TERE BIN


 

The much talked about play #terebin which gained popularity among the drama watchers, especially women for showing glamorous chemistry between the leads. However, the plot only revolved around the main leads #murtasim #meerab and a third wheel the be-haya🫣 #haya.
Set in a wadeera culture backdrop, the story starts off with a bizarre marraige between the two, despite their obvious dislike for each other. The plot revolved around the 'so-called chemistry' that was the consummation of marriage between the two 🙄. Since Meerab had Murtasim sign a contract (handwritten, torn a paper from a register, if it qualifies as a contract that is) to not consummate the marraige and the rich wadeera despite all the wealth🤔 sleeps on the couch day in and day out.
To cut the long story short,eyebrow the play has an annoying sound track that plays after every spoken dialogue or every gesture of the eye brow.
#Meerab played by Yumna Zaidi displays all possible toxicity (badtameezi)in the story and the nation's heartthrob #murtasim played by Wahaaj Ali desires for her attention and love, despite her toxic rage. The clichéd "maa begum" played by bushra ansari (waste of her talent) and her daughter maryam (naand of meerab) along with a plethora of other characters that were used in the story for various reasons.
The story takes its viewers through a bizarre situation of kidnapping , black magic, ex- reappearing from the past, to jealousy, fake pregnancy news and the eloping of the naand. However, the viewers held on to the play hoping Murtasim and Meerab would soon kiss and make up towards a 'happy ending' (in all its meanings🫢).
However, last nights episode🔞 insulted the patience & loyalty of the viewers. The writing and production team took an absolutely bizarre turn when they showed all limits of toxic femininity and masculinity on screen. The characters in the episode went beyond all limits of civility by slapping, spitting on each other's faces, and, most shockingly, suggesting marital rape.
Just when the play was about to wrap up into something, the team decided to take it to the dungeons. Which was both sad and questionable for the television screen.
#terebin team should apologize to the audience for #glamarizing #abuse in the name of romance. This kind of content reaches every household and all age groups are watching it. They are portraying abuse between partners as a lover's quarrel, setting a trend. No, no ⛔️.... abuse is abuse, it should not be mistaken for anything else. We should not glamorize toxicity, regardless of which partner it comes from. Lastly, we should uphold the sanctity of the institution of marriage in our plays. #terebinnewepisode #terebin what a waste of a screen play that had a lot of potential.

An infidel woman: The scandalous “pink nighty” in ‘Meray paas tum ho’.

Two days back I woke up to see social media upset and demanding PEMRA to ban a play called “M erey paas tum ho ”. The lead actress was trolled for choosing the worst role of her life and much up-roar was made about a “ scandalous pink nighty ” in one of the episodes. Since I had not watched the play I rushed to YouTube to see what the hangaama was about. To my surprise the play had a typical storyline of a middle class government employee Danish (Humanyon Saeed)   with a pretty wife Mehwish (played by Aieza Khan) and a kid, struggling to make ends meet because he is naïve and honest. His wife on the other hand dreams of a better lifestyle with luxuries. A lovable family sets the picture perfect scene of the first episode, till the entry of a rich business man Shahwar played by none other than Adnan Siddiuqi. Shahwar spots Mehwish among common friends and finds her attractive and starts giving her compliments on her beauty, the over possessive husband finds the sitaution

Finally a happy ending for Pyare Afzal

For the past few days the social media is buzzing with the wedding news of Hamza Ali Abbasi of fame Pyare Afzal. Hamza started his career with TV and after doing a few projects moved to the big screen, he is not only famous for the work he did on screen but his claim to fame is from his extremely vocal socio-political and religious views especially on social media, he is seldom politically correct and gets a lot of bashing for his opinions. This week he was again in the news for posts about his wedding announcement to Naimal Khawaar. His long post about “Platonic Relationships” has been the topic  of the grape wine. His definition of Halal relationship was a bit bizarre and was so not needed in the wedding announcement.   Many bashed him for being self righteous or holier than thou. Some called it a publicity stunt, which often the people in the media are accused off.     On August 25 th  2019, the social media was again highlighting his beautiful wedding ceremony; the s

‘The spirit of a WOMAN’

On Sunday, my OCD kicked in and I decided to clean the house. To make cleaning a bit interesting I selected some old classics of Nayyara Noor. I played my favorite song Kabhi Hum bhie khoobsurat theye … … and held on to the magic mop with dear life. Nayyara’s with her soul searching voice sang the beautiful lyrics written by Ahmed Shamim, I could not help ponder upon the simplicity of emotions and the deep sadness  embedded    in the lyrics of this song. I have listen to it a 100 times before, but somehow with age, the meaning of many things have changed so drastically that even I am surprised myself. The song talks about the beauty of emotions more than the physicality of the beauty itself, it emphasizes on the spirit and the joy found in that jubilant spirit. Somehow beauty and age is such an important thing for women, I am not sure if it is a big issue for men also, as their age or beauty is never discussed. But for women it’s a stark reality, we often have t
