I hope I don't get bashed for this but I had to let it out.
Let me start by saying I am new to this forum. This is my first topic, second post on the Qubook Hai Forum. I actually was not going to watch this show because it was a muslim backdrop (chill, I am a muslim too) but Vaquar is in it (BIG FAN)π² and the girl who plays Zoya is TOO DAMN PRETTY... Her eyes are Beautiful and I was drawn by her beauty. I figured alright, i'll watch it over winter breaks. But mujhse raha hi nahi gaya. I was drawn since the first episode and watched all of it before coming on here.
Zoya the character, minus the raaz, is just like mine so far. I can actually relate. I feel the same way about marriage, I'm from the states so even I don't get people from "this country" (except I'm from Pakistan, not that there's a big difference; and i'm not crazy for any sport including cricket. lol) I was really drawn when I saw her praying numaz. I thought finally, apna culture nazar ayega but NO... she's the only one who ever freakin prayed and that too at her freakin weddingπ‘
not even the dadi or the taya/mamo prays and their so annoyingly strict! and don't get me started on asad! itni bari bari baatein but no religious bone in his body! but then again, he doesn't talk about islam, he talks about culture so he's excused sort of but what about "mr. jaldbaazi shaiytaan ka kaam hai" whats his excuse, why haven't i seen him pray even once! no azaan and they live in an islamic community from what i understand! and their both so freakin rich and not one aytal kursi hanging in their house! We have so many different prayers around our house and like i said i'm from the states! we aren't even that strict!
Now don't get me wrong but if the hindu culture is televised so well, then why not the muslim culture? the sunni/shia/all the rest come in later but what about the basic islamic culture??
I was just frustrated coming on the forum and seeing petition starters for the halala track, in which i've seen in pakistani dramas that it really ticked me off that nobody said anything about this(culture betrayal, if you ask me).
