Concept

Recently, I have not been very happy with the CV'S lately. This is because, I am disliking the way CV'S are portraying Muslims in the show. They are as if, comparing Hindus and Muslims. This is because they are showing that Nafeesa is a very heinous person who has an evil intention and she is a Muslim whereas, Payal is a very intelligent, noble person (she is starting to reform) but she is a Hindu. Also, another example is Pankhuri and Ayesha. Pankhuri is a very caring, simple, kind hearted girl who loves and cares for everyone. She is a Hindu. Ayesha, on the other hand, is very loud, absolutely opposite to Pankhuri in comparison. And she is a Muslim. Now, don't get me wrong because many Hindu's I am sure are very good people. But so are Muslims. Society always show Muslims to be wrong, to be horrid people. They always belittle Muslims. But Muslims are not horrendous people. I don't like what the CV'S are attempting to convey to the audience. CV'S are trying to convey to the audience that Muslims are sly people. This is setting a horrible example to us. I, myself am a Muslim, and I cannot tolerate when somebody insults Islam or illustrates Muslims to be terrible people. Whenever something wrong happens, society points out that Muslims are at fault. We do know that Nafeesa and Nilofer are meant to be the antagonists of the show, but why are they portraying Muslims to be bad?

I agree to you but my reasoning is slightly different. Personally I feel almost every daily show on air these days which portrays Muslims is portraying them wrongly...most Muslim girls are shown to be of very loose character and boys aren't much different. Nafisa is shown being touchy and feely with another woman's husband...she kept touching him...even Ayesha has no problem touching anyone...it's not supposed to be like this...there's no modesty...what was the use of wearing a veil and all in Lucknow only to take it off in Mumbai??? I challenge these CVs to show a truly devout Muslim girl with a hijab and all...I guess she won't be Bollywood enough for them.

good post

We can't distinguish people as good n bad according to the religion..

I personally don't know much about Islamic culture. The little I do know about day to day Muslims I have learned from shows like Qubool Hain, which I am sure is not totally realistic.

Well Agree with You...😃 I knw so many soaps.. which portrays Islam relegion wrongly... They r Showng lyk 1.D grl who s alwaz bak bak 😆 2. D grl who s a foodie...😆 3. N IN Islam d most important thing is Hijab... its much essential n importabt for grlz who live in diz modern society... aysha.. nafisa.. ruksaar.. diz ppls wear hijab in lucknow..bt nt in mumbai😕 n Ayesha has recently wear hijab only fr visiting masgid or Darha😕 y didnt she wear hijab fr her internship in arif's offc?😲 n Many of d pplz doesnt knw abt islam... so cv's must Shown d basic islamic principles whch s simple n convinient..😃

I agree. I m also a Muslim nd i think they r portaying muslims in a bad way.

I agree on principle that showing people of a certain culture or religion in a bad or biased light is not a good thing. But I don't think in the case of PKD they have been trying to insult any religion. I agree with Purva above that even Rubel and Kaira were initially shown as spoiled and with little respect for elders. They lived away from home for a for a long time, so didn't have the same family values that girls like Pankuri had. This is not coz they lived overseas.(I live overseas too, and I have family values). But it was because they were never taught what to value!!

In this case Niloufer has not succeeded in imparting to her daughters what is important. Yes they seem like nice enough girls, but Ayesha never listens to her mother. She is difiant. But she has a good heart. Nafeesa is jealous in nature and cunning. What she is doing with Rubel is disgusting. She is conspiring to break up a marriage. But at the same time, we are shown that the REASON that she is succeeding in manipulating them is actually the fault of Rubel and Payal. They both have too much ego and anger. Payal is by no means perfect. She drinks and she parties too much. She even had an abortion? How does that make her a perfect Hindu girl?

So I don't think this is about religion at all. This is about people. I think they made the family Muslim to make Ayesha different in every possible way to Pankuri. Also, initially it was easy to hide her coz she was wearing the Burka. Non of that would be possible if she was Hindu.

P.S. I am not Hindu or Muslim and I am not even Indian. So my opinion is totally unbiased!

As a Muslim I feel they have made Muslims look like a joke. It's not just the girls, but even Ghalib looks like a total loser and he's supposed to be Muslim, I recon Arif is supposed to be Muslim too and he and his mother also seemt o be very cunning.

And yes, Qubool Hai is abt the worst show to learn about Islam from. Shame on its makers.
