Yes, it's painful to see, but I don't think it's as uncommon as we think. And painful as it is, it's necessary as the setup for the rest of the drama. It provides a backdrop and an emotional depth to what happens between Pat and Pran. It's as if they are (figuratively speaking) standing on either side of the Berlin Wall. All their friends are out for blood as soon as they see each other. Pran can bring Wai or any of his other friends home, but never Pat, and vice versa.
So I have two questions. Why are Pat's friends and Pran's friends always fight? And what's with the hate? I really…
As for the friend groups, I think this is just traditional rivalry between the Engineering and Architecture faculties. They are young, stupid and hotheaded and full of testosterone and once they've butted heads, it turns into a kind of feud. It's probably a coincidence that Pat and Pran happen to be the leaders of each gang, but it certainly makes it even harder for them to be close.
I don't see a point in picking a definitive side of the ''good guy'' when clearly both MLs are wrong in their…
Hi Bye, I'm sorry to hear that you too experienced bullying. Nobody should have to experience that.
My comment wasn't specifically addressing you, though I admit that I was triggered by what I saw as an attempt to trivialise and even excuse bullying in your comment. But I shouldn't have worded it the way I did and for that I apologise.
I would however like to point out (again, not specifically directed to you, although it does concern something you said) that having been bullied does not preclude bullying others in turn. Again, not saying this is something you have done, just that many people have experienced both, often without being aware of it, since being the perpetrator doesn't cause hurt and trauma in the same way as being the victim does. Many bullies, when confronted years later, don't even remember the incidents, while they have left indelible scars on the people they bullied. It's also very common for bullies to find valid (to them) excuses for how they have treated someone, or even outright blaming the bullying on the victim, thereby compunding the damage done by denying them even the right to feel outraged by the treatment.
I don't know what type of bullying you experienced. But I would like to stress that there is a difference in impact between persistent bullying that goes on every day for years and years from everyone around you, and bullying that occurs during a limited period of time by a smaller number of people and then ceases. Both are terrible and frightening and hurtful, but the former causes a very deep trauma for the victim because it can totally destroy that person's sense of self-worth for years, sometimes even for life. And that is what I see in Hira.
Some of you really need to take a chill pill and relax!!! Y’all are all up in arms over a fictional show! I…
You wrote: "I hope that you guys are this vocal when you see it happening around you instead of just going wild over characters that aren’t even real." You can bet your arse I do. That's why I can't stand it when people try to trivialise it. I have no objection to seeing it depicted in any media, as long as it's taken seriously and not treated as something trivial or fun or even excused. I agree that it's up to the viewer to watch that kind of content or not. I just want people to call it what it is.

I 100% agree. Anyone who doesn't see this as bullying has probably never been bullied themselves. I might go as far as to say that it's likely they did some bullying of their own while telling themselves they were simply "honest" or "funny". This comment may come across as salty. That's because I have first hand experience of what bullying is. Both for my own part and for close family members. It has been deeply traumatising, and I won't stand for people trivilialising it.
