In the latest really messed up development of ‘Tere Bin’ it turns out that Meerab, Murtasim did it consensually

We all know that the latest act in the cesspool that is the Pakistani drama circus was the controversial promo of ‘Tere Bin’ which aired last week. The trailer implied that female lead Meerab (played by Yumna Zaidi) was raped by her husband Murtasim (played by Wahaj Ali). Twitter users were shocked, tagging the actors, production staff and even the writer, Nooran Makhdoom herself, to criticise the development as deeply misogynist and horrifying. But then, instead of reassuring the audience, Makhdoom decided to fan the flames even more with controversial statements given to Arab News, defending the marital rape by saying that it has been going on for a long time on Pakistani screens. Mmmm.. still not a good reason though. Finally, the episode has aired and it turns out, the sex was not rape. It was consensual. Yes, you read that right. We are dragged through the first agonizing 15 minutes of Mariam’s marriage, and her reluctance to open her heart, yada yada. And then we are reluc...

Twitter weighs in on the times movies and dramas downgraded from the originals

Do you feel like sometimes the entertainment industry should maybe stop tearing apart masterpiece films by remaking them over and over again?
