Please spare us Nazia's moralizing

Who is Nazia to go on about ghalat and all to Shazia? Does Aahil come home every night? Does she give moralizing lectures to Aahil? Why only to Shazia? Granted, I do agree on one thing. Aahil is the breadwinner (though...if Shazia is also the Nawab's daughter, that means she should be entitled to some of the initial inheritance as well). And being that provides for them, Shazia should be accountable on informing the family if she's not going to be home at night. That part I do agree.

However, that really not how yesterday's episode came off. It came off as a blatant double standard, and one which Nazia the good-two-shoes sister has no problem in perpetuating, by lecturing, moralizing and then threatening to snitch. But okay, even that is fine. What bothers me even more is that along with Nazia's words and actions, the way the story goes it seems as though the narrative is also upholding Nazia's viewpoint--making Shazia the irresponsible, selfish sister and Nazia the victim. Yes, Shazia's actions with the pills were wrong, even if accidental, she's still the one at fault and she was wrong in trying to even put an extra pill in the water. But by making her the wrong character, it upholds the stereotype and double standards.

Do not validate the double standards and stereotypes through the narrative, please. Next thing will be that something bad will happen at the party, and so once again the goody-two-shoes, mousey Nazia was right, and so was Aahil's double standards; and Shazia the one who once called out the double standards is wrong.

Till yesterday, I was impressed at the lack of such annoying moralizing on the show. Sanam as a character does and did have issues with Aahil. She has talked about it and has had dialogues. But it never came off in such an unsettling way. Whereas yesterday, I really felt like the narrative itself was on its way to start moralizing as well having double standards.
