The violence is getting way too much now! - Page 4

What this whole incident taught the viewers are that when a guy is cute and he hits you or treats you poorly - it is OK, it is justified. When he comes forward and he apologizes and gets all mushy and romantic, he loves you.

Sadly Laila, for a bunch of people who grew up reading M&Bs and the like, this behaviour will seem normal as someone pointed out on pri's thread. Funny how people confuse BDSM with stuff like this. My take: you can't sow stuff like that on national telly. So this is the desi version... It fits in with the prescribed guidelines of our chauvinistic society. And it's nothing new... If your mom or you haven't been roughed up, then someone in your extended family or friends circle has... And you've grown up hearing people say... Jaane do, hum kya kar sakte hain? Hota hai...

I saw too many posts today where young girls have said that you take your anger out the most on the ones we love and that the best part of the slap will be when he will make it up to her and that will make the romance happen.

Romance?! But then I'm to surprised... Going by the previous shows of this PH... I think kekta was way better by this standard.

Too many young girls on this forum will be brainwashed into thinking that this is all acceptable in a relationship and will eventually not realize the signs of abuse when they enter into a relationship built on it.

For their sakes, I hope not! Laila, please post this on fb... Deserves a larger audience!

The show could have done a lot of good but tragically it will do a lot of damage to the psyche of the young girls here and that distresses me a lot. This means more young girls in our offices and more problems for us to resolve.

For all the tall claims made by the PH, so far I'm sorely disappointed by the superficial treatment to serious tracks like forced marriages, rape, honor killing, violence.

Shaz, I agree that Asad was a complete jerk today. In fact his words were more toxic than his thappad. The thappad was an act of impulse but his words were intentional and were really hurtful especially his reference to her being an orphan.

I agree in real life this would be unacceptable and no one would want a lover like asad but one has to look at this as a work of fiction where they want us to believe that people do change, love changes them. Seeing a gray character change to a romantic hero is everyone's dream. So, we should all try to differentiate real life from reel life.

This is a fantasy...like Beauty and the Beast. Dil par mat lo yaar.

The problem IS that their audience consists of young girls ..and maybe even guys, who don't UNDERSTAND that this is fiction. That is where the problem lies! A lot of our beliefs consist of what we learn from the media around us, and the posts I've seen on this forum from people saying, "oh she deserved it"..they really scare me.

There are so many shows where negative characters are made to sympathize with, such as Homeland, etc, but here the audience is different. People say "dil pe mat lo yaar" when its something negative, and take it completely to heart when its something positive!

QH is such a good show, but the creatives need to understand the graveness of the tracks they are handling - rape, abuse, forced marriage, etc.

I think the worst part is, it was almost as if Asad forgot that he slapped her! He showed no regret, no guilt over his actions, and if it was a mistake, like many are saying it was, then they would have shown Asad trying to process what he did. But they did not!

Yes, I know his mother was dying, but now when he is going to apologize, is it only because he found out that Zoya is innocent? ..Or is it also because of his own violent behaviour towards Zoya, which was wrong. It is wrong to hit a woman. And truth be told, in our society today, it is wrong to hit a woman, more than it is for a woman to hit a man.
