Ali Safina Calls Out Pakistani Writers Over Deteriorating Content

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A
  • Bad content fails to engage and captivate viewers, leading to a lack of interest and investment.
  • It leaves viewers feeling dissatisfied and disappointed, eroding trust in content creators.
  • Poor-quality content may perpetuate harmful stereotypes, normalize toxic behavior, and hinder personal growth and intellectual development.

Despite Pakistani television dramas experiencing high television ratings and garnering significant views on YouTube, there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of content over the past few years by Pakistani writers.

Nowadays, the majority of dramas heavily rely on repetitive love triangles and conflicts between sisters, often incorporating toxic elements in approximately 99% of the scripts.

Despite the repeated expression of concerns regarding this issue, little action has been taken to address it.

Ali Safina, a seasoned actor with a long-standing career in the industry, recently made an appearance on the talk show ‘Fuchsia’ where he shed light on the truth behind Pakistani drama writers.

During the interview, he disclosed that scripts are frequently created by content teams, which highlights the deteriorating state of writing in the industry and the reasons behind this troubling trend. Safina’s insights drew attention to the worrisome situation surrounding the quality of scripts in the Pakistani drama industry.

According to Ali Safina, a substantial number of Pakistani drama writers work collaboratively in teams and simply modify old stories by assigning different names to them. Furthermore, he revealed that dramas are often filmed with only 7-8 episodes written, leaving writers with inadequate time and resources to develop a coherent script.

Safina further divulged that writers are not appropriately compensated for their work, leading to the production of substandard scripts. However, he noted that some writers have managed to produce high-quality dramas for Green Entertainment due to the more generous remuneration they receive from the production company.

Impact of Content on Viewers

Poor-quality content has a significant impact on viewers. When audiences are exposed to bad content, it can lead to various negative consequences and experiences.

Firstly, bad content fails to engage and captivate viewers. It lacks the ability to connect emotionally or intellectually with the audience, resulting in a lack of interest or investment in the storyline or characters. As a result, viewers may lose interest quickly, switch channels, or abandon the content altogether. This lack of engagement can be frustrating for viewers who seek compelling and thought-provoking content.

Secondly, bad content can leave viewers feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. When viewers invest their time and attention in a show or series, they expect to be entertained, informed or moved in some way.

However, poor-quality content often fails to deliver on these expectations, leaving viewers with a sense of wasted time and a negative viewing experience. Such disappointment can erode trust and credibility in the content creator or broadcaster.

Thirdly, bad content may perpetuate harmful stereotypes, reinforce negative social norms, or promote toxic behaviour. When content relies on repetitive and formulaic storylines, it limits the representation of diverse perspectives and experiences.

This can lead to the reinforcement of stereotypes and the marginalization of certain groups. Additionally, if toxic elements, such as unhealthy relationships or aggressive behaviour, are prevalent in the content, it can negatively influence viewers’ perceptions and attitudes, potentially normalizing harmful behaviours.

Lastly, exposure to bad content can hinder personal growth and intellectual development. High-quality content has the power to inspire, challenge, and broaden viewers’ perspectives. It can introduce new ideas, spark critical thinking, and facilitate meaningful conversations.

In contrast, poor-quality content often lacks depth, originality, and intellectual stimulation. It may provide shallow narratives or rely on clichés, inhibiting viewers’ ability to engage with complex themes or expand their knowledge.

Overall, bad content not only fails to entertain and engage viewers but also has the potential to leave them dissatisfied, reinforce harmful stereotypes, and hinder personal growth. It is crucial for content creators, broadcasters, and industry stakeholders to prioritize quality and strive to produce content that respects and enhances the viewer’s experience.

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A
  • Pakistani drama serial ‘Tere Bin’ gains global popularity with high ratings and YouTube trending.
  • 5 plot twists keep viewers hooked, including Murtasim’s unexpected marriage, an affair between Maryam and Malik Zubair, controversy surrounding an alleged marital rape scene, Murtasim’s sudden loss of eyesight, and the search for Meerab.

Pakistani drama serial ‘Tere Bin’ has made headlines not only within the country but also globally. Conquering the rating chart on TV and trending on YouTube, the show starring Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali has become a guilty pleasure for many.

All-in-all the drama has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, with its ups and downs, there were a lot of things we all loved and hated about Tere Bin at the same time.

Today, we’ll share not one or two but 5 situations that were complete plot twists and made sure we kept to the edge of our seats!

5 All-Time Tere Bin Plot-Twists

Before we jump in any further, we think the biggest plot-twist is:

1. Murtasim Wed Haya

The biggest plot-twist is Murtasim saying yes to Haya,  but,  will Meerab return with their son in time to stop it?

Well,  we’ll have to wait a few more episodes to find out

2. Maryam & Malik Zubair’s Affair

Revenge is dark, yet it gives satisfaction that maybe no other deed can. Murtasim and Malik Zubair aka Anas are mortal enemies, we have seen the rivalry from episode one. However, no one would have thought that he would be cunning enough to trap Murtasim’s sister in a honey pot, and get her to elope with him, which for those of you who have not seen the drama, SHE DOES!

affair

3. ‘Alleged’ Marital Rape

there Bin went more viral than usual because of how users were furious about how the writers, actors, producers and directors had agreed to show an alleged marital rape scene between Murtasim and Meerab, however, due to the pressure, they had to change the episode, to make it seem that it wasn’t rape but a consensual act.

4. Murtasim’s Weak Eye-Sight

The most illogical and serious twist to the latest Tere Bin episode was none other than Murtasim being sightless to the extent that he could not read Meerab’s name on a pharmacy prescription, that can confirm she is pregnant.

5. One Woman vs. An Entire City

Murtasim is influential and comes from a powerful family, we have seen that he has the means and the people to conduct a proper search for Meerub, despite that, he or his men and unable to trace a young woman without money or power, who is also expecting, that too running barefoot most of the time.

Tere Bin Ep. 47: Social Media Reacts to Controversial Episode on Marital Rape

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A
  • Pakistani drama serial Tere Bin released a highly controversial episode, but it had a twist that deviated from expectations.
  • The promo suggested the possibility of marital rape or abuse, but the actual episode revealed a consensual relationship between the characters.
  • The episode received significant backlash on social media, with differing opinions on the portrayal and handling of sensitive topics.

Pakistani drama serial Tere Bin has finally rolled out the super controversial episode we all had been waiting for, and as expected, it had a twist. Before we go on, let’s recap what happened in Tere Bin.

The episode’s promo showed an angry Murtasim closing the door and then Meerab crying sitting next to the bed and he emotional on the bed. This scene implements that either Murtasim lost control and abused his wife or committed marital rape.

With Haya’s dialogues following, we can tell that what happened was probably not consensual. However, after receiving major backlash from the internet and a call to ban the show, the episode was the opposite.

The episode did not have marital rape, the relationship that both Meerab and Murtasim had was indeed consensual and because they ‘could not control themselves’ both of them fell in their own eyes (hence the crying and breaking of mirrors).

Moreover, the transitions and continuous voice-overs also give away that the episode was dubbed and edited to avoid the public’s backlash.

Social Media Reacts to the Controversial Episode

Here’s how social media reacted to the episode:

Tere Bin Writer Defends Controversial R*pe Scene, “Was Necessary to Build the Show’s Climax”

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A
  • Tere Bin shocks viewers with an unexpected marital ra*e scene.
  • The episode sparks a divided response among fans, with some justifying the act as deserved, while others criticize the portrayal and promotion of marital rape.
  • Writer Nooran Makhdoom defends the scene, stating it was necessary for the storyline and encourages viewers to wait for the entire story to unfold before passing judgment.

Fan-favourite drama serial Tere Bin took an unexpected turn, and fans are shocked! They are still not able to believe that their beloved Muratism (Wahaj Ali) had ra*ped his on-screen wife Meerab(Yumna Zaidi).

In the episode before the rape scene, we see Meerab slap him and even spit on his face, after which he loses his cool, half of the fans say that he had been patient long enough and she deserved it, while the other half say showing and promoting marital ra*e is WORNG.

On the other hand, Tere Bin writer Nooran Makhdoom says that the ra*e was necessary to show as it was the demand of the script, “It’s a situation which was the demand of the serial that will lead to the climax.”

Moreover, she added that  “If the audience isn’t getting it, I can’t change it,” she continued. “It’s just a drama. They should wait for the entire story to unfold instead of taking issue with every episode.”

The writer went on to add that neither the content team nor the production house objected to the new storyline. “It’s not like this has happened onscreen for the first time,” she added.  “It’s just that this project has received such wide recognition that people reacted strongly to the recent twist.”

She stands by the scene and the script. “If you speak of my social responsibility, I created a story and I stand by it,” she told the publication. “And this is not an unusual occurrence; it has happened before.”

Here, Makhdoom was referring to drama serials like Imran Ashraf and Iqra Aziz’s popular venture, Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, which too was highly criticised for including marital ra*e in the show.

Social Media Reaction to Tere Bin

Fan Theory

Some fans have suggested that the ra*e does not take place, it is possible that Meerab and Murtasim get into an argument in which they both express their true feelings and then Meerab finds out that Rohail has passed away. Both of them go into shock and are unable to process their feelings.

We have yet to see what is the fate of the drama serial Tere Bin.

Drama Serial Tere Bin Receives Massive Backlash Over Physical Abuse

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A

In recent weeks, the drama serial “Tere Bin” has garnered significant attention, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

Viewers and critics alike have expressed their deep concern over the portrayal of physical abuse within the show. This controversial content has sparked outrage and a heated debate on the ethical responsibility of media in shaping societal norms.

In the most recent episode, we see Yumna Zaidi (Meerab) slap Wahaj Ali (Murtasim) due to some misunderstandings, and because that was apparently not enough, she even spits on his face as well, which ultimately makes him angrier.

Now pissed off, the start of Tere Bin pushes his wife and walks towards the door, shutting it, and with pure anguish in his eyes, viewers know this means he is most likely going to ‘teach her a lesson’.

Understanding the Backlash on Tere Bin

The backlash against “Tere Bin” stems from its portrayal of physical abuse between characters. Many viewers have expressed their distress, citing the harmful effects such content can have on vulnerable individuals, particularly those who may have experienced abuse in their own lives. Social media platforms have been flooded with discussions and hashtags, and some are even calling to boycott the show, highlighting the seriousness of the matter.

The Role of Media and Responsibility

As creators of media content, we firmly believe in the power and influence that our work can wield. It is our moral obligation to use this influence responsibly and with great care. Content creators have the ability to shape public opinion, challenge societal norms, and foster empathy and understanding. However, when handled irresponsibly, media can perpetuate harmful stereotypes, glorify violence, and trivialize important issues such as domestic abuse.

The Importance of Sensitivity

Sensitive topics like physical abuse demand thoughtful and delicate handling. It is crucial to strike a balance between entertainment and social responsibility. Creators have a responsibility to accurately depict the consequences of such actions, emphasizing the harm they cause rather than romanticizing or normalizing them. By doing so, they can educate viewers about the realities of abuse and promote empathy, compassion, and positive change.

Impact on Society

Media plays a significant role in shaping societal attitudes and behaviours. When television shows or other forms of media portray abusive relationships without contextualizing the harm caused, it can contribute to the normalization of violence and perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes. This can have far-reaching consequences, including the perpetuation of cycles of abuse and a negative impact on real-life relationships.

Addressing the Issue

It is essential for the creators of “Tere Bin” to listen to the concerns of their audience and take appropriate action. Engaging in a constructive dialogue with viewers, advocacy groups, and experts in the field of domestic violence can help facilitate a better understanding of the issue and enable the development of more responsible content. By actively addressing these concerns, content creators can demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility and foster a safer and more inclusive media environment.

Promoting Positive Change

While the controversy surrounding “Tere Bin” is deeply troubling, it also presents an opportunity for positive change. By using this incident as a catalyst for dialogue and awareness, we can collectively work towards a more responsible and empathetic media landscape. It is crucial for content creators, producers, and broadcasters to take a proactive stance in advocating for positive messaging and responsible storytelling, ensuring that harmful content is not perpetuated.

Why ‘Tere Bin’ Should NOT Take the Cliche ‘Shaq’ Route

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A

Pakistani drama ‘Tere Bin’ starring Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali has been in the spotlight for a while now for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, the sizzling love-hate chemistry between the leads has everyone enticed. It is really nice to see that Murtasim (Wahaj Ali) has a softie hidden inside his hard shell.

The second time around ‘Tere Bin’ was compared to an Indian show called ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Dun’ which was also a major success. In the Indian show, the leads also have a hard time seeing each other eye-to-eye until they finally fell for one another.

Then came along Zee Music which tried to take copyright claims over Tere Bin’s OST claiming that it is originally theirs and is composed by Shani Arshad and a copy of the song Thukra Ke Mera Pyar.

Of course, we can’t leave out the famous Shawl that is not being sold online too!

Last but not the least, the drama serial has once again become the talk of the tow, but this time the topic is a bit different. For those of you who haven’t been following the TV show, Murtasim (Wahaj Ali) is married to Yumna Zaidi’s character.

However, he has a cousin, Haya (Sabeena Farooq) who lives with him and has always been head over heels for him, believing that his wife is not good enough and can never understand his needs as she can.

So, as a vamp would usually do, she creates certain circumstances which have started to create a rift between Murtasim and Meerab (Yumna Zaidi).

Why ‘Tere Bin’ Should Steer Clear of Cliche ‘Doubt’ Narrative

We have seen the classic and cliche ‘mujhe shaq hai’ scenario time and time again, however, it is important for the cast and crew of Tere Bin to open their eyes to something extremely important.

The drama is a hit and now a major sensation with hundreds of thousands of viewers following and talking about it, but, showing misunderstandings that turn ugly and chaotic is feeding the wrong message to the masses.

Television is the biggest method of communication, because of the frequency of content being consumed through it and online, Pakistanis are highly influenced by content, especially the youth.

Show such sensitive topics with serious consequences should be portrayed in a very sensitive manner. We understand that this part is crucial for the story to move forth, but we do request all directors and producers be mindful of the impact it has on countless families.

Tere Bin Drama Review: A Concoction of Egos, Narcissism and Misogyny

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A

A new drama serial ‘Tere Bin’ has been making rounds on social media. Now 4 episodes in, the drama has been trending in the top 3 positions on YouTube, so what makes it that popular?

The Cast

The drama has a solid cast including the leads Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali along with Bushra Ansari, Sohail Sameer, Sabeena Farooq, Hira Soomro, Fazila Qazi and Farhan Aly Agha.

The Story

The story revolves around Meerab (Yumna Zaidi), a fun, social, and outgoing Karachiite who wants to pursue law. She loves her parents and cannot stand any injustice. We also see Murtasim (Wahaj Ali) who is the complete opposite. To him his (his family’s) respect is everything, he has a conservative mindset and has been brought up to take over the family throne.

It doesn’t take long to piece together that both of the leads absolutely dislike one another, while Meerab thinks Murtasim is self-centred and arrogant, he also thinks of her as wild, disrespectful and unbearable. Moving into the episodes, we can also feel a sense of helplessness from Meerab’s parents who want to give her the whole world but are bounded by Murtasim’s family.

Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha Drama Review: Cringe, Cringe & More Cringe

Throughout the videos, it is very evident that Meerab despises the family, and considers the home a prison. She thinks women are nothing but prisoners who are forced to obey the men of the household and have no life of their own.

Murtasim’s mother, Begum Khanum (Bushra Ansari) and her brother-in-law do not want Meerab to take law because a cultured girl is not someone who goes to court according to them. While discussing her future, they decide the best way control her is to get her married off.

On Meerab’s birthday, without asking for her consent, Begum Khanum announces that she has selected Meerab for her son. After this announcement, Meerab is in utter shock, and so is Murtasim because everyone knows they cannot tolerate each other. Moreover, he tells his mother that she has to take back her decision because it is his life and she has no right to make this decision for him. Both Meerab and Murtasim tell their families that no matter what happens, they will not tie the knot.

The Verdict

Rating: (4/5)

The chemistry between both the actors is sizzling. The hate between the two is what gives the audience the pleasure of watching the show because it is only enhancing the chemistry. While it was obvious that the solution to ‘control’ Meerab would be to marry her, it was also obvious that it would be Murtasim who would be the scapegoat.

Despite their hatred towards each other, will Meerab and Murtasim accept their true feelings or will the dynamics of ego and self-respect force them to stay apart?

Find out in the next episode. Until then, stay tuned to WOW360.
