I started watching pakistani dramas when I was very young, we're talking since toddler days here, cus of my mom and sisters who used to watch them all the time lol. What was the things about q*sim and sassi relationship that were hard to digest to you? Personally, I really liked their relationship at first since it was a really unique dynamic between a ml and fl for a pakistani drama, I think they were the ones who introduced to me soft boy and tough girl trope? But anyway, ever since the slap, I hated their relationship and now thinking about them more just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Something feels so icky about their relationship.

ALSO can I just say you're literally so right-minded?? During the mujhe pyaar hua tha era, your tweets about that drama and one other person's were literally the only things that were keeping me sane at the time like holy shit the amount of times I wanted to bang my head against a wall cus of this stupid drama is astronomical. Every time I read a neelo praise tweet/comment I lose 10 years of my life. That bitch annoyed the fuck out of me and especially ESPECIALLY her dick riders. The audience of paki dramas have so little empathy for women it's fucking crazy and extremely infuriating. When maheer officially got married to saad and then started to cry in her room afterwards, I felt so sorry for her and I thought the audience would too, at least a tiny bit. But imagine my surprise when I saw tweets making fun of her and just generally not giving a fuck about her. My blood was boiling. That one fucking tweet still lives in my mind rent free "hm anyways so-" are yall that heartless or just stupid? Seriously, all people talked about was poor saad this, poor saad that BITCH WHAT ABOUT MAHEER??? SHE WAS SUFFERING TOO??? If anything, she was the one who was going through it the most imo. I was so close to losing my mind with all that maheer slander and neelo praise tweets thank fuck I had a mootie (god bless her) who was feeling the same way as me. I used to send long rants to her in dms cus god the feedback of that drama was so frustrating ugh

i haven’t watched o rangreza in a loooong time so there are honestly parts of it i don’t even remember anymore but for whatever sharp commentary it possessed that i appreciated i think what the slap and then conclusively the end for sassi left me feeling was like the narrative was too willing to paint sassi as equally capable of the crimes of her father without taking into account that she was still ultimately a victim, and a female victim at that. like yeah a lot of daughters will emulate their fathers and there’s endless philosophy and literature on that dynamic but there’s a position in society sassi occupies that her father never will and i don’t think the narrative was as kind to her in that regard. which arguably may have been exactly the point of the ending but i didn’t entirely gel with the way she compared herself directly to him when she gave her reasons for not going through with the marriage to qasim in the end. it was a commentary on her taking action to not be selfish for once but i wish the narrative hadn’t acted like she was selfish willingly, if that makes sense. she was a shadow of her father and she deserved sympathy for what that made of her even if she deserved criticism too
