I feel our society is just hypocritical. I bet most women while watching Kiran know she's right but just can not admit to it because it's not the norm for women to stand up this way. Another thing is that women get confused between love and respect which is what Umera is trying to pinpoint and unfortunately many aren't understanding.
I see so many people especially women (sadly) arguing - well he loves her! Love isn't everything..and moreover, you may love someone but that doesn't necessarily mean you're meant to be together nor that your fit to spend the rest of your lives together. People tend to forget that in our society, self respect is as important, in fact more important than love. And, that is EXACTLY what Kiran is trying to get at. She may always love Sikandar, and Sikandar may always love her..and that love may not fade so easily BUT that doesn't mean Kiran is obligated to be with Sikandar for the rest of her life REGARDLESS. If there's no self respect, you're basically not living with your head held up high and that's no way to live. Sadly, a lot of women don't see it in that way. They try coming up with excuses to save their homes forgetting about themselves in between completely.
Once a man gets used to hitting/beating his wife, that becomes habitual and as Kiran put - his "fitrat"..you can fix mistakes, but changing one's nature is very hard to do. It's so refreshing to see a character like Kiran where you can completely root for her. These same people complaining about Kiran also complain about other female characters that end up going back to square one. As I said, I feel with those kind of characters they can see themselves..with Kiran kind of characters many hardly can because that's not the norm..though I'm sure every woman in the back of mind knows what Kiran did is exactly what a woman should do..it's just a matter of admitting it.
