Now that is a getaway from the regular portrayal of the bahus as the damsels in distress.
Star Plus’ popular show Naamkaran has all the viewers hooked onto the show big time. While everyone is loving the knok-jhok between Avni (Aditi Rathore) and Neil (Zain Imam), there is something on the cards which will have the viewers like Neil as he stands up for his lady love.
The Scene:
The scene is set with Neil’s grandmother (Neelu Kohli) fiercely looking towards the duo of Neil and Avni, followed by the former throwing away some photographs right on their faces. All this while, Avni stands right there, with her head bent low. As the photographs fall on the ground, the focus shifts onto them.
And, they turn out to be pictures of Avni hugging Ali (Gautam Vig). While the duo stand there in silence, Bebe shouts at them, asking for answers. But, even before Avni could answer, Neil speaks up for her and denies her any answers.
Cut to, he questions her as to why is it always the WOMEN who are answerable in such situations?
The scene ends with Neil taking Avni’s hand in his and walking away.
What we liked:
Neil’s stand here is so fierce and upright that we can actually feel a gush of emotions. In total contrast to what we generally see in saas-bahu dramas, the man here actually takes a stand for his wife, not letting her become a subject of humiliation.
His stance and the scene has not only been portrayed beautifully but has also managed to send another message of the Nayi Soch rightfully.
Do you think it was a perfectly encapsulated ‘Sahi Hai’ moment?
