I agree with you...they should show it once at least.
Its a Muslim show.. they have a culture too.
Urdu would have looked better.

I am not Indian nor i can read Hindi but it's common sense why they show Hindi script.

Agree but there's one thing I dont agree with...I think 95 % of people in India can read English cause otherwise they would have such a hard time living in India knowing everything in India is written in English except maybe some places where Hindi translations are given underneath English...

they dont teach urdu in india...there is not much difference between hindi and urdu as far as speaking the language...yes, there's a little difference..but the transition is very easy...the script in india for hindi/urdu is hindi only...hindi being india's national language...this show being part of national telivision..its obvious they would use hindi..and its true...muslims in india do not know urdu..they know hindi script only...unless of course..they learn urdu through family tradition or something...but in schools..urdu is definitely not taught...its not at all funny that they cant write urdu...in show they are speaking hindi only...they only make use of urdu words to give that special touch of muslim culture...there's absoulately nothing wrong with not being able to write urdu script...

Hindi is the national language and is much much more widely read and written than Urdu. Why make this complicated.

I am sorry but it seems you don't know much about Muslim culture in India, there are lots of Urdu medium schools all over India and CBSE itself recognises Urdu as a secondary language. There are hundreds of Urdu newspapers and magazines in circulation in India. Who reads all these if according to you Indian Muslims cant read Urdu...it seems you havn't been to Aligarh, Hydrabad, Lucknow or evenDelhi and other Muslim pocket where Educated urban Muslims reside..Urdu speaker,writers and readers are present in millions in India.

Oh, I'm very calm. I'm not that big fan of a show that it's giving me few heart problems. 😆
Wait, are you telling me that whatever we learn regarding our culture, religion, etc -- It's all from school? You mean to tell me that our family, parents, friends have no contribution at all?
You telling me that Urdu speakers living in India have no knowledge at all on how to write Urdu? That's a very shameful fact you telling me, my bud.

Affirmative.

As were all of Gul's shows.

Although it's not crap for me, and I enjoy the 'actors' and 'romance'. 😊

Ye, well me I can't watch shows without logic - Even if my favorites are in there.
It's a headache! 😆
