One of the reasons I believe why MR happened is NM.
- She has written an out and out feudal lord character.
- She feels that if a character does battameezi the character can get slapped and the example she gave was if Murtasim misbehaves then MB can slap him. I was actually expecting her to say that Meerab can slap him. And she said that if she wrote Meerab slapping Murtasim then people would throw stones at her house. I came to a conclusion that for her a woman slapping a man is a big deal.
- Her including the slap and spit scene just before filming of the scene was to make sure that the action of Murtasim was understandable to the viewers because she thinks slapping a man by a woman is a big deal and slapping a woman by a man is not that of a big deal.
- And her explanation for MR might be that it happens in reality.
