The answer to that question is a big fat 'No.' As far as what we've been shown in the story, I don't have any faith in the creatives to show the backdrop they utilized in the right manner anymore. They def can show Zoya praying to God to get strength to show Asad the truth about Tannu- but we don't even get some nice moments like that either. And please someone tell the creatives the dargah is not the OFFICIAL place for Muslims to pray. I'm sure India has mosques, don't they? I've really lost faith in the PH/creatives to show their backdrop in a positive light.

I'm not asking the show to be religious. But sometimes small things like these make all the difference in making your show more authentic to the audience rather than feeding them with information on 'mini skirts' and 'dargah shareefs'

This same PH has shown numerable amounts of pooja's in their previous shows...so why can't they show some realistic stuff to the audience? It's not like they haven't done it in the past, all they need to do is research. If you've taken up the trouble of having a Muslim BG, then research is the key. I'm not saying the show should be full of a full 20 minutes of nothing but religion. But utilize the religion in the show for a minute or two would be really nice too.



You just know how to put my thoughts in words like you can read my mind. I swear I couldn't have summed it up better than you did. So agreed to each and every point of yours. Word.

Honestly, I am keeping very minimal expectations if at all they decide to showcase the importance of Ramzan. I don't expect them to show characters pray 5 times a day, show tarweeh prayers, show them doing sehri and iftar, etc. I think they can still be authentic and probably do their bit given the backdrop they chose by simply doing the following things :

- Have them discuss the preparation for Raman, bit of discussion here and there about anything related like giving Zakat to the poor, may be.

- Even if they show characters praying at least once 2 weeks, I think it'd be fine.

- Show them getting for sehri together or breaking fast at iftar time, once in a while. Don't even have to show it on a daily basis.

- Okay, people are divided on the Dargah-Mosque view, but it is known to all that Mosque is the official place for prayers, right? So, lets even consider they aren't allowed to shoot inside Mosque for reasons, then they could easily show characters just heading towards Mosque for prayers. Could be Asad, Ayaan, Rashid, anyone. If they realize, these things can provide them a lot of space for potential scenes/drama pertaining to the story line.

- It is not necessary that one can pray only while sitting on Janimaz/prayer mat, they can easily show characters just lifting their hands to make a dua asking God to help them in testing times.

- Probably iftar parties as well, ( again gives them scope for family drama) and finally, at the end show Eid celebrations.

^^ All that once in a while, here and there. Isn't so difficult. Is it?

I'm not a muslim so I wasn't really aware about all such things but reading all this makes me sad that how such tiny nuances could have been added to the story for the betterment. When I heard KSG say that the show's USP is it being a Muslim social I was certain that the show would have many such eye opening moments for people like me who are unaware about muslim traditions and practices..Sadly they aren't showing any such thing..As I said the only thing muslim about the show is their names and rest all is usual drama.
If they show all this, I would be very very happy since it'll make the tale more authentic and would make me finally like 4 lions...I hope 4lions read this and shout "Challenge accepted" *Barney style*😆

I don't like the statement "true Muslim's don't live like that' a number of them do, and the family did look like a liberal Muslim family up to a point. They messed up when Asad slapped Zoya, had her wear jeans with her shirt tucked in and then having her parade in a mini skirt and not even consider it a controversial item, was highly ignorant. It's kind of like a Hindu girl going on about how it is perfectly fine to eat beef - nothing wrong in eating beef and some Hindus I know do, but it does not sit well with many.

I would really appreciate if these statements were not put here and that we focus on the poor job this show has done in showcasing Muslims and aspects of their faith/cultural practices.
