I haven't seen any episodes of the show cos I found the entire promo rather distasteful. I couldn't agree more with what you have said. It is psychotic to do what Barun's character is doing and to have the woman fall in love with him, or rather remain in love with him after the truth comes out, is self inflicted masochism.


But Gul excels in that, doesn't it? Just because IPKKND was so popular lets not forget that ASR behaved abominably with Khushi both before and after marriage. And I remember Gul's interviews that she is showing this extreme behavior because then his repentance would be great. Bull shit! ASR never really showed any remorse or suffered in repentance save for one stupid scene in the night where he comes to Khushi's house and doesn't even apologize properly and Khushi happily forgives him.


All of Gul's stories have the man misbehaving with the woman, treating her very badly and the woman waiting to fall in the man's arms and forgive and forget. It makes me wonder, how her mind works and whether its her beliefs that get translated onto the screen. And in this show, she has taken the torture to a new level!!


The hero is not content with screaming, shouting, insulting, shoving and pushing , now he gets to burn the woman as well. Well done Gul! You do find new ways of redefining how a woman deserves to be treated and how she should react to that!


And as for the show being fiction, it is surprising how many people get influenced by what is shown in the movies and pattern their behavior on that. Enough road side romeos who have been apprehended have mentioned that if the hero can do that why can't they? An Indian pervert in Australia was let go for following and harassing a woman because his lawyer argued that his mind and judgement was colored by Hindi movies where this was shown all the time! Sick!


So real life does get influenced by reel life, and I agree that the film/ show makers have a social responsibility


Definitely, but then we all had field days criticizing ASR's character and rightly so. The influence of these shows is what's troubling me. The number of posts commenting on his sinful, sexy mouth uttering those appealing words to a woman disrobed, is horrifying. Undoubtedly most are teenage girls without much clue of what are the real implications of such sexual predator behavior. For them, if Barun said so, anything is hot and happening.

Which is why Barun and the rest of the production team needs to be mindeful when showing questionable content on TV. They have a social responsibility to shoulder and not just spew shit for the sake of raking money. Or give this an R certificate so people are prepared for what they watch and parental consultation is administered (highly doubt this would work in India tho). If in US or Canada, this would definitely have gotten an R certificate and not be on prime time TV. In the first episode it self, they showed stabbing burning alive, molestation and torture within the span of like 10 minutes. Anyway I digress.

I read that UK had a few cases of acid attacks recently and tell me this regressive mindset has not perpetrated (all on Desi people) even to the west.

Agree with you. It is a sexual predator being passed off as a hero... And it seems to be wrong at so many levels. Even in fiction, rape ir threats of assault and violence cannot pass off as romance.

i support u...be it film or television...they play a major role in developing mindset of people..even though its only fiction, the stars are the idols of people...atleast for many..things like stalking the heroine,terrorising her with his self proffesed love and instead of calling police or atleast run for ur life..she starts falling for the so called gravity of his love..i have always wondered what stupidity is this...these things do make some idiots believe they are some sort of heroes and though cheap and violent,they are ok to do it because they are in love...really...ipkknd showing advay causing fire on female leads dupatta and as a hero putting it out...one thing is right..barun did say advay is evil to chandini..yea definitely this is evil..but rather than hero advay is just being a villain..whatever tragedy might be his past..he has no right for this if he is a sane person...

I am absolutely fine with Gul and her creatives using the same title for the new show, same back ground music, same male lead... She has given her reasons and it seemed fair but how is it creative and new by copying the same exact scene( and a very popular one) from the previous season and using it with the new FL!! They only had the male lead utter an outrageous and moronic dialogue all in the name of "different" and "new" 😲 I am disappointed :( This is being lazy and trying to cash in on whats been very popular in the previous season.
