The uber popular ‘Mannat Murad’ is Geo’s latest hit with a fervent following. People are especially invedted because it stars Iqra Aziz and Talha Chahour together, both firm fan favourites.
The show is about problems in a big family and how sometimes people end up in marriages they didn’t really want. A preview for the next episode has everyone talking. Murad slaps Mannat to make his mom happy, and then Mannat slaps him back.
Yes, you read that right.
The scene has generated a lot of buzz on social media.
Here is how people are reacting to Murad and Mannat slapping each other:
Some celebrated Mannat standing up for herself and wished it would happen in real life.
Reality of how unforgiving society is towards women, making 100 excuses for men, regardless of “class.” Murad hits Mannat, it’s acceptable. She hits him, he’s disgraced. Mannat’s own family is equally appalled. #MannatMurad highlights troubling double standards. #PakistaniDramas pic.twitter.com/OoCLetXXUe

One of the drama which seriously needs to be checked before airing is #MannatMurad .. what a girl was Mannat before marriage and what Murad has made her ..

Violence is sadly a common sight in Pakistani dramas, and often, it’s women who bear the brunt of it. While we don’t endorse violence, it was a relief to witness a woman standing up for herself.
It’s crucial to understand that violence doesn’t solve problems, and it’s wrong no matter who is involved.
It will be intriguing to see how ‘Mannat Murad’ addresses this issue and whether Mannat will be treated the same way male characters typically are when they resort to violence against their wives.
