Twitterati and the internet are furious at another Pakistani drama ‘Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi’ whose problematic plotline revolves around glorification of abuse and violence.
Starring Danish Taimoor and Durefishan Saleem in lead roles, the drama romanticises a toxic love story and shows power moves as love.
The lead character Shamsher is played by Taimoor. He is a spoiled brat who simply cannot take no for an answer. His toxic obsession with Mehak has been slammed by the fans. However, the show has been garnering widespread popularity and is winning the rating and views race.
Nevertheless, the social media critique has intensified for Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi as people have highlighted how such dramas encourage behaviours of the monsters like Zahir Jaffer and Sheikh Danish. The backlash particularly intensified after the news of Khadija Abbas went viral. The medical student rejected her friend’s father’s marriage proposal.

I haven’t started watching Kaisi Teri khudgarzi and never intended to, but yesterday I watched episode 15 with my colleague. While reading the comments, it was so hilarious to see how ladies were romanticizing shamsher’s obsession. This isnt LOVE. Love can NEVER be forced.

There is nothing civilised about Shamsheer or his family but we’re slowly being brainwashed to forgive him because a) he says he loves Mehek b) he paid the hospital bills.

One sided ‘love’, coercion and ultimately possession. It’s horrific to see real life Khadijas suffer the unimaginable consequences of a powerful man’s obsession. #justiceforkhadija
