Slap Scene From A Pakistani TV Show 'Laapata' Has Left The Internet Wondering If It Was Right Or Not
The slap scene in the Pakistani tv show 'Laapata' has got a lot of attention from Twitter and the internet is divided over it.
Twitter has a lot of opinions about literally everything. Be it politics, pop culture or even entertainment and a clip shared by a Twitter user has got a lot of attention as well.
A scene from a Pakistani TV show has recently gone viral where during an altercation between a husband and a wife, the man is shown to slap the woman. The woman, in turn, does not take it lying down and slaps him back with equal force.
When the duo are shown to be in an altercation, the man is shown to slap the woman across the face. She pauses for a second, before slapping him back and says, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare! I will break your hands¡±.
Best scene ??#Laapata pic.twitter.com/X02M7iZO4A

While many users said that it was right for the woman to hit back, others thought that violence is never really the best option.

To prove that oppression is a choice If any insecure man with his fragile ego tries his ¡°so called¡± muscles on you,Make the choice that #Falak did, Without any fear! One tight slap back from a brave woman to such weak man in our society would be a giant leap for women kind (3/4)

Finally a very important issue of our society is highlighted in this drama! It also tells us why a woman should be educated, empowered and confident! ?#laapata https://t.co/zQu89JpnGc

ALL women need to be like this. If ur bf/spouse hits u for a wrong reason, hit back. Men like these are cowards, and only raise their hands on women cause they think they're weak and won't reply, just fight back and these type of men would never mess with a woman again#laapata https://t.co/37nxOuUKhB

I appreciate how they dared to show falak slap Daniyal back but the fact is that this guy could have easily beaten her up in rage. If physically women were able to take on men in a fight, DV would have a entirely different outlook. Sentiment appreciable, msg not so much #Laapata

But is it really exemplary to show a husband & wife slapping each other onscreen? Do two wrongs make a right? Just a question. Open to debate! #Laapata #women #womenempowerment #Pakistan https://t.co/llU5cATso4

The scene which has become the talk of the town is part of episode 12 of the show titled ¡®Laapata¡¯ and aired on HUM TV the past week. The character of the man, Daniyal is portrayed by Mirza Gohar Rasheed, a character who is shown to be aggressive and has unresolved anger issues too. He accuses his wife Falak, played by actor Sarah Khan, of being intimate with her cousin.
