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.

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.

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!

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 eradicating diseases/viruses...why don't we start trying to kill/eliminate any sort of physical abuse? be in on men or women.

So these fan girls apparently love a man who slaps them and pushes on the wall.

Someone must educate these girls.

I am afraid how many boys will now think that it is OK to slap a girl because she is at fault.

Gone are the days when girls used to be respected.

I am surprised that if Zoya is treated like this now, what happens when she is Asad's wife.

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