"Geet, Zoya and Anika are examples of how 4 Lions has stayed away from Saas Bahu Sagas" -

Ever since Star Plus' Ishqbaaaz telecast its last time leap, the show has been making a conscious effort to telecast issues that are prevalent in everybody's day-to-day lives.

They started with how social media impacts our daily lives, then moved on to the subject of ill-treatment of the elderly, then came the topic of blind faith in fake Godmen and Women. And next in line for the makers is the Mee Too' movement.

Ask her as to why after showcasing some terrific romance and drama, the show's focus now a days has shifted to social issues, the producer has something insightful to share -

"For some reason Television has remained in the unreal zone and all we have created is a perfect Bahu who has nothing else in life but to solve other relative or friend's personal problems! 4 Lions has actually stayed away from Saas Bahu always and has always tried to pick some socially relevant issues in stories!"

She continued, "Geet (Drashti Dhami in Geet Hui Sabse Parayi) was a pregnant deserted woman who still believed that she has a right to fall in love! Zoya (Surbhi Jyoti in Qubool Hai) completely redefined the way a modern Muslim girl should be perceived! Anika (Surbhi Chandna in Ishqbaaaz) is nothing like how we have been told a girl should be or behave. She is not blindly religious, she doesn't cook, didn't change into sarees after marriage and has always stood up against everything feudal in India. I think it is time now, that we redefine the landscape of television and do some realistic and relatable topics. I think it's high time we free women of the burden which that this 'perfect bahu' image promotes."

Expressing her gratitude to Star Plus, Gul said, "And thankfully, Star Plus is giving us that platform where we can get women out of the burden of being that perfect Bahu. The channel has given us and Ishqbaaz that opportunity to finally do something relevant and yet creative."

"And that's why we are trying this now in Ishqbaaz ! I hope and pray the audiences support us on this. We want to do more with Television and with television characters," the producer concluded.

Well, who wouldn't support a nobel initiative aimed at the betterment of the society?
