Geo Entertainment’s drama serial ‘Aey Musht E Khak’ has been under discussion on social media for the past few days, a lot of questions are being raised about the characters and behaviors illustrated in it.
In one episode of the drama, the main character Mustejab (Feroz Khan) strangles his ex-girlfriend Shiza (Nimrah Khan) and grabs her by the throat and drags her on the sofa. This scene has sparked a debate over whether Pakistani drama is showing violence against women as a common thing in society.
A lot of people bashed the drama makers and said that such narratives are ruining the society and normalizing such behaviors in society by continuous imitation on the television.
Feroz Khan and Sana Javed are playing the lead roles in this drama. Feroze Khan has been portrayed as a perverted, stubborn, egoistic and non religious atheistic man who falls in love with Dua (Sana Javed) and marries her. In the play, Dua (Sana Javed) is playing the role of a religious and loving girl who is attached to religion and its teachings.
Netizens have scrutinized two scenes of the drama. In one scene the main lead Mustajab was criticized when he was shown un aware of the essence of the Holy Month of Ramadan. Secondly, fans lashed out at Feroze Khan’s violent scene with Nimra Khan.
Defending the story of the drama, the director Ahsun Talish said, “I am getting a great response to this drama but some people are not understanding the subject. This is the story of an infidel.

Doesn’t a British man kill his wife in Europe, women there are also beaten”. ‘ This When asked, warning messages are put up in violent scenes abroad, he replied, “we do not give warnings, here people are very sensible”.
“If we reflect society, you say we normalize things, it is as normal as you drive a car to your office,” he said. This is also what happens in society. It is called ‘Manjan’ in common language, so take this drama as a story.
