Gosh, i'm soo sorry for interfering, never should've done it i guess.

My humblest apologies 😔

I'm mystery girl 2 yaar, no one knows mine either 😎 :p

Lol, sadly there are a LOT of poor people in India :(
By poor i not only mean people below the poverty line, even people who just manage to get by :(
Or other people who don't have anyone to teach them :(

Hahaha, that got me thinking :p
If you're looking for a serious answer, then log kaha padhne ki koshish bhi karte hai, they recognize the logo and that's all they need for ZeeTv
For QH they recognize the faces and banner. You also have timings and all. (Like they know that at 9:30 qubool hai comes )

Otherwise, kee farak painda (slang for "What difference does it make" ) Still 2nd in TRPs 😎 ( Honestly, i doubt those many illiterate/reeeally rural people watch the show, I pointed out the English thing just for the sake of discussion, not because i thought it mattered :P )

Which country are you from? 😊


Mystery girl remember? 🤣 So no one knows the country 😆 All they know is that is not India 😆 And yeah these people probably dont watch the show and this discussion was completely irrelevant to the actual discussion anyway so discussion over 😆

Ummm, what amazes me is that you'd actually think that a "difference in culture" is the basis of this otherwise very healthy discussion. I'm sure that many people belonging to the "same culture" on this very post might have had varied opinions. I believe it's very unfair on your part to drag cultures, or accuse someone of being so petty or biased

wah ... Hold on! I did not accuse anyone. It was simply an observation. Who am I to accuse anyone? What I said was my observation. It could be true or not. An individual's opinion is always based on reasons, isn't it? What I said could be blamed on that - IF, capital, what I said got weight.
There are always people with different opinions, and i'm assuming that you as a topic maker would be open to those. But by saying something like "Instead of changing the fact - not changing but at least, agreeing ... acceptig. Thinking, Haan Yaar, whatever the case, this is wrong. Urdu speakers at least should learn how to write Urdu ... Should show the culture how it's suppose to be
But People are busy giving excuses and defending it instead"

you're actually saying that what you said has to be true, and anyone who disagrees is by default wrong. Excuses? Defending? It's a discussion, that's what people are doing, discussing. The use of the words "Excuse" and "Defend" very wrongly implies that something wrong is being done. All these people are really guilty of is putting forth their views.

Sorry, i know it's a rude post, but the tone of yours kinda upset me as a reader, no prejudice, i didn't even know/remember that you were from some other country. Insults my intellect as a reader/commenter...Us mere mortals too are capable of being unbiased/having opinions/ Being right



Rest will comment later on. Too complicated on phone .. Sorry.

I have been watching the show on and off ... After watching today's episode was wondering, does not India-Muslims know how to write Urdu?

My question is to CVs, if you wanted to make a show based on Muslim families - Urdu speaking families ... At least, should have done your homework properly. Or what was the point of creating the show in the first place?
I understand majority of people living in India does not know how to read Urdu. Understandable. It's not a Urdu speaking country, but then again, people living in Pak or non-Indians who watch Indian shows do not know how to read Hindi either. Kam Chala Hi Letein Hain.
When Asad was already narrating the message, was that message being in Hindi really necessary? This show is so bloody unrealistic. I think, this show is only on top due to popularity of actors and romance. Other than that, the show is a joke, no offence. Especially to people who relate to this culture.
At least, could have written in Roman English. Asad message should have been this way. Not that hard:

or

(Umeed Hai Aap Is Baar Saree Ki Kurti Nahin Banaengi. Shaam 8 Baje Backyard Mein Isse Peh Ker).

Its not a big deal. Even I or for that matter people in my family speak Urdu but cannot read or write in it. We can speak Urdu simply because it has been spoken in our household and amongst family members and relatives. Besides, we also hear all the religious discourses in Urdu only. I have studied in English medium but have good knowledge of Urdu as well as Hindi. As matter of fact I know (speaking, reading and writing) Hindi better than Urdu. The language mostly used in Serials or Hindi movies is neither Urdu nor Hindi, it is known as Hindustani which is easily understood by both sets of people (Hindi knowing as well as Urdu knowing). People living outisde India, and who are well versed in Urdu, might also know that not many people in India are able to read and write in Urdu. Well thing is we do write in Urdu, even I do, but the script is Devnagri and not Arabic. While Indian Urdu is plain vanilla type easy to understand, in Pakistan it is highly Persianised and Arabicised.

One thing I am amused about is people saying that Urdu is symbolic of being Muslim. I think the Arabic countries...or you know, India's neighbour, Bangladesh, would object to that.

In Bangaldeshi shows, Muslims are shown to be reading Bangla...I mean, being a Muslim is different to what language you know.

To read the Quran, you need to know Arabic...so we can argue here that Asad should actually have written that note in Arabic. I mean, anything can be argued really.

While yes, you wanted to see Urdu because you believe that that was more correct than showing Hindi but it doesn't mean that it was wrong.

Geez, it's a discussion, no one's arguing or bickering, we're discussing our POVs, and if it is getting so annoying, stop reading? You have a gazillion other threads, why bother reading this one?
