'Shahs of Sunset': Nema pushes GG away for wanting drunken sex, fans praise him for understanding 'consent'
'Shahs of Sunset' has returned with yet another drama-filled episode and the highlight of this one is all about Golnesa 'GG' Gharachedaghi and Nema Vand's flirty banter, kisses and conversations that could mature into a relationship.
The two are great friends and have hung out enough with each other to have these casual, romantic feelings for each other. But something seems to stop them. And that could be Nema's inability to come out of his past relationship with Erica Saunders. But when they were in Hawaii with the rest of the cast members, they went all out.
GG and Nema got wasted, kissed, had a hot tub moment, made out and almost had sex. Or at least, GG wanted to, but Nema didn't encourage her advances after a point because he didn't think it would be fair to get into bed with a drunk woman. Explaining what went down in the hot tub, Nema said GG came really close and bit his lips, which hurt, and the two came really close but didn't continue with it.
What was interesting was, they may be physically attracted to each other but are also able to have a thoughtful conversation when needed. Nema almost had a breakdown when Mike Shouhed joked about Erica and how he would pay her rent. Even though it was all said in jest, Nema made it very clear that no one should be talking about Erica in such terms because she pulled him out of his divorce and saved him from an emotionally dark place.
Meanwhile, a section of fans think the GG-Nema story is "bulls***" while the rest said Nema understands "consent" and it was refreshing to see him stop when he realized GG was too drunk.
"Ok let’s chill with this scripted Nema & GG storyline. #Shahsofsunset," a fan shared, while another wrote: "Stop with this bs storyline GG and Nema will never hook up #ShahsofSunset."
"Nema that's a classy move. Stop it once you realise she's too drunk. #ShahsofSunset," a fan expressed. "Nema is a man who understands consent & its very refreshing to see!!! #shahs #shahsofsunset," another pointed out.
