If a man has that trait, then it is his problem. He has to learn to manage it and he should not be justified for that trait at any point.
What Samay asked Maya was wrong and he would have done it even if Maya had gone in salwar kameez or a burqa. That's the man's attitude.
And what Maya did to Samay after getting the power was also wrong. So it is just about a man and a woman who decided to play with each other and it has nothing to do with Maya's dressing.
But anyways it is personal attitude and I dont want to get into an argument. People are free to keep their views
very true. Dress code is personal choice and no man has the right to touch a girl even if she was wearing a skimpy dress. Period.
But in this serial, the so called victim (Maya) repeatedly sought Samay for favours. Let's assume she was raped by Samay when she went to him the first time asking for favours. A lawyer would argue it in many ways. The victim was given options. Samay did tell her that he wants something in return. Which was, either sleep with him to get her business back so that she could get back at her father or choose to walk out. I have not see him forcing himself on her. She was free to walk out. I did not see him forcing himself on her neither did she accuse him of rape. She was okay with it because she got in return what she wanted.
One thing to think here is would a rape victim repeatedly go to the perpetrator asking for favours? Would any victim do it?
Later, we are shown that Maya used him for her personal vendetta. From the beginning she has been using Samay. He was a pawn, a tool in her hands. All along she promised to love him and even made gestures to support the same.
Which rape victim would go after the perpetrator asking him to do another act of rape?
So where is the crime committed? Is she truly a victim? What are we arguing about Rape being a horrible act. The whole topic of Rape is another subject. Yes it is wrong, vile and despicable. No one should undergo such an experience. No one is condoning it.
All we are discussing is the circumstances shown in the serial. These are two separate topics.
