I LOVE you for this! 🤗

You know as much as I am disheartened by the casual way many took the slap, the "justifications", even the laughter (😕) and the drooling (🤢)...I am SO heartened that I have also met people like you and Laila and Priyanka and many many more! It gives me hope!

I agree after going through countless posts in support of Asad I am glad that there a sane post in this forum to discuss the slap!

Well that intention did not last long. I feel like shouting hypocrities at them now, saying and doing anything just to get viewers to the show, and worse seeking mileage from a too-brutal-for-words tragedy 🤢

hi Aalia...I think I was discussing the matter with Mira...it just leaves me numb...Ms khan is dilutional... In one of her interviews she mentioned that she wanted to clear the misconception about Muslim culture... But unfortunately she is showing every wrong message possible.

i am Priyanka Laila...I posted on the FB page...let me know what else I can do to spread the voice...and yes I am literally shocked after watching the SBS clips...she has stayed back in the house and seemed like have forgiven him...I am waiting for the actual epi to air before I comment...but i am simply not liking this...

Also this goes against Zoya's character. She is a modern, educated girl, from the States. I can a teeny tiny bit still relate to Zoya, and if I was at her place, I would have worked out of the Khan house and laid a police complaint against the brute who had no right to lay his hand on me 😡 Zoya should speak out or else this further butchers her character.

I would have done the same thing...walked out and then reported him...I just don't want them to ruin Zoya's character...she was so unique.

Man! Exploiting that tragedy for profit! It beggars belief! It is a cynical profit making business and it's clear that they really don't care empowering women. And we fell for it!

Mariam is saved from having to marry her rapist, but Zoya must be subject to physical and verbal abuse...ek haath se dete hain aur doosre se cheen lete hain! Wah!

The slap was totally unjustified and should never have been shown on TV.

The only time violence is justified is for self-defence. I feel that slaps are shown very easily in television and violence is shown to build sexual tension. Abusive scenes are shown to demonstrate sexual chemistry which is absolutely not acceptable,

The slap was wrong, but even now Asad does not show any remorse for his action. He will show it when he realizes that Zoya was not responsible for his mother's injury.

Can we justify violence becox someone is angry or upset? Then the same goes for Mariam's family, who believed that Zoya was responsible and they are angry and they tried to harm her.

You know QH is my first ever Indian telly show and I was in for one hell of a rude shock. I watched it expecting something positive, empowering and normal to do with Muslim families but the abuse and atrocities thrown at Zoya so early in the show really put me off it. My heart went out to her, because like her I am a educated Muslim girl, born and brought up in a Muslim country. And Muslim families are nowhere like the ones depicted in this show. Then thanks to the wonderful like-minded people in the forum I got to know that what was being shown is what 4Lions do best. Still, I was ready to tolerate it, for the sake of it is a show that I probably will not be watching too long. But that slap yesterday. The brutality of its deliverance and the blase attitude and endorsement of the majority of the forum towards the unwarranted action made me decide that this is enough. I'm going to register my views regardless of whether people wanna hear them or not. I may not be in this forum for long but for the time I'm here, I will make sure I make it count.

Edit: Oops, I am born and brought up in a Western country, NZ 😳
