So far, the channel has aired five episodes of Goonj, and each episode has garnered around one million views. In the recent episode, Zainab was constantly harassed and taunted by Nabeel while at work. Nabeel made her feel uncomfortable, and when she went to the HR department to file a complaint, the HR representative dismissed her concerns, saying, “It’s Nabeel’s habit, he is always like this, so bear with it.” Here is the scene from drama serial Goonj:
Goonj viewers are deeply upset with the makers for showing a scenario where an HR person, who holds a big responsibility, is not taking women’s complaints seriously and is instead defending a harasser in the workplace. One viewer wrote, “This HR representative needs to be fired as soon as possible, she isn’t doing her job properly.” Another commented, “This drama has started giving me blood pressure.” A fan wrote, “Does the writer even know what’s happening here? HR department rules are always very strict; they never accept such behaviour.” Another stated, “So Zarnab should quietly bear everything and not complain, only because it’s a drama?” Read the comments:
