I agree that meerab said hurtful words to murtasim.Episode 5
The world famous slap scene
Murtasim was so angry when he came in front of Meerub, he tried to stop her but Meerub pushed him, he told her to not go anywhere but she said Mai Jaaungi or Tumhare mein par thappad Maar kar jaaungi, then she pushed him for 4 times, calls him Baghairat and told him men like him are those prefers to hide behind a woman and then Murtu slapped her.
This was the background and don’t come after me as I am not going to justify the situation but just for a second place Murtasim in Meerub’s place, if it was him who have called her a characterless and be physical with her by pushing her with so much force, what would have been her reaction??
Why are we so hypocritical in the name of feminism?? Just reversed the situation and you all would find what’s wrong in Meerub’s action? One would call out a man if he pushes a women so hard that there are chances she would fall on the floor, and then he is calling her characterless then everyone is going to cry it is abuse, and if in this case that woman would slap her abuser we are going to be so so happy??
Other than this scenes, the episode is filled with guilt and pain only, Anwar is guilty for giving Meerub up, Murtasim is guilty for slapping her, Meerub and WA are feeling pain on their loss.
But what I don't understand is why did murtasim try to stop her? It's not like he was trying to stop her for her sake or anything. It looked like he was stopping her only for ego sake.
And he ORDERED her to stop. Meerab who was going through mental trauma directed all her anger towards him.
Meerab bruised his ego badly by saying things like coward. So he reacted.
But still the way he reacted is wrong. Him ordering her to stop is the root cause of all in that scene.
I can't say pushing is equal to slapping. Because murtasim also drags her whenever he wants. They both equally push, drag each other. So slap is different thing.
