Mansha Pasha in her response said that a piece of fiction shouldn’t be judged on the basis of morality of its characters.

It is a story.
The industry produces a wide variety of dramas and at the end of the day it is an entertainment industry.
Did you search for morality in Game of Thrones? In Hannibal? In You?
A drama needs to be well written and its characters shud be interesting. End of. https://t.co/0dckkjyEWd

Her observations about the show sparked the debate online.

Entertainment or not, media shapes our worldview and people who create such content have responsibility and need to be aware of the type of messages they are giving, esp on topics that are already widely misunderstood by a large number of people here in our country.

You got it wrong, Mansha. Prime time media shapes the opinions in the society so they are responsible for balanced views. Every other drama on TV is bashing women, imagine how brains of 10 years old kids watching these dramas are shaping up.

“You got it wrong, Mansha. Prime time media shapes the opinions in the society so they are responsible for balanced views. Every other drama on TV is bashing women, imagine how brains of ten-year-old kids watching these dramas are shaping up,” another tweeted.

The actress agreed with the point that content can influence people’s mind to some extent. However she added that stories with a sense of social responsibility shouldn’t be obligatory and hence should be a writer’s own choice.

There is an influence yes. But as i argued before, morality should be on the discretion of the makers. Many kinds of stories should be allowed to make it to screen and the watcher should be able to discern what to follow.
The audience isnt a mindless zombie. https://t.co/ovQiBuh0u3
