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
