Hate on Ruq - A Perception
Hi Friends,
First of all this is in no way an analysis of character of ruq or what prompts her to do. This is just a perception on what could be the reason for this overwhelming disgust on a character in ja serial.
Villains are not new to ja .In fact villains rule ja. We have even seen an epic saga of villain in form of maham..The chilling demeanor with which maham killed jalal's unbord child and yet went scot free and compared with that ruq has not done anything to that level legally if not ethically. Yet the level of disgust we feel for ruq even exceeds that of maham.
Is it because her character is not consistent or say well defined?
Though this could be a reason as her character was never shaped to be a true villain nor a person of respect, I couldn't see it as the most important factor. Her character from the beginning has all shades of grey and we were aware that in due course she could be either be redeemed or changed to villain to fit in according to the story and in those initial days even during Benazir track when jo was made to stand outside her hojra for the whole night the dedication and loyalty shown by jo always preceded the contempt for ruq and she never invoked any feelings.
Is it because we couldn't accept polygamy?
The storyline is set on a polygamous setup, though personally I couldn't understand this polygamy being shown.as far I had read or even heard where it is practiced it's always a norm that the first wife respects and treats others as sisters. Since the character has been setup as grey we couldn't expect respect or fairness, but my expectation was at least minimum etiquette to be followed like respecting each other's privacy .Not only in polygamy, in polyandry too when private moments are shared the other husband or wife never enters the space. And I couldn't deny the fact this intrusion of privacy was disgusting to me personally.
Another important reason I see for the disgust is when the other villains have been in some way instrumental to bring in ja closer, she is the one who intruded in most important moments of ja life .Ultimately the journey is only of ja and so we wish to see these moments in an unintrusive way.
The ruq tent scene on kajal badri track, their beautiful reunion when they first acknowledge their feeling for each other with that first hug we get camera zooming on ruqs face and we got to see all her reactions when it should have truly only be their private moments and just about them. Not to mention the disastrous ruq fake preg track when we got endure all her screeching, planning etc .. In all that the most disgusting was after sr there was not one single moment that doesn't end with ruqs interruption in some form and there were times when ja scene starts, I was only expecting when will the interruption come and made all those scenes bland. And even after all that ruq went scot free which is also not new to ja as maham has been like that for so long and she could have even become tolerable if her relationship had been maintained in the way when she spoke to jalal in mirchi track.But alas we get again her this time in the most precious moment the decalartion of jalal being a father. We expected to see a pure blissful moment with each other sharing their happiness. Instead it was ruq who informed him. To complete this disgust is the child sharing. A child is a sensitive issue to all of us and a love between a mother and a child is always so selfless and considered most precious and to make it as a business deal is the most disgusting act of her and have forever put her in the most hated of the villains list.
