, successful men, bc its not abt looks, it's abt consent.

However the whitewashing of a criminal for nibbi audience here, is pukeworthy. He solicited sex using his power from an employee, which would get you thrown outta your job, but the fact that he continued even when she's shuddering in fear at his touch, just tells you his character. His 5 min fun was more important than someone's existence.

I don’t agree it’s rape. Coz that requires lack of consent on the woman’s part, and mal-intent on the man’s part. But Viaan did not know about Katha’s “majboori” or that she is in so terribly cornered by life that her consent is not real consent but rather left with no other option. He was thinking she needs the money for love of money. He did not realize he is taking advantage of a woman’s despair. He is a fool & can’t read people, but not mal-intentioned in that sense.


And hence Katha is a victim for sure, but not a victim of Viaan. She is a victim of life circumstances, of prejudice (of her FIL & Viaan), of the system (corporate culture that is unsupportive of women with personal responsibilities).


That said, a boss asking an employee for a ONS, whether for money or just like that, would attract the law against workplace sexual harrassment. The CVs could have got around that by establishing some initial attraction between the leads which makes it more like an adult single man asking another adult single woman.

THIS.

It's not consensual. If it was, there wouldn't be any issue at all. I dont have a problem with ONS, go have fun, it's your life, and sex is fun. BUT Katha didnt gave her consent, it's coerced outta her. All the signs, before, during and after the act shows that it's S assault.

Yes it's not rape bcz everyone watching this show needs that satisfaction that he's not a rapist nd they're not rooting for a rapist.

Consensual sex needs consent, not necessarily in form of yes/no BUT enthusiastically participation of both parties. That's missing. She's not at all wanting him, and his intent, do you know how biology works in case of men? The fact that he's able to keep it up, and perform, despite her shuddering dear shows his intent.

@bold holy f shit! Did you just make that power abusing rapist a bechara cutie fool? No, he's not a fool. He's a criminal. A rapist. Brock turner did way less, he's a teen and he's forever engraved in books as a rapist. Mr bean, johnny lever characters, cartoons are fools, he isnt. Nobody but a rapist overlooks physical signs of fear in women.

Katha Ankahee serial hai ya real life rape incident?

ONS means rape seriously 😲

If I'm not wrong it's only a fictional show right?

Plus official Turkish hit show ka remake hai means show ki theme pehle se sabko pata hai " ONS turns into true love" thats it!!

If you like it watch it 👍🏼

If you don't like it just simply ignore it👎🏼

Pointless comparisons ki koi jarurat hi nahi hai

Lol It wasn’t even a one night stand, it was a deal, prostitution. She did the act for money. Even Katha knows this and this is why it makes her feel yuck. So she wants to forget and not talk about it. At least Katha knows the facts and the difference even if the audience is confused.

It is one night stand. In America if a drunk girl sex with drunk men, it is called one night stand. In India girl can claim rape because drunk girl can't give conscious consent.

I will not called this prostitution because Katha ask for loan not money. It is more like casting couch. Girl ask for a favor and boy demand sex for that. Let's say a girl is virgin and went for audition. The man offered her role for one night stand. The girl desire for becoming actress is more than her virginity/self respect. She went for ONS but a little hesitant because it's her first time with strange men. Man say she can go back if she want but will not get role. She confirm her consent. Then it is not rape.

Yes, girl sold her body for one night stand.

Again if a men cheated after sex then it is called rape in india. If am man refuses to marry after sex after promise of marriage then she can claim rape. In this case Viaan fulfil his promise.

The word Sexual harassment is tricky. In our office there is separate learning for what is called sexual harassment in office as per india law.

You can't ask for sexual favor to a lady for anything in your power of your role. For example boss asking for sex for promotion is called harassment. Even boss asking it outside office is still called harassment.

Here boss ask for one night stand in office is clearly harassment. But he is not using his boss power to give her loan. He clearly said office can't give her loan. He personally will give. Now that's tricky. Still directly asking for sexual favor in office is still harassment. Katha can charge him for harassment in office. But she went ahead with the proposal so now she can't charge.
