Arre I stopped watching long ago… the story and writing was always too OTT and I could not connect with them…but I watched for Wahaj and Yumna who I love and had a good time roasting the episodes and it was fun. It was when people started taking it too seriously that I was like…yaar this show doesn’t deserve so much seriousness. Like I said I made the mistake of saying how can we continue to watch this show after knowing they wanted to show marital rape… I am the fool 🤣
I know right!! That's whyI have stopped discussing and watching shows while they are on air. I mostly binge watch them and skip useless scenes. PTV toh still is fine as the dramas have finite episodes, I have been in ITV fandom and the situation there is worse, fans start bullying you if you say anything against their characters, it sucks and you start losing interest even in the show you might have enjoyed. 😆
Now, talking about MR in TB, well, it's pretty clear that it was there in TB originally and writer too confirmed it which they changed according to backlash with that cringe voiceover. The thing is when makers cast two good looking popular actors with a baseless story just to attract audience on the basis of chemistry, they will show every kind of toxic romance and give it the name of passionate romance. Audience will watch it because they would their favourite leads to end up together, no matter whether their relationship is worst kind of. Problem isn't that they are showing MR in dramas, problem starts when you justify and normalise it in the name of calling your leads 'flawed humans'. It has been a pattern in ITV which is filled with toxic male leads and doormat female leads and TB is no less than an ITV drama at present..😆
Last but not the least, off course, it is a fiction and one shouldn't take it seriously but then 'possessive' TB fans too shouldn't take any comments against their characters and story seriously and personally attack people for a mere fiction show and characters.. People have all the right to say something which they find problematic in the drama. And it's really disgusting of writer to include MR in original track and even normalise it in the name of romance..Even without MR, Meerub and Murtasim relationship was highly problematic and shouldn't be glorified by any means.
