The current issue with men in pakistani dramas

We have had our fair share of toxic alpha males but the current rise in insecure and under confident male leads. The ones who pretend to be green flags but turn out to be red flags. These male leads have been abused and have an inferiority complex.

Salman from Dr bahu and aun from zabt are two of the best examples. These men have failed as husbands you can not pretend to be understanding and then lash out and misunderstand your wife. Both salman and aun are no better then men like Dr shahnawaz, faizan and shami ( zabt). They do not listen to the people they claim to love and they do not trust their wives. Such men are worse than toxic male leads because they fool you in to believing that they are green flags and the ideal husbands.

I have zero hopes for Anas in bas tera sath ho because I am sure he will go down the same path. Even shehreyar munawar's character in radd became toxic at the end.

Facing abuse is not excuse to be shitty and hurt other people. Writers who write these characters toy with the viewers feelings and I think it's important do discuss such characters.

What is wrong with desi parents 🙏

My abba got so disappointed that I couldn't format properly on Word that he went upstairs angrily and is now watching tv at the loudest possible volume.

Weird interviews

I don't usually read interviews by show runners but I read the books and watched the show and enjoyed it. My favourite couples are Grace and logan and tucker and sabrina. I was a bit scared by the season switch because bridgerton has traumatised me.

But I read an article in which the show runner said that they don't need to introduce more characters in the show. I don't know if she's trying to throw off fans, build anticipation for the seasons or she has taken a book out of elle kennedy 's school of favouritism but it's such a weird thing to say. They still need to introduce Grace and sabrina and build their characters for their respective seasons🤞. I say this because the stories are intertwined and Grace and sabrina are 2 important characters if we can have jules and other background characters than like we can make room for them.

It's an ensemble show and I find it weird that she said that as it just causes more division in the fandom.

I wish my mother would leave me alone

It's constantly do this do that, yeh dua parho yeh khao yeh piyo yeh karwao. Nahin karwana mujhay kuch bhi leave me alone. My therapist always tells her to give me space when I am upset but my mother isn't the one to believe in giving space. If i am angry or upset she'll hug me I don't want that because than I'll say or do something hurtful magr unhein samajh hi nahin aata hai. I barely leave the house the only people I see are my parents, it's been like that for 2 years I can't do this. I want thori si space I don't want my mother constantly nagging me. She never blames my sister for the shit she does because my sister is married but I need to be understanding. I need to understand that just because she doesn't let me talk without Interrupting, and just starts talking to her husband while I am telling her something important. I can't get angry because my sister has a life and I can just go to hell.

I sometimes think I'd like living in a hostel when I am in university but my mother just laughs at me she says I couldn't manage that I am lazy and would probably never do anything. Maybe I don't want to do anything. I want to live alone because I am so fricking tired of being told what to do. I wish they would leave me alone

Doctor Bahu ep 21 (discussion)

The only character I have sympathy for and absolutely adore is Minah. Hajra yameen has aced the role. Minah deserves so much better.

Sania should have left the house and salman is weird. The downfall of Dr bahu is so real

And regardless of how much research you do you still won't know. If you're skeptical about things keep it to yourself there is no reason to turn this sub into a place for conspiracy theories.

Secondly people discussing cancer do not and will not understand how serious it is unless you have been through yourself. I had cancer and I also lost my cousin to cancer. My cousin actually beat it but he ended up relapsing after a few months and he passed away. Cancer is not something that magically disappear it leaves long lasting impacts on your body. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are not easy, they literally alter your body. Cancer will never be easy because it's not a competition and suffering and pain can not be quantified.

We need to stop talking about this topic if we can't be civil because these are serious topics that deserve respect. Respect the deceased and stop talking about this topic either way.
