NO I never felt anything like that while watching that scene. It was NOT Romanticized. I feel it's just in us viewers mind hence we feel that way. I think many of us mistook that scene that way since Asad and Zoya are a couple( in our mind and in future)and we expect them to have eye lock and tender moments every time they are together. Ofcourse those who are not comfortable with Dark love stories might feel offended in that scene.

I read dark love stories, but they're not for general viewing at the 9:30 PM slot.

I think the worry here is that instead of moving on people have embraced it as something romantic. And that it's sending out a wrong a message.

Regarding it being a crime against women, in the broader scope of things, people are talking about Asad hitting Zoya (like in SBS/TOI) and when a third person (who doesn't watch QH) sees it they see a guy hitting a girl and many people are often of the opinion that if it happens on television then it must be common enough - that is a wrong message sent.

Exactly. People are mixing up Asad Zoya eye locks with this SLAP scene. It was not projected as ROMANTIC but some people are unable to comprehend that.

Example : kids are grounded and their toys are confiscated in a white household-

My dad used to to let his work tension out on my sisters and I- which is not cool! There's no use kicking the dog.

...and then I realized not all brown kids are beat to set them straight, some are just too crazy and abuse for no reason.

and I believe in second chances, take Rihanna and Chris Brown for example,
he beat the shit out of Rihanna (so bad that she forgot her name 😆 So SORRY, but I just HAD to) ...they took a break and now they're back together!
Sure, lots of ppl are against it but just because Breezy did something horrible...does it make him unworthy of women?

Excuse me for the unconnected thoughts...that's cause I realized a few things as I typed.

I just learned something, up until now I thought it was okay for parents to beat their kids but even that is not okay. Abusing of all sorts need to be stopped. My parents may have beat me in order to raise a good child (pssch) but there are many wackos abusing their children for no good reason.

It's not okay for kids to be beat - for good or bad,.
Stopping one (beating to "fix" ) could help stop the wackos.

Likewise, stopping "just a slap" could maybe prevent other women from ending up like Rihanna.
But, I think "bitch-slapping" should be stopped as well - a lot of this happens in English shows, recently Suits! 😆 beautiful slap though! 😛

😆 duh dude i was the one who gave that example but i only got slaps till i was in 7th 😆 after that i never got any n its not tht i got it every second or day 😆 sometime i use to get bcoz i was very mischievious 😳😆 n now wen i look back it was for gud that i got it i know wat is right n wrong in life n moi parents r the best in this universe 😳n i agree on your beautiful slap on Suits thing😛

You actually have point. It is for entertainment and people may not learn anything from a TV show.
But, why are people making VM's then? What does this say about the person's mental state/judgement?

People work so hard to fight the extinction of animals and eradicate diseases/viruses...why don't we start trying to kill/eliminate any sort of physical abuse? be in on men or women.

Rushita,

Partly why two Indian couples in Norway were in hot soup... How Indians or south Asians raise their kids is different but not necessarily correct.

There was a time when it was ok for people to hit each other... Men hit women, women fight back in defence, people yelled at each other in anger... But over time, were realising this behaviour is not okay.

times are changing. dark love stories come on at 9:30 pm now.

Seriously guys is it just me or this is going way too overboard.

I didnt think the slap was romanticized. He was furious when he slapped her. And I think the mitwa yesterday was misplaced yes...it was random as heck too. Here she was dropping chips everywhere and out of nowhere mitwa starts. But I first thought the mitwa came on because he touched her...

Yes apparently touch warranties the BG score. Then the angle shifted to the wound on her hand and I saw guilt on his face. The BG was mitwa but the expressions not so much romantic.

Hi!

I really liked the letter you wrote. I think it's a step in the right direction. So, I haven't read all 30 pages of this discussion, but I skimmed a few pages here and there. I didn't see any mention of this, so I thought I'd link you. The BCCC is having a session to sensitize creative teams on TV channels on the depiction of women on TV.

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-07/india/36971051_1_bccc-sources-women

It's pretty sad that creative teams need to be sensitized. After all, aren't artistes supposed to be the most sensitive to upheavals in society? This is a good time to have this debate, when the country has finally woken up to the way women are mistreated/abused in India. The point in the article about the shows pretending to create awareness in society through their depiction of violence against women is particularly well taken. It's almost like they pick an issue, say they'll make a show out of it, and then proceed to depict women undergoing numerous sufferings before she finally gets things right in her life. What's worse, things going well for her usually mean she's finally hitched to a good guy.

For those who say people's behaviors are not influenced by what comes on TV, I say your argument is not just flawed, it is outright wrong. Of course they are. See this article from a year ago.

http://www.filmitown.com/2012/01/10/bccc-objects-on-showing-violence-on-small-screen/

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I could probably find you 100 more if I had the time and the inclination. 😊

Finally, this is not about Qubool Hai. It really isn't. QH was just the vehicle. Its about every show that showcases this kind of behavior.

Kudos on writing the letter!

See this show is for a little mature people, hence it is shown at 9:30 pm time slot instead of 8 pm. Monday to Friday are school days and teenagers are not supposed to watch shows after 9:30 on school days. Yes I read dark stories too and forget this momentary slap , leads often do much worwe worse in stories.This SLAP is not soo serious as some people are making out of it.

Razia is a woman herself hence I guess no one considers this as CRIME AGAINST WOMAN😆
