Yep. On top of how painful it is to simply watch Rana’s story, it becomes exponentially worse to see real people be so indifferent or even blame her (and all the people like her) for everything. This is why I’m not sure if it’s worth showing so much of her suffering. For what? Who? People aren’t going to get it. They can see all this, how conflicted and terrified and guilty she was through the whole thing and still think, she’s a cheater so whatever. Or why does she care about what her family thinks? Is the gap still too big to bridge? Or is Corrie not good enough at telling this story? Or are those the loud minority and other people are more contemplative about it? Who knows.
The shows saddening, but some people’s reactions… just highlights how closeminded some people are as they can’t even begin to understand what’s difficult about Rana’s situation. There’s also a culture of blame ‘Rana’s in a free society, holding onto a backward religion or culture etc.’ not understanding how dire the consequences could potentially be.

Rana has a really pretty mouth. Not in a sexual or perverse way, but her combo of teeth and lips are really pretty to look at.
This has been staring me in the face in an open tab for a day now and I’m never in the right place to answer it after thinking about what Corrie’s doing on screen, but lol, anon, she really does. And can I say I’m actually kinda pleased that even though the reason behind it is Rana’s horrible depression spiral, we’re seeing some different lipstick colors! Silver linings and all that.

It breaks my heart to see Rana like this, I mean props to Bhavna on the terrific acting, but it has really been upside down ever since Zee has found out. It’s really fucking terrible Rana is forced out the closet like this and on a lighter note, it seems Imran is supporting her and being gentle and is the only one standing by her? I’m not sure what to think anymore! -sw
Yeah, we’re definitely supposed to feel sorry for her, and on the one hand, yay, no more of that cheating malarkey hanging over their heads because this is like the harshest cheating soap redemption I’ve ever seen, but I just don’t think being constantly outed is the best way to tell the story. Where’s her own agency in it?
I am very glad Imran’s standing with her…I wish we could have seen how he initially reacted and how she told him.
