we actually need a story where a wife mistreats her husband but still husband accepts her back...but the chance of it happening in drama and real life is 1%😆

i have read so many novel and watched so many dramas...most of them revolve around a mazloom aurat made to compromise

i understand it happens in most cases but tv needs to show a bit of responsibility and atleast try and change the thinking prevalent in our male dominated society

Main Abdul Qadir Hoon was an exception. It revolves around a guy..the difficulties he faces..how the girl he loves rejects him etc..how another girl comes into his life & shows him what life really is..he then finds God & the meaning of life etc etc.

Unfortunately..people like watching the bechari aurat always having problems. Main Abdul Qadir Hoon is an underrated performance..the fact it gets neglected at award shows, and didn't receive the grand recognition shows you that the Pakistani audience prefers watching the females as the central characters since more than half the viewers are females.

Yes MAQH and QeT i believe are the only two exceptions...atleast they tried to show something different but since then we are only moving backwards

But even in MAQH and QeT the guys get married twice 😆

Novels mein toh its worst ...i can't even believe that most of these novel writers are women and still they treat their female characters so badly...aisa lagta hai that female characters don't have any self respect

@ starstruck- I personally love MAQH...it is and will always remain to be one of my favorites...I can't put into words what I feel for that show..

As for SeZ, I finally watched the lase episode...had missed many in the middle due to the drag, but thought I'd watch the last one..and I actually liked it. When I had read the book, I was kinda disappointed in Falak that she forgave Salman and went back to him, etc. Of course, I didn't put myself in her position, or wasn't thinking straight because I just wanted to finish reading, but when I saw it today, I couldn't have been happier for the ending. It was so peaceful and satisfying. She forgave and saved her marriage. What could be better than this?! Forgiving is a great act in Islam and really loved by Allah and divorce is the most hated of all the Halal things that exist..I could go on and on, but all I'd say is, I was glad for Falak's decision.

Writers are females..audiences are mostly females..no wonder everything is female centric. However, with reasoning I don't find female characters losing self respect in some of these dramas. For example, if Falak going back to Salman is her lacking self respect then I totally disagree..I think Umera puts it in perspective in the very end. And, in such a scenario..Salman, the guy. should think about his self respect if he had any to begin with as well.. why not criticize him too?... He has an affair with his wife, and then asks for forgiveness as if nothing even happened. Yes. however, there are other dramas which lack logical explanations of how a woman goes through so much etc .but the writer never provides solid reasoning as to why...and the audiences go along with it. As I mentioned before, why are some criticizing Umera for bringing Falak back to Salman..yet people loved Khirad going back to Asher through Farhat's writing? why? merely because they got their daily dosage of Fawad? romance btwn Khirad & Asher?

Viewers are to blame themselves here also..they appreciate stuff like this half the time...
