“This is how Bollywood has raised a generation, Present violent heroes, make girls believe that a man who runs after them consistently is a LOVING man and get applause. This is dangerous. Toxic. A man who runs after you even after you have said NO is a red fag.Never settle for that man.” 

 

Nemrah Ahmed took to her Instagram to call out the ‘shameless’ media. The renowned writer also called out Feroze Khan as he plays physically abusive hero in his every second drama. She also expressed her disappointment over the audience applauding such characters. 

 

The internationally acclaimed writer further explained what is wrong with ‘Pakistani Dramas toxic hero culture?’

“A wealthy and handsome playboy keeps pursuing a middle class girl. He kidnaps her, stalks her, abuses her, shouts at her, physically assaults her but he is still the hero. In the end the hero wins over the girl. That is where these dramas end. Love wins. They call it ishq.”

Media has a massive influence on the mind of public showing such type of violent and abusive scenes can effect the thinking process of public and encourage the young generation to copy this kind of attitude. Extolling and idealizing such character can damage the norms  of a society and cases like Noor Muqqadam and zahir Jaffar come out  in the end.

“They pursue Noor Muqaddams and they don’t let go of them. On one side we are fighting against Zahir Jaffar’s and on the other side we are glorifying these narcissistic men?”
