Hey there!
It's been a while since I wrote you a letter, the last one wasn't pretty and I do apologize for that.
Qubool Hai has invoked a lot emotions in me and I do respond, react to your characters. Whether it be the straight laced Asad,the free spirited Ayaan, the strong Zoya, the innocent Hemeira- I do care deeply for these characters.
But as a viewer and your fan, I do have a bit of advice for you.
Rape.
Mercy Killings.
Infidelity.
Forced marriages.
Dowry
I do understand that with QH you want to tell a story that's bigger than just romance and first love. But while this is very good for Indian Television, I hope you tread the grounds carefully.
What I want to see from QH is a mature story which deals with these very real issues in an emotional way that will make an impact on the audience.
Marium is a rape victim. And even if you're going to show her for five minutes I would like to see the character' s difficult emotions, the pain because women never(fully) recover from such a heinous experience.
Further Zoya was buried alive and for me that entire sequence was so breathtakingly emotional and I felt the horror and pain of both Asad and Zoya.
What I would like to see is the impact that has on Zoya again on a mental level. Like maybe a fear of enclosed spaces or something like that, you come up with it you're the creator.
Humeira' s suicide I hope isn't brushed aside. It shows how weak her mind is and knowing that India is on top of the list of suicide cases under 25, I think a social message from this angle would also be welcomed.
I can see that you have big plans and big ideas by taking up so many social issues. I hope that in due time (I' m not asking immediately or at the same time) you do come back to these issues one by one and actually give the audience something to think about.
Your Fan.
