The Pakistani drama industry has been glorifying abuse by producing dramas like “Kaisi Teri Khud Garzi” which netizens have noticed and showed rage on social media after the recent incident with a girl in Faisalabad.
“Kaisi Teri Khud Garz” features Danish Taimoor and Durefishan Saleem as the key characters, romanticizes a toxic love story, and depicts power plays as acts of love and how it influences the life of your loved ones. Recently there have been two incidents that left everyone in shock. Firstly Zahir Jaffar and now Sheikh Danish. Both the well-known businessmen and highly educated people make the lives of the two girls miserable. Noor Makhdoom who got killed by Zahir Jaffer and now Khadija Abbas’s case takes new turns every other day, obviously because of the influential status of those cruel wealthy businessmen.
Pakistani drama industry is trying hard to get out of the stereotypes, but dramas like this keep ruining the image of an evolving industry. Highly recognized actors especially Danish Taimoor and Feroz Khan are known for producing and acting in these dramas that promote abuse. According to actors, producers, and directors,’ the public loves to watch this niche. And according to reports, it’s obvious that the public has most of their watch time on these abusive shows. And the core reason is that they want to watch something other than typical house politics. That’s why they turn their interests toward stressful shows. Our drama industry needs to change its mindset and also, they’re able to change the public’s perspectives by making productive shows which people can learn from.
