So to show the pattern, I repeated the same line that Mahira\u2019s to-be-husband says in the beginning. The \u2018Maheen, have you lost your mind?\u2019 was a set pattern and the person who rewatches the film will understand that layer.

You can say no, show courage, but the abused will break. My character is more realistic that way, she doesn&#8217;t become emotionless. Why do women continue to stay in abusive relationships? It&#8217;s not like women are only scared of the consequences. They\u2019re also in love with their abusers, that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s a toxic relationship. You can have a courageous moment to stand up for yourself but you\u2019ll end up breaking the next minute because you don&#8217;t know life without that man. That is why you\u2019ve been tolerating the violence. It doesn&#8217;t take a brave woman to stand up for herself, it just takes momentary courage.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also addressed how domestic abuse or partner abuse isn&#8217;t limited to just men.

But Pakistani men aren\u2019t allowed to cry and when they\u2019re not allowed to feel pain and cry, then the man becomes an animal and then beats the women up. I\u2019m not justifying it but it happens this way.
