DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know the Indian soap opera Qubool Hai means “I accept”? This television series focused on the Muslim community. Actually, it was created to dispel stereotypes on the Islam religion particularly its traditions. And because of that, the series has been credited for pioneering Muslim oriented programming in the Indian television. But, the chemistry of Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Jyoti was said to be the reason for the show's success. This is despite its interesting story which brought the life of a Muslim family and how their cultural values changed over time.

Even with its success, the show has faced controversies. In 2013, the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council has ordered Zee TV to show warning notices on the screen while on air. This was because torture and excessive violence against women were aired on the show. In one of its episodes, it showed a woman being tortured by her in-laws by suffocating her using a plastic bag. In defense, Zee TV claimed they were not trying to glorify any kind of domestic abuse. They only shot the scene to create some drama element. Furthermore, there were also accidents during the filming of the show. In 2014, a filming set of the show caught fire, thankfully, there was no loss of life. Jyoti also had a minor accident after he accidentally cut her wrist while filming. Sadly, the series has already ended after three years of running on air. But you can still watch Qubool Hai online.
