Trading and selling of a woman as a SLAVE.

Zoya was basically a slave ...standing in the slave market being sold and bought by men who believes that woman are a commodity. It was a pathetic display of barbarism.
I have never liked Asad as a character...infact, this is one character I very much dislike because has repeatedly abused Zoya physically and mentally. But down the road it made me see him in a different light...I thought that the separation and the Ajmer track made him realize Zoya's place in his life and he would put her first above everything...but it didn't happen ...did it . I despise men like Asad...just hate such men.

What did he do instead...the first chance he got to protect her ...he throws her away as a garbage...yes, he sold her as if she were his commodity to save his very self pitying half sister..a woman who keeps on trying to commit suicide because she is not being able to get married...what a pathetic existence and mentality Nikhat has ...a worthless life and existence whose only goal is to get married...go get a life and a job woman.

I work with women who have come out of horrific life situations...who have been raped and battered...who have been scarred for life...but they still didn't give up. What excuse does Nikhat has? Doesn't she has a doting family...at her beck and call...anyways this post is not about someone as insignificant of a person like Nikhat but is about a serious issue about selling a woman as if she were a commodity.

Gul khan...you do understand that after Zoya has been sold off by her master Asad...to his half brother Ayaan...there cannot be a Asya anymore because after this horrendous display of slavery any decent self respected woman would ever take back the same man who sold her in the first place. You have successfully closed down Asya.

Hey Priyanka
...sick drama annoys me no end..more than that, dishonest storytelling gets to me...from Day 1, the original synopsis could not be marketed...it was too vague and marriage centric...

I guess Gul decided or was given a chance at dishing some part of it like this by the channel coz it got them to the top after years...and man did it backfire and how!!!

Not only did they lose their position...they lost the honesty and simplicity also...

As far as Zoya being traded or being treated as a thing is concerned..I don't think there is anything knew in that...

Gul has made the biggest marketing blunder ever...brand killing

Hi Shruti, the problem is they never marketed the original storyline in a proper way...honestly, I never had a problem with zoyaan if they would have depicted in a proper way...Yes, life is unpredictable...things happen in life which we are not ready for and yes people are not moral centric all the time. But, this is just unacceptable what they have shown...a woman used as a commodity...literally being sold...this is insulting and demeaning. How could Gul even think of showing such a regressive material when India is under the world scrutiny about the treatment and safety of women?
But, I will do my part as someone who feels strongly about this...we have filed a complaint in to BCCA about women being shown as a commodity. It's all I can do.

I appreciate your effort dear..but there is shit if not much worse than QH...on a similar level...it's all the same on Indian telly..I'd say don't waste your time on this...I am an Indian citizen and I can tell u where the leaders talk crap...no inconsequential serial like QH can make a difference..yeh yahan roz ka hai aur sach mein hota hai

well said.

this track has been very disturbing so far.
with this Gul has taken hindi daily soap to a new low in being regressive !!!! 🥱

and worst part is the way they portraying their female lead now. hard to digest that educated and new york returned girl is not speaking and standing up for herself. she is capable of taking herself out of this mess but has been dumbed down!!!

and i will hate if they show zoya returning to asad after all this, having no self respect !!!!
🤢

Trading and selling of woman is really small word to what it is played out

Will asad do the same if something like this would have happened to najma

Ayan blackmailing asad asad zoya
Once everything is over I am sure razia and all other will start taunting zoya and make her life hell
Annoying saas bahu on the way

Well done zee and gul

Even ekta is better there is no trading in her tv shows

Absolutely agree with you 100%
Just the other day someone had posted "be happy guys! Ayaan will return Zoya to Asad" I was so horrified!!! what do people mean by 'return' what is she? a shirt that he borrowed and returned when he is done! it was outrageous!
I am surprised that we, in this forum are more concerned about Asad and Zoya not getting together than the bartering that is going on in the show. Horrifying!
