Thappad & TRPs - Page 2

Yes Vineeta it's a weird way of showing 'haq' in stories. Even Devdas hit Paro and gave her a permanent scar on her forehead. I think the PH was clever in showing this thappad...if you look carefully, it seems like he is just swinging his hand in rage and Zoya just happened to be in his line of fire. If there was a piece of glass or a flower vase instead, he would have broken that. So, this thappad can go both ways and that's why there are so many opinions on this forum.

I just want Zoya to keep her self respect and not try to give him any explanations at this point. Let him figure it out and repent.

Whoever watched Gul Khan's previous SP show should be privy to her twisted logic. Today's slap was a classic Gul Khan move ...

Laila2009 - it doesn't take too much for Gul's heroin to fall in love 😆 ...according to her, this sort of chauvinistic behavior "intensifys" the romance

i agree but for some reason love stories thrive on this kind of 'haq'- Devdas is a prime example

I used to watch a serial in which even rape was justified 😕 and people loved it😕..of course an Ekta Kapoor's show.Hope Gul won't stoop that low

Yep EK stuff and there are a lot of shows that justify it to and if the guy marries her and is nice in the end, how romantic 🤢

Totally agree! This "haq" thinking is something I hear a lot on Indian dramas where women will say, my father has "haq" over him to do what he wants...this "haq" thing reminds of some type of enslavement and ownership issue. It's what people use to justify their ability to do what they want to you.

Bheegi, after seeing the support this has generated and the number of women defending Asad, I feel you are completely right. Then again, in the US women loved Laura and Luke on GH - the had no problem in accepting that what they saw was a rape. It took 30 years for the public to change their way of thinking and it will take Indian audiences to also change their thinking as well.

You are right, this is going to get them what they want - TRPs and over the top drama of Asad repenting for his actions. PrincessJojo had the most inventive idea - Asad running his hand through some grinder and Zoya putting haldi past on it...seriously though..how is she going to fall in love with him now. R they going to have Asad grab her and kiss that check and that cut with mitwa moments in the background? Seriously, this is such a disappointment to what could have been a really good show.
