It is needless to bring in the Muslim angle and give reason for unnecessary bashing here. I fail to see the reason for diverting attention from the TM to a topic not mentioned in her comment. !
The issue here is the butchering of Asad's character This is not the way he had started his journey in QH ...he the man of tehzeeb .Love can not reduce a man to a wimp can it ? This was shown earlier too when Zoya does all her tricks to force him to untidy his room and eat in a messy manner .That too was OTT I thought ...but survived as Karan was there at that time . No wonder he wanted to leave !
I have seen this in the only other serial I watched recently ..Kuchh toh log kahenge . There too after Mohnish Bahl had crafted the character of Ashu so beautifully it was slaughtered similiarly by the female lead. A celebrity senior surgeon was made to look a buffoon ...dragged against his will to a pub, gifted a bottle of hair dye , reading glasses.etc etc. MB had quit too refusing to cater to this ridicule.
Indian soaps are obviously catering to women protagonists and thus the female leads have to be shown the leaders at all cost.Even at the expense of killing the characters and the story beyond recognition.
Thank you ranz for sharing your angst .Totally agree with you :)
