Problems I have with the premise of the story - Page 5

So I have followed the news tit bits and commercials for this show and was wondering what sort of social message Gul Khan is trying to portray from this story. On one hand there shows a man, the potential hero or the main lead of the story, burning the female lead's clothing in a temple and at the last minute saving her from getting burnt. There shows another situation when a burning effigy is about to fall on the girl all planed by the main lead. She is again saved at the nick of time by the perpetrator himself. Why he does it, in an idiomatic sense, is to take revenge from her and her family for something that happened 16 years ago. On the other hand, it's quite obvious that he is going to fall in love with the girl and then walk in to the sunset after resolving all their misunderstandings'.

Now whatever the motive is behind these heinous acts on the girl, is it morally right to show such acts on a television show and then get away with it by eventually making the leads fall in love? We hear so many horror stories on a day today basis where the women are burnt alive/ thrown acid because the men think that is the way for revenge and the girl deserves what she got.

In such a world, is this the right sort of social message for the young generation to see? Even if he was planning all of this, and never wanted the girl to actually get burnt and was merely a way of gaining her trust, should this girl show/develop (oh horror) any sort of feelings for a man who showed borderline psychotic behavior?

Should the girl fall in love with such a man who has previously tried to kill her/ mutilate her solely for the reason he has a dark past and was operating under a misunderstanding'. Keep aside any back story, should a woman fall in love with such a man who would resort to taking revenge in such a manner? Does any woman deserve to be with a man who thought it was right to execute such deranged plans, that too without even consulting what exactly happened 16 years ago, because I'm pretty sure a child could not have committed whatever the crime he is taking revenge on? And if he is deluded enough to take revenge on a hapless girl for something her family did, lord have mercy on the woman who will have to spend the rest of her life with a man who has a mentality like this.

I feel this is not much different from a rape victim later falls in love with the rapist as shown in some much beloved old TV shows (again, oh horror, I feel for the humanity).

So tell, me in all honesty, your thoughts on the premise of the story.

Thank you, thank you for writing this post! Completely agree with your views. Much to our dismay instead of loathing and walking away from such a man, in yesterday's precap they showed Chandani walking away quietly with him even though he threw the lighter that burnt her dupatta (could have burnt her also had she not removed it in the nick of time) right in front of her eyes.

Advay should honestly be in jail or should be taking counselling because he's definitely not sane.

All i know the story line for the previous season was intense but not hazardous and so damn extreme. I still cannot get' baba ko mar dia maa ko jala dia " out of my head and then a girl being chased, getting caught and being soaked and yet again everybody is sympathizing with male lead only. A guy burns your dupatta and you have to drop it down in front of him just to hear a sexual remark that you look more beautiful without dupatta and then you fall for the same guy ? Then you are a classical case of disgrace yourself.And on the top the audiences here have their hormones elevated by this extreme disrespect.
