I want to share in this thread how shit ARY DIGITAL is and how it airs shit dramas.
We have talked much about #MerePasTumHo , #Jhooti and others. I am writing this about another drama #MeraQusoor. I was watching an episode sitting with my mother today and it just broke my heart

so bad. Before writing about drama, let me tell you something else. Since the day I & my siblings started acknowledging the inherent misogyny and started noticing it in our father's behaviour, we call him out. Despite being a really good father and a husband too, he too posseses

many misogynist traits and sometimes, his behaviour with Ami is not right. We call him out on this misogyny and whenever he talks loud with Ami, we all take a stand and he has cut on his behaviour a lot. All three of us take our mother's side whenever we feel that

Abu has misbehaved because why not? It is our responsibility as their children to show disapproval for his rude behaviour.

ARY decided to air a drama #MeraQusoor and I will not talk how problematic the whole drama is, but let me share one scene which hit me so hard.

The scene started with kids raising their voices in front of their father for being abusive and toxic with the mother. Ab Aba jee kehty hain k ma tumhari maa ko talaaq dy rha hon and the mother begs him not to do this. Phr ik scene ata ha jahaan aba jee bary fakhar sy keh rhy

hoty hain k "Isko laga tha k mry bachon ko mry khilaaf kr k yeh kuch kr ly g. Sara guroor tor dia ha aj ma ny iska"
Like fuck you ARY. What message do you want to give? Ab baap fazool harkatein kary or aulaad drmean ma mat ay? Wo chahy BV ko maarta rhy but NO, bachy q Maa k lye

bolein. Wo bolein gy to Maa ko talaaq mil jay g and no women in Pakistan feels good about Talaaq. Jahaan toxic relationships ma reh lein gi but Talaaq, Astragfirullah. Us situation ma asa scene play k Haq k lye bolna bh jaan ka azaab dikhao or phr asy shohar sy

Talaaq ko bh musebat dikhao.

For a moment, it scared the shit out of me too. What if my interference in my parents' relationship results in something like that? This was the first thought that came to my mind and then it took a conscious effort for me to remind myself that

it is my responsibility to speak in front of my mother to my father when she can't. After all, at this age, we who claim to be woke and preacher of equality, we need to start it from our homes.

But our media has decided to discourage all such efforts. All problematic shit serials apart, this non-sense #MeraQusoor ik taraf.
