Another episode, another topic worth bringing forth! Sadia Jabbar Productions’ web series ‘Shameless Proposals’ just brought to us the disturbing proposals and oh, what a brilliant way it has put forth their mentality! Written by Saji and Atlas and directed by Hunny Haroon, the episode puts light on how a girl’s parents in our society save up and collect valuables all their lives with their hard earned money, just to hand it all over at the end as dowry to the bloodsuckers who ‘accept’ it as payment for giving their daughter a place to live. Moreover, it does not really help that parents in our society genuinely believe it’s an actual right of the larka walas to demand for not just a dowry, but valuable gifts at every phase of the poor girl’s life until her last breath! And who are we to question this deeply ingrained, wonderfully ridiculous custom of our society?
