I am so sorry to burst your bubble. From now on you really will not be able to enjoy the "romantic" scenes as much because whenever you will watch them...like Jayne and me you will see how horribly wrong it is. But the good news is that you can watch American tv shows and british tv shows (i love those). I could even recommend you some if you want. They generally are much better too...in terms or writing and acting and directing and the list goes on and on...especially BBC tv shows. Dont watch korean/taiwanese because they have the same concept as QH and IPK with female degradation.

Jayne I was just trying to make a point because I (mis)understood Nisha's stance on gays to be something she else.

Returning to the issue at hand...I echo both RC's and Jayne's sentiments. That, yes, most of us viewers take the story scene by scene and we practice selective amnesia because we want to get entertained by the good stuff shown and pretend like the bad stuff didn't happen. I know I do. It's not a case of the bad stuff becoming acceptable, for the most of us viewers. On the other hand, I fully agree to the idea that there is a subconscious effect on viewing such things repeatedly...it becomes acceptable and we don't even realize it. And most susceptible to this are young impressionable minds who haven't seen much else in life or on TV, who don't have much else to compare this behavior to.

But we're (as in society) are already thinking it as you said. It's just in the internet we're saying it aloud because it's anonymous.

Also these are just words bit/h sl*t etc. On the internet we just say it without meaning it so there that too.

People speaking without knowing the implications.

Asad/Zoya, it's fine to judge them. But I think it's better to reserve judgement on real people.

She does what sells.

We're all here aren't we?

We all watch QH don't we?

Sometimes I hate myself then I become too fickle because i'm bored and like how the leads look.

Alas a vicious cycle.

Who's going to break it?

yep I read it in an article recently. I think it was the one where she talks about muslims being marginalized in India. Apparently she has a hindu husband too...I didnt know at all.

I think she said for the first 12 years of her life or so she was outside India.

As to her married life...makes me wonder if her heroes are modeled after her real life love/marriage story.

your right because it sells thats why she makes this stuff. But I wont be able to watch this for long. I had to quit IPK too...I simply could not look at Arnav anymore without a sneer on my face (not good when your hero starts to disgust audiences).

I started because of KSG and stuck because of him too, but at a point even he wont be able to keep me glued to this show. At that point, I would rather just watch reruns of Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai (which I do) and do cardio for an hour even with a hip stain (which I have right now and am in a lot of pain). I am quickly reaching that point rockerchic.

P.S. Where did you come up with such an amazing ID? I am very uncreative so I can never come up with anything besides my name 😆

Apparently she bases her characters on Mills and Boon characters, that's what she says.

I love complex characters, they're interesting.
But there's a difference between someone having a dark background, seriousness, anger, pain, intensity and passion, and someone also being cruel.
The first kind finds it difficult to trust and open up, but the second type along with all this stuff, intentionally hurts others, and unfortunately Asad falls into the latter.
Plus, I'm sorry If I offend anyone with this comment, I think he lacks the charm Arnav had. When Arnav wasn't around Khushi, he was lovable, he did good things, and he was a suave businessman. Asad however only ever seems to feel sorry for himself, and as of late, run after Tanveer. I mean what else does the guy do?😕
I liked his character to begin with, but it's not looking great anymore.

Even after the slap I was willing to give Asad a chance.
I put myself in his shoes and thought If I blamed someone for putting my mum or dad on their deathbed then maybe in a fit of pain and anger I might do what he did, although I doubt it. But I could kind of understand his feelings. He thought he was going to lose the person he loved most in this world, and he blamed Zoya for it. But it still wasn't easy digesting that slap.

But my mind changed after he made comments about how Zoya doesn't deserve a family.
He didn't say it in a fit of anger or pain. He meant it. He has said it more than once.
It was a thought out thing, not a heat of the moment thing. What gives him the right to decide who does and doesn't deserve a family? Who made him God?

If he's such a good God-abiding individual, who is so mature and kind, so he thinks in comparison to Zoya, how can he even think such horrible thoughts?

Call me stupid or whatever, but I'd be much more likely to forgive a man if he hurt me physically once, than a man who believes I deserve no love, and repeats these sentiments more than once. The second man would be wishing ill for me and great unhappiness. But once again Asad falls into both categories.
