“She was using a fake English accent.”
The drama serial Hasrat is being criticised for its badly executed school scene. It has sparked a discussion about paying attention to small production details.
The popular ARY Digital soap has been a daily fixture at 7:00 pm. It is directed by Syed Meesam Naqvi and written by Rakshanda Rizvi.
Hasrat is produced by Big Bang Entertainment Productions, with Fahad Mustafa and Dr Ali Kazmi as producers.
The drama’s storyline explores the destructive consequences of jealousy and bitterness and has resonated with audiences.
The show remains a popular fixture on ARY Digital, with fans eagerly awaiting each new episode.
The 17th episode featured a school function.
In one scene, a teacher delivered an introductory speech and invited students for a tribute performance.
The teacher’s English accent and language usage in the scene have drawn attention from viewers.
Viewers have noted that the teacher’s speech contained incorrect English, with one viewer commenting: “Such poor English.”
Another viewer observed: “She was using a fake English accent.”
Viewers also scrutinised the teacher’s pronunciation, grammar and accent.
Some people have suggested that the drama makers could have hired a real school teacher for the brief speech. This would have added authenticity to the scene.
One viewer criticised: “You should have hired an actual teacher instead of someone who sounds so illiterate.
“It is actually so funny the way she tries so hard to make her accent sound American.”
Another questioned: “Why talk in English at all? It would have been a far better scene if it was done in Urdu instead.”
One pointed out: “Not only is the accent very bad but her grammar is also not correct. I don’t understand how they could have overlooked something like this.”
Another stated: “She probably thinks she did a great job with her fake English accent. I hope she reads this comment section and works on herself.”
One remarked: “Pathetic accent. Like you are representing the city school. At least protect their image. None of their teachers ever speak like this.”
Another said:
“The lack of attention to detail in production is insane.”
The debate has sparked a conversation about the role of production quality in enhancing the viewing experience.
Additionally, viewers have pointed out that the scene depicted the maid accompanying the child to school and sitting with the father. This was seen as unrealistic.
A user asked: “Who takes a maid to school? They were sitting like a couple. This is so unrealistic.”
