Gul Khan, what are you playing at? - Page 3

Every show has to have a vamp.. so I'm not really bothered with Tanveer. And sometimes, Muslim or not, some people are really evil. But I agree, the way she's been portraying women has been awful in the past shows. I'm sure of Khushi being mistreated..I never used to keep up with much with Geet. Even after Khushi was forcefully married to ASR I stopped completely. Because he frigging made her sleep outside near the pool!!! I would NOT forgive a guy for that if he merely came and said 'sorry'! And even if I did forgive him, I'd probably still never want to see his face again!

So you're right. Even when things like these do happen in reality. It takes a lot for someone to actually forget it. I mean, hasn't Asad heard the saying 'the tongue is the sharpest weapon in your body.' He should learn to frigging well control it! because 'sorry' and a coffee/date does not make up for the scars he's caused for a lifetime!

oh my wooorrdd!!!! i love you right now! i wrote an exam this morning, on morally correct decisions and when i came home i though of Qubool Hai (as always). i'm majoring in Women and Gender Studies and thought to myself that i would want to make a post regarding this. but you did, so thank you!😆

i feel the exact same as you. why are women always expected to forgive and let go so easily, and now everybody is going to feel so bad because Asad shed a few tears and expect zoya to just it go. i think that is unfair. but any way, thanks for an amazing post 👏

I agree to an extent, but the thing is whether one is from New York or India a woman in love is a very forgiving one. That's why women continue to live with cheaters, alcoholics and abusers because they would have loved them in the beginning and think that they will change. HOPE. That is the biggest thing and I am sure Zoya hopes that Asad will love her just like she loves him. I agree Asad is being a prick. But only through these suspicions is he getting to know about Zoya otherwise he doesn't know anything about her life. I think that lack of knowledge is what makes him vicious with Zoya. Otherwise he does things to help her. And he does apologise readily. There are men out there who even after making a mistake will not apologise. He did help Zoya find her father, gave her a work permit, proposed to her in the airport, and accepted that everything is true in front of aapi. So we are all not perfect we have our flaws and asad's biggest flaw is that he is looking for reasons to find fault with zoya so that he can convinice himself to not love her more than he already does. But he doesn't know that they are made for each other.

Was having a discussion with an Indian person. I'm not Indian, so you hope you'll understand what I will try to explain.

In France, we don't ship stars as much as you do. Even french cinema. We don't go to watch movies actually. When there is a big Hollywood production, you'll see people in theaters. We tend to prefer actions movies.

In India, they not only know about movies, but also about stars. Their personal lives etc. How they dress, where they shop. Even there are a lot of SBS segments. You see how TV actors spend their days.

They are so much influenced by actors, public personalities. They share like a personal relationship with the actors, their characters, without even knowing them.

SO you're right. They see things, accept them in their movies. The girl as to be like this, the boy also.

So in Tellywood, even if the boy tortures the girl, everything will be fine.

It's a vicious circle: does Gul take things from real life? Does Gul have to treat women better in her shows? More like, imposing respect?

But that's only a show, a drama. To entertain people. But yeah, she has to be more careful. Reminds me movies like Rang de Basanti etc.

your post reminded me exactly why I dislike Twilight! Some girls think it's 'real love' so they go kill themselves for a guy who left them? The book was mainly aimed at teenagers, and did Stephanie Meyer really want to show THIS? Gul Khan is basically being the Indian version of Stephanie Meyer! And I'm not from India either, but I know people almost worship stars and their lifestyle. I mean, TV is so important to them, so by watching all this stuff daily, it actually gets to their heads. They learn, it's alright if a guy mistreats me as long as he takes me on a date'..!!

Sanaa as much as I really adore your posts I beg to differ. This is a show, a piece of fiction and a work of writers who have creative liberty to show what their story is. I am not saying we do not have the rights to judge actions of characters into right or wrong, but I think its gonna go way ahead if keep a watch over it being moral police(not saying you are, but many do right?) This is just a daily show, and none of us here watch it to learn anything or pick up anything to implement in our lives. There are various shows/plays/movies and so on who show different stories, characters with different characters, this is not even a peck of the kind of stories that are shown around really. We all and even the general audience watches these shows merely for entertainment. Its not about what a girl or teenager or any lover would react to what Asad does, its about what the particular character does. That is how Zoya's character is. The idea is to make Asad guiltier, when he realizes the truth and it hits him how even after his million mistakes Zoya had a heart as huge to take it all and yet not get down to getting back at him.

I am not justifying 4 lions or Asad's character, because we all have different ways we see the shows and stuff shown in it, and I see this as a story, and not as a man versus women, or women being shown down story. I feel in a way the women here are being shown stronger. Leaving the evil characters aside, what a woman of dignity is Dilshad, her husband leaves her for another woman but she does not let it get to her, she builds a life, raises her children all by herself and gives them morals no one else could. Shireen - though dumb, and who can be easily fooled, has a heart to let her husband go meet his first wife when she is on death bed, allow him to choose to stay with her or walk out. What a dignified woman is Badi bi, who can fall down the stares, being hung down a rope and so on but can yet come back to fight with a woman at this age to get her son and his family out of her shackles , and what a woman is Zoya, who has a heart of gold to think over everyone's good before herself, who can do anything to make people close to her heart happy, who has the ability of spreading happiness in the life of a man who knows nothing about it lol. And who'll end up changing a man whom many of us would give up on..

Sorry for the long rant, but If we're being feminist really, I see this entire scenario in a different light. Again, completely not justifying Gul, who is she to me anyway lol but I really think she has rather shown her woman as the ones who change heart of stones into gold.
