zindagi gulzar hai has soured soooo much for me over the years lmao. kashaf as a character was so interesting from the outset but to see her have to be the one to make concessions constantly in order for her relationships to survive or for her mistrust of people and subsequent loneliness to resolve itself got to be so depressing at some point when coupled with how little umera actually bothered to question the society that surrounded kashaf. the fact that zaroon never truly made an effort to understand her or internally question why she acted a certain way and simply idealized his marriage with her bc she was conservative and not flashy was so.. and i have even worse problems with durr e shahwar! one of my parents’ favorite dramas i think bc the letters between durr e shahwar and her father made them really emotional but to see her have to bite her tongue and just wait for things to resolve themselves if she was compliant enough truly broke my heart. i know she had her quite rebellions with her husband too but it’s still a really painful series to watch in retrospect and i hate that recycled idea of women conceding to make a relationship survive that populates so much of umera’s work (which is ironic considering the existence of those other dramas you listed, daam and kankar in particular)

in general that is i think something i really dislike both zindagi gulzar hai and humsafar for repopularizing. there’s this tendency to romanticize women who are “strong” bc they withstand all of the suffering in their marriage and come out alright at the other end, but where does it lead us really? we’re popularizing a whole litany of dramas where women are chained to those traditional expectations regardless of how horribly they’re treated or misunderstood in their marriage. and interestingly, i’m not sure if you kept up with kuch ankahi, but i was so surprised to see how many people complained about saif and samiya’s marriage bc i feel like it addressed that exact phenomenon really well. that saif was actually explored in depth and given background to explain his own cowardice without removing accountability from him; that we saw samiya try to be compliant only to realize that compliance doesn’t actually make a marriage and she deserved better; that she stood her ground on separating and made saif have to do the work to start to win her back if he really wanted to, and as a friend first on top of that. i loved it! i don’t think anyone is opposed to marriages having problems, but it’d be nice to see more balanced exploration where not just women are held accountable from start to finish, and i really appreciate kuch ankahi for tackling that. in general i feel like it was a drama that acted a lot more mercifully towards its female characters than umera ahmed dramas typically do so the occasional comparisons people made to umera ahmed characters struck me as a little odd lol

I remember back when the show was on air the PRIMARY reason Kashaf resonated with me was because of how vocal she was in her dislike for her father. it wasn't something we get a lot. the relationship between a father and daughter in most desi households is always so much more complicated and Pakdramas only show a tiny facet of it. Kashaf and Murtaza's dynamic in the earlier episodes of the drama is something that I still haven't seen other dramas do. sure, ZGH as a drama hasn't aged really well considering how blatantly forgiving the show is of Zaroon's misogyny and how there's just no growth or resolution of that and the show just ends on this weird note where all of the serious problems in their relationship are just brushed under the rug as "oh she's just being silly~" instead of being actual barriers to their long term happiness. Zindagi aise hi nahin gulzar bhayee. all the compromises came in Kashaf's account while Zaroon continued to roam scotfree because in UA's world, characters like Zaroon are never the wrong ones because the way they uphold patriarchy is for the women's benefit and not just theirs.

the criticism against ZGH are valid and they were there back when the show was onair as well. but i feel a decade later..the issues become more glaringly obvious because the rose tinted filter of the Fawad-Sanam chemistry has lost its effect so we can see the show for what it was actually trying to say more clearly now.

DeS toh I didn't like when it was on air because of how it much it focused on the women being the sole person in the relationship to compromise as a wife and as a daughter in law. the ultimate lesson of the show really was just "hey..quietly suffer in silence for some time and then you'll definitely get the reward!" not something I particularly support but I could see how this hope for reward resonated with the women around me. so many of women either had to suffer what Shehwar suffered in the early years of their marriages or they were still suffering to this day so this idea of light at the end of the tunnel is became something they clung to for their own sanity and peace. the idea of the end to the troubles is what keep us going anyway. so yeah..i don't support it but I get its appeal.

I didn't watch any of KA to add anything to your point but I do agree that in PakDramas the narrative always 10/10 puts the onus of makign a relationship work on the women. the success and failure of a marriage is always due to women even if we see the husbands being disloyal or unappreciative of the marriage. by all teachings of religion that our society is supposedly built on, marriage is supposed to be an equal partnership between two people where both husband and wife are meant to ensure the happiness and peace of each other. but since our culture only seeks to benefit men, their part is almost always downplayed. by any chance we get a good husband toh we still see that marriage suffer because happy marriages just cannot exist in our dramas. problems exist in aLL marriages, we know. but dramas mein jo problems hain woh toh matlab bass tabahi level hi ki hoti hain jo lifetime ka trauma de den.

not defending KRQ here at all but i think what he did with the ladies of Mera Naam Yousuf Hai is something that I haven't seen happen in a lot of dramas. specially in the character and ending for Afia Khatoon (Hina Bayat). she was in an unhappy marriage with Noor Mohammad and it was evident that despite like 25+ years of their marriage, she never loved the man. and when things came to an end, it was Afia who walked away with her freedom and dignity while Noor Mohammad was left with nothing. THAT was the kind of justice given to the right characters that other dramas cower away from. at least in MNYH KRQ's writing completely sided with the women as one of the central themes of the drama was a woman's right to choose for themselves and how it's wrong to strip away that right from them. Zulekha's fight was never for Yousuf but just for her right to choose, to either accept or reject, and to do it without being pressured into it. Afia got divorce from Noor Mohammad when it became abundantly clear that the man basically cheated on her all his life. the drama showed a woman who was a mother of three reclaim her maiden name as her the only identity she wanted for herself. marriages without loyalty and respect between spouses should end regardless of them being 25 years old or 2 years.
