Oh obviously! They have clearly watched far more intimate romance on desi television and have loved it. This holier-than-thou attitude looks so fake after all that.
It's like they are making the actors look bad for doing such scenes, which is another disservice to their hard work and all the boundaries they might have respected to give the audience these scenes.
Nuanced discussion would be a far fetched expectation. They need to let go of their uber conservative attitude when they are sitting down opening review channels and speak like intellectuals. Also, they need to respect their actors, who must have let go off certain inhibitions to perform these romantic scenes in a room full of people. They are just doing their job.
I am getting this feeling that some or the other controversy can pop up if they keep talking about the show in this sense.
Oscars are coming up. Tale as old as time discussions, an comedian will never win an Oscar for a comedy role and a romantic movie will never win best picture. Because romance and comedy is looked down upon compared to drama and action.
Meryl Streep and Tom hanks have said that doing romance and comedy is much harder than doing pure drama, it doesn’t look it onscreen so doesn’t get appreciated. A human primal instinct is to get angry first it comes easy, but to love is harder it involves breaking barriers.
If yumna is Meryl Streep of pak tv, doing those angsty, angry, yelling scenes of meerab are walk in the park for someone of her acting calibre. I bet doing the romantic scenes was much harder, she would have to go beyond herself, and making them look realistic that is the challenge. Showing one is in love is infinitely harder, than being angry. She has to make the audience believe there is a character called meerab in love with a character called murtasim. All these uncomfortable talks mean you are looking at wahaj and yumna not the characters, either they didn’t their job well or you are prejudiced.
