As a writer, I have always liked Haseena Moin. Why? Even in 70s and
80s, she broke many stereotypes portrayed in form of her characters. In
"Shehzori", she portrayed Neelofar Abbasi as an outspoken bahu. In
Tanhaiyan, she showed Faraan sahib getting interested in Zoobi (Badar
Khalil) who was a khala of two young girls. She portrayed that marriage was
possible and could happen at any time in life. She was kind of also
against typical arranged marriages where mother or sister of boy go and
select the girl. Faraan rejected the unknown girl selected by Aapa Begum
(Azra Sherwani). The next stereotyped broken was money more important
than relationships. A house of cement was not important for Zara but
people around her were more important. The drama "AnKahi" broke some
stereotypes too. Dr. Fouzia was a divorcee and she proposed Mamu (Salim
Nasir) herself. Again something which is considered very odd in some
families today. Dhoop Kinare was about adopted relationships. Adopted
kid (Ahmar) was always insecure about himself. Staying decent and
graceful, without any exposure or item songs, Haseena Moin broke all
these stereotypes in form of her characters.
These days when I see dramas, I don't find any strong message reflected or any stereotype being broken in them. Instead, these days, dramas are more focused towards extra marital relationships or second wife thingy. No strong message there.
Message of Ankahi: Money isn't everything.
Message of Tanhaiyan: Relationships are more important then houses..
I don't see any great message in dramas these days....
