You're right as you grow older and mature you realize different things and your priorities change. High school is so unrealistic. As I changed as a person I did realize that my parents did have some valid points and it was points that they were making up they were things that were in Islam. They were teaching me to go in my religions path. I got so detached with my culture/religion because I moved at a young age and I totally adapted to my new surroundings. There's still things about my parents that are old fashioned but I have become more open minded. People learn on their own you can't force your opinions on others it doesn't work.So far the stereotypes they have shown have NOTHING to do with Islam or being a muslim it can happen in any household. I want to know is what makes this show any different from any other Indian show.I would have loved to see such a track because I know a lot could relate and it seems more realistic, but they can still do this kind of story that even living in the same place you can get detached.NOPE. I can not relate to anything in this show and I may be speaking on behalf of quite some people.Zoya: How she is dressed wouldn't be allowed NOT because she's wearing jeans and shirts any kind of clothing is allowed in Islam It just has to be worn modestly. The way she's worn it her behind being shown that is not allowed. I like her storyline where somewhat she's struggling with her NY ways and her homeland ways BUT her character and storyline isan't so strong.Ayaan/Humaria: Whatever there doing is NOT allowed. It's okay as kids but when you grow up like that the elders will tell you to keep a distance because you're grown now.Niqab where you cover your mouth or face isn't mandatory but hijab covering up the head is. They could show conflict with that.There's a lot of problems. I'm confused with the storyline. Is it religious? Is about Muslim culture? Is about a love triangle?4lions may have the best couples, scenes, or music BUT storyline wise they need to work on that. It's not just with QH all there shows are amazing because there not saas-bahu but no real script.
I totally agree with you! As I grew older I was able to better understand some of the things that I was not able to understand before. Frankly, I am glad that they posed some of the restrictions they did while I was growing up because my friends whose parents did not care and let them do what ever they wanted are now drop outs and trying to find a way to survive on their own.
I absolutely agree that you cannot force your opinion down other people's throats. When I was younger I remember arguing my point but with time I realized that there is no point. My parents have lived more than half of their life with these ideals and principles and no matter how much I try they will not be able to change the way they think. Even I cannot change my thinking to think as my parents so who am I to expect that from them? However, I have learned to look at things through their eyes and understand them, even if I do not agree with them. I do give my input though!
I was also wondering about some of the same things you mentioned. My friend, she was Muslim and she would wear "normal American clothes" at school but as soon as she got home she would change into more conservative clothes. Her dad knew she did not wear the same clothes she wore at school that she wore at home but again he turned a blind eye to that.
I wish they would have a stronger story line because things just don't make sense otherwise. I think romance is an important part of a show but I think having a story line is essential and one of the most important things. Everything is all mumbo jumbo. I also thinking they stretch things out way too much. Like they should tell us already what happened between the two families and Zoya's past. Before I was really excited and wanted to know but the more they delay the more interest I lose. I could kind of care less the more they stretch it.
