“Phupo tou haar cheez ki fasad ki jarr hoti hai.”
Phupo – a word used to describe an evil culprit of every family. Everywhere you go, the relationship of “phuppo-bhatija” is being bashed.
There are a few things you can blame for this spread of stereotype; the internet and the Pakistani drama industry. The drama industry has to show bahu as the righteous person whereas the nand is depicted of being a sadist witch.
The internet, for all the likes and retweets hops on the easy joke bandwagon and thus, efficiently solidifies a stereotype in the minds of the teenagers using the internet.
