Here she led him on and then used him to her gains (taking her friend out during shaadi days) .. (which was clearly shown by being warned/stopped by rida & bhabhi ..) ab aise mein ladka yeh maan baitha ki usse mujhse mohabbat hai to usme uski galati nahi .. haan magar us bharam mein uss ladki ka nuksan karvana galat hai .. us ladki ko guilty feel karvana nahi ..
Unfortunately, the writer-editor team showed a very sexist/ek-tarafa pov, that too from ML pov, making it look like that whatever he is doing is justified ..
And very true: Had Farhad been Mir Hadi, the girl definitely must say 'no' and that was clearly shown in Khaani ..
Unfortunately most of showbiz industry is a very patriarchal industry where what man does is fine and woman does is wrong !!
Khair yahan to dono hi leads flawed characters hai, which viewers cannot accept - either they accept all black or all white, but not grey/in-between.. and W/E team didnt leave any stone unturned to mess up the show 😒
Thx dear for all the replies..what's most important is, jo galat hai hum usko galat kahein, instead of justifying it , victim shaming is wrong.... its like saying why do girls venture out at nights , why do girls wear such clothes ...we r defending rapists/molesters here....ur so right, its a patriarchal mindset ..I hope in this drama they show how wrong Farhad was...
Agree with everything you said except the bolded part..mahi.led.him.on but how ? Did she tell him she loved him, did she do pyar ka natak which led him to believe there is love between them? Imo nothing for which his friends started calling Mahi their "bhabhi"🤢
dosti aur pyar mein farq hota hai , unless we r talking of 60 yrs bk when girls were not bold enuf to befriend a boy...that was the time when girls were called charactrless if they were seen with a boy..thy showed such an equation in kam 2 and kam1 also I think.. so it's acceptable.. theek hai..if a girl thinks her fathers izzat is ruined if she is seen with a boy it's ok , that's her values..but Mahi aisi nai thi..inspite of belonging to a pardanasheen family, wo khul ke ladke se baat bhi kar rahi thi and kaam.bhi nikala. That's what makes me believe that if she loved Farhad she would be rebellious .She wouldn't reject him under any pressure.
I know Mahi admitted that she led him on, n I said it earlier that this might be a cultural thing..how societies function in paki, I can know only through the dramas or the reaction of people . there were loads and loads of criticism against Farhad, and not Mahi...
