Hum TV has launched fresh teasers of their on-going soap drama, Juda Huay Kuch Is Tarah across social media platforms. Netizens have slammed the teasers for trivializing the relationship between ‘Foster’ siblings.
The drama serial is penned by Pyarey Afzal fame Khail-ur-Rehman Qamar.
Actor Gohar Rasheed has penned a long note for abusive men who think “physically abusing women is fine.”
Sharing a clip from his drama serial Laapata, the Digest Writer star turned to social media and wrote: “I hate the display of physical abuse on television. This is why I have always refrained from doing it in at least my own characters. It’s unfortunate but it has been done so frequently on our television that it’s almost become a subconscious reality for us.”
The Mann Mayal actor further added: “Apparently, physically abusing women is “fine” and any misogynistic, spineless man can get away with it, just like Daniyal thought in yesterday’s episode of Laapata. It may sound strange but The Thappad scene was the only reason as to why I took up the character of Daniyal.”
“To prove that oppression is a choice. If any insecure man with his fragile ego tries his so called muscles on you, make the choice that Falak did, without any fear! One tight slap back from a brave woman to such weak man in our society would be a giant leap for women kind”, he concluded.
“Girls like Falak rock. Men like Daniyal shock,” concluded Rasheed.
In the video, husband (Danyal) slaps wife (Falak) and she slaps him back with a warning to break his hands if he’ll think of doing that again.
Featuring a far-famed cast of Ayeza Khan, Sarah , Ali Rehman Khan and Gohar , Laapata airs on Hum TV. The drama is written and directed by Khizer Idrees.
Actor Usman Mukhtar has revealed that he initially refused to work in his successful drama Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay.
In a recent interview, the Anaa star mentioned: “I’m generally a little picky with my scripts especially after Sabaat when I received the script of Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, I initially refused to be a part of it.”
“When I read the script and the novel I thought that the character of Aswad was too toxic. I wanted to do something different this time. Then later on we had a conversation with the team and we changed many things in Aswad’s character. I refused to portray a violent character. The team cooperated with me and changed what I requested them to change in script”, added Usman.
“Aswad does not come from that background, born and brought up in a household of women. Not a lot of boys were involved in his life,” he stated.
The Parchi actor revealed: “Now we’re getting a massive response on Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. People are loving the storyline and everything. Meanwhile, I’m also receiving threatening messages that what you are doing to Mehreen is totally wrong, you’ll be destroyed. I used tell them that it’s just a character and drama.”
He also confessed that this isn’t the first time that he was supposed to work with Mahira Khan as he was also approached for Verna by Shoaib Mansoor but that couldn’t materialise.
Along with Usman in the Farooq Rind directorial, Mahira Khan and Kubra Khan can be seen in lead roles as Mehreen and Mashal, respectively.
Drama serial Laapata starring A-list stars like Ayeza Khan, Sarah Khan and Ali Rehman Khan went on-air on July 28th. The drama has been scrutinized by a blog for treating the conduct of harassment insensitively.
Singer Meesha Shafi and Actor Adnan Malik took to their Instagram stories to slam the makers of the show for trivializing a sensitive subject like harrasment, that too in a play starring some of the biggest names of the industry.
The ongoing rise in crimes against women in Pakistan makes the content of the scene even more problematic for the society and the mindsets of the viewers.
The Meray Paas Tum Ho star posted the same scene and mentioned that her character will get into negative circumstances because of her wrongdoings.
Earlier actress Iqra Aziz was panned by audiences for trivialising domestic violence in her drama serial Jhooti co-starring Yasir Hussain and Ahmad Ali Butt.
