Nothing just

Dilsa koi kameena nahin

Koi to rokey, koi to tokey

Iss umar mein ab khaogey dhokhe

Dar lagta hai ishq karne mein ji..

Hala's Hamza or Rumi's Hamza?

The red flag and green flag tags have been going on social media for several months, but today, I came across a post comparing the Hamzas of Hala and Rami (played by the same actress- Hania Amir).

Both the onscreen pairs were loved by countless people but the opinions people had on both the Hamzas was quite different.

Now from a fictional point of view, Rumi's Hamza is definitely a dream come true for most. Betrayed by his lover, seeking revenge, marries the innocent protagonist yet never tolerates anyone disrespecting her, finally developed feelings for her, yet, he is exposed right before he comes clean before her, thus loosing his happily ever after with her. Now, the biggest plus of Hamza was how he sided with Rumi, not letting anyone disrespect her. And Hamza's entire family (except himself ) was a green forest. The biggest negative is him blackmailing Hanna, no matter what, it is actually creepy to blackmail another girl, especially the one with such a close bond to your wife, meeting her behind the family's back- it all equates to the person being not only a creep, but accept it or not- Hamza was emotionally cheating on Rumi, and hence, Rumi's reaction after knowing the truth is valid to me. Also, can't ignore the fact that Rumi was a green flag herself (except, maybe for her blindness to her sister's pain- which was too confusing by the way).

Now when it comes to Hala's Hamza. There were quite a few episodes where I got butterflies watching Hamza treat Hala as a queen. Now, the family has done quite a nice job of breaking Hala, and making her spineless and naive. So, Hala needed someone to make her realize her worth, someone who would introduce the world to her without belitting her, who could respect her and convince her that she is worth loving. And, Hamza did all that, he loved her, respected her, took a stand for her.

The negatives for Hamza start with his inability to believe that his mother is actually capable of harming not only Hala but also their unborn baby. This track never made sense in the drama, because it was left unadressed , so I leave it at that.

Now, coming to the entire Khurram fiasco, I believe that Hamza's disappointment and insecurity and anger stem from the fact that Hala hid her past from him. Had Khurram remained just that, I don't think his reaction would be this big, but imagine, your wife's ex is infront of her, is a part of her present and would be a part of their future, wouldn't it be fair for him to know it from his wife rather than having to witness it. Secondly, hadn't he provided enough security and trust to her that she could approach him and let him know about anything. While we can see Hala's scars, can no one see the scar Hala has left on Hamza with her move. Now, the second negative in Hala's Hamza, is having to deal with his scars, he wasn't that great and inflicted more pain and stress on Hala, especially since she was pregnant and about to be a mother.

A lesson from both the dramas- the past that affects your future will never be just that, it will haunt you everyday, hence communicate with your partner and navigate the murky waters of life accordingly. No love is unconditional - if you hurt someone, be ready to face the consequences.

While Hala's Hamza wins more points than Rumi's Hamza, it is actually Rumi that I completely adore. Now, I'm left wanting a cross between Rumi and Hamza (from MH). What about you? Which Hamza is your favourite ?

Queerness in Indian Media

↳Film: DEDH ISHQIYA (2014, Hindi) dir. ABHISHEK CHAUBEY

Dedh Ishqiya is a dark comedy which follows two criminals, Khalu (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi), who decide to con a widowed noblewoman, Begum Para (Madhuri Dixit). Unbeknownst to them, Begum Para has got a plan of her own: find a rich suitor, swindle him out of his money, then run away with her maid, Muneera (Huma Qureshi), with whom she is in love. The womens' plan takes several alarming turns, but ultimately Begum Para and Muneera are able to trick Khalu and Babban, elope together, and live happily ever after.

The lesbian relationship is loosely based off of Ismat Chughtai's 1942 short story Lihaaf, which was an extremely controversial story in British colonial India for its allusions to sexuality and lesbianism, and which resulted in the author being called for an obscenity trial. The short story includes abusive and pedophilic elements which Dedh Ishqiya does away with; instead, Begum Para and Muneera's relationship is one of mutual love between adults.

Abhishek Chaubey discusses his films, including how he came to include the "lesbian strain" in Dedh Ishqiya and how "learned friends" helped him with coding the relationship, here

The actress Madhuri Dixit has been in multiple gay and gay-coded media, both as a supportive character and as the gay character herself. She has also been supportive in real life of the LGBTQ community.
