Parwarish is a drama airing on ARY Digital and it is beautifully depicting the struggles of Gen Z and their parents. The show can get stereotypical at a few points but it is largely a breath of fresh air and targeted towards the younger audience. Wali and Maya played by Samar Jafri and Aina Asif are all set to join a medical college. Their MDCAT aka Medical Test Entrance Exam was held and they both got through. MDCAT is among the most difficult competitive exams in Pakistan. The way it was portrayed has started a debate.
Many people have to go through multiple attempts in order to qualify the MDCAT. Our hero Wali from Parwarish however did it in a single night. This pissed off many viewers who have gone through this insane journey. They called out how an aspirant’s struggle was belittled by showing how this can be done in a single night. Meanwhile Maya was shown reading Grey’s Anatomy which is a book you study when you are already in a medical college and not for the entrance exam.
Viewers spoke about this and said Parwarish should have researched it a bit before showing it off this way. One said, ” I am a repeater and trust me it is not this easy.” Another point raised was how Maya was already reading Grey’s Anatomy for her pre-medical exam. One user wrote,”Don’t think of the audience to be this stupid. Why is she studying an Anatomy book for her pre-medical exam.” One netizen said, “They are making fun of a medical aspirant’s journey.” This is what was being said:
Some users also debated that Jehangir is the one who got Wali in through his contacts. He misused power and Wali has not actually passed the exam:
