Speak Urdu, but Can't Write it? LOL! - Page 5

If one goes by the statistics, a person belonging to the social strata tha Asad is from would actually not only write in English but would also word it in English. No matter what religion the person follows. But even that wasn't shown...so what's the problem?

Asad is a Indian-Muslim, so it's really not uncommon for him to write in hindi. Just because one is a muslim doesn't mean they have to write in Arabic, if you live in a Muslim country then yes it's common, so I guess people in Pakistan would write in Arabic because that's what they have been taught, but India isn't a Islamic country and Asad has been taught to write in Hindi so he will write in what he's comfortable in.

I can't read or write in Hindi or Urdu!...Well I can read very basic Urdu because the script is Arabic.

may be for muslims but its an indian show..

and we indians cant read urdu...

most of us cant read

First of all, Gul made this show with a muslim backdrop but that doesn't mean that she does EVERYTHING that goes with muslim/islam. She clearly stated in her interviews that the characters being muslim has very minimum to do with the show. She is not making a show on a religion but on characters and a plot.

They live in INDIA where most of the people regardless of their religion read and write hindi. I'm sure even Gul most likely writes in hindi. Also, unlike many people's belief's there are muslims that can speak urdu but can't write it. It's not that big of a deal.

And you said that people that don't reside in India don't know hindi but this show was made for people that live in India. Gul doesn't care about non-indians because that doesn't give her TRPs. Majority of the shows portray things that the indian audience would want to see.
I'm not saying that Gul and the crew doesn't appreciate the audience abroad but that's just not what they try to target.

I don't get why this has been made such a big deal. It's not like they didn't do their homework...it was just a NOTE. If it was a wedding invitation then I would understand.

And No. This show is not on the top just because of its romantic scenes but it's on the top because of the actors, characters, plot, direction and production.

Um I hope you know that there are Indians who are Muslims 😕 that speak Urdu.

I think what Kriti meant was that the show is targeted to ALL of India and the majority can't read Urdu.

I don't think its such a big deal.I am an Indian Muslim ,we speak Urdu in our home but i cannot write in it ,as I studied in a christian convent ,but I am very fluent in Hindi.

what a big deal yarr
this show is about Muslim family, and nothing else
not about religion, not about language
aur wasay bhi kis nay kaha k Muslim honay k liya Urdu ka ana zarori hai
what about Middle east, Europe, America wahan kia muslims nahi hotay
yah wahan k lonon ko bhi urdu likhna yah pharna ata hai???

but agree ager urdu main likha hota tu zida acha lagta,
nahi bhi hai tu kia
ignore kardo dost

They live in india so u learn hindi in school. But ya ur write.
