well there was a change a while back from creatives in 90's early 2000, with more racier topics such as (dare I say) sex, extra marital affairs, and the ultimate : kissing on the lips on tv... all with a purpose of supporting the story of course...
but fewer ratings along with knowing the typical viewer was regular housewives, they switch the subjects in order to relate more to the viewers appreciation, if I can put it that way. Therefore more house0mother and daughter in law, most typical stuff
It maybe now time to stand witih the new era of modernism that lfood India today, even Bollywood is not the same... time to adapt to the new reality

I Know,It's a 'FASHION' Nowadays either to LIVE TOGETHER or to marry a boy Muuuuuch younger than you but as far as examples show,more experimentation brings more problems..... may be I sound backdated etc etc but if you consider Widow Remarriage,it's something VERY ESSENTIAL and I support it.... a woman Divorcing her torturing husband can also be supported BUT A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN having an affair KNOWINGLY with a boy much younger than her is neither VERY ESSENTIAL nor acceptable to me... Jaise ki DUNIA MEIN LADKO KI KAMI HAI..?????????????
Couldn't Simmi have waited for a a good groom of her age? After all Mrs Taneja had set up Nakul Singh's alliance for her ? He is Suuuuuuuch a grrrrrrrrrrreat match for Simmi.... but yeah..... if she marries Nakul,it will be a dull ,borrrrring thing..... the SPICE ,the THRILL of romancing a younger man n fighting your family to marry him will be missing.... I Doubt if in real lives Matured-practical girls from Middle class Society do really want to add SPICE in their lives or lead a pretty 'normal' life as other 99%..?😲

Actually some of the things you mention are not as common as you might think. I think you're looking at Hollywood as representative of what goes in the west, but that's like thinking Bollywood films represent everything Indian and everyone dances around trees, does their housework in silk sarees and one guy can beat up 10 bad guys at a time. So not true.
I think you miss a big point of this story and that is dealing with faling in love with someone who is younger than you. It can happen. It's a rare situation and how couples handle the situation and what kinds of problems they encounter are discussed to some degree in the show . Of course. the show does get very melodramtic about it and could have done a much better job. Nevertheless, at least the show touched on a topic that is new and an issue I am sure exists in India.
What did make the whole romance awkward for many of us in the beginning was not so much their age difference but their actual ages. Some of us found it rather odd uncomfortable especially after we all had the impression Abhi was at least 24. But now we've all overcome the shock and are adapting to the new age difference, and it is certainly not the same as an underaged boy with an adult woman. While there are are multiple weaknesses with the story such as what does Abhi see in Simi, the two of them have fallen for each other in the end. I think most of us would like to see them come together and view the romance as acceptable despite their ages.
For Simi marrying Nukul is not an option; even if he is age appropriate, he's not interested in marrying her. Nukul is securing or working towards securing a marriage between Omi and Neetu, and to do this he must marry Simi. Also, Nukul is dull and boring; you'd get more excitment watching a traffic light change colors. Abhi is interesting not because of his age but because of his personality. The thrill of the romance is thus not age-related but because Abhi is genuinely fun and sincere. Although in this episode it doesn't look she's having much fun in her romance.
Also Mrs. Tarneja did not set up this marriage because she cares for Simi but because she does not want her daughter to have to deal with Simi (as if Simi is some kind of threat).

and quite frankly it is becoming a lot less rare,, oots of cougar out there, society is just a bit less hypocrite, woman are requesting same priviledge and equal rights, so what goes for man might as well go with women... that does not mean there is anything lud nor lesls genuine when love is truly felt, no matter what age : i.e. bandini, kasam se, ... so when will it be acceptable for the reverse ? it's just starting in west, same for other taboo subject aka gays... but now we're venturing in the forbidden terrotories....sex, politic and religion

It's Very true that WOMAN AND MEN have SAME RIGHTS nowadays but when it comes to marriage,the TRADITION OF MEN Marrying Women younger to them always PREVAILS n WILL PREVAIl..... Our ancestors haven't made this 'Tradition' without any reason/thinking.... If U think deeply Females/Women have much more maturity then boys/Men of their age so if Women get married to men younger than them,they face lots of troubles from adjusting Psycologically and even there's a PHYSICAL reason behind it.....Men tend to be more capable of having physical relationship till a very later age than compared to Women So if a woman,who already had has her menopause has a husband younger to her by 10 years.... think of the relationship the couple is going to have in the next 20 years!! IN THESE CASES THE WOMAN FINDS IT UTTERLY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST WITH THE EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL NEEDS OF HER MAN WHO'S STILL VERY MUCH ACTIVE..... it becomes a lot easier if the wife is much younger.....both of them 'AGE' more or less at the same time and they are likely to face lesser problems OTHERWISE THAT HAPPENS whatever they've shown in ASTITVA,EK PREM KAHANI😳.... Abhi got impatient bcos Simran was not able to maintain a regular physical relationship upto the extent that a YOUNG GUY like him wanted/needed!!!!!😲

SO,many Traditional rules really have a logic/scientific basis/reason behind them!!!!!

I DO....SOOO HATE REPEATING MYSELF!!...
So,, Please, please be a myth and be relegated to the realm of non-reality and those weirdo X-box 360 games, that would make it so much easier to accept the absolute cartoonish..ness of your views..
the fact that our ancestors had said views..does not mean that we should have/accept them too..ITS CALLED EVOLUTION!!!..or is that ..oh why didn't i think of this...an ALIEN concept!!
if not for that..evolution..in case its hard to ..pardon the pun..follow..the planet would still be populated by dinosaurs..is that your era..do look around and greet the brachiosaur next to you in whatever gobbledygook u mutter..
btw..just as a scientific curiosity...with them massive digits..how in the heck do you...TYPE????

and if the reason for said archaic thoughts..is solely..the male libido...then the fact that his spouse is younger is no obstacle to a man who wishes to stray..fidelity is a mental concept..not that mental that we allude to when addressing your outpourings, of course...in case that was..again.. difficult to follow....

aristotle once(long ago..though..much later than your time..) defined hysteria as the condition caused by a wandering uterus..which then gets lodged in the female brain leading to assorted problems..applying that logic...what exactly gets dislodged in the male system...and most importantly...where the heck does it get lodged???..
i'm sure you have a detailed scientific /philosophic/archeopteryic..explanation for said phenomenon...

If this was not meant for me, then please disregard the following and accept my apology ... if, on the other hand, it was, then in the spirit of friendship do accept a slight correction ... the proper term is 'hear hear'! 😊

OMG! SIMI IS MIDDLE AGED! U consider SIMI MIDDLE-AGED AT 30?!!!!! 😲 😲 😲
Then I must be already dead! Or one foot in the grave! 😆 😆 😆
Yes, Im a middle aged full-time working woman/mother/housewife and I see nothing wrong in a 30 year old woman romancing a 23 year old guy!
If we can accept Mills and Boon kind of romance between a 32 yr old guy and 20 yr old girl, then why not the other way around? Mental and emotional maturity isnt dependant on gender.

FYI in the West, at least here in the US, some girls get married very early at 18/19/20, they marry their high school or college sweethearts, who are the same age or maybe 1-2 years older. Other women have careers, dont marry till much later and usually marry their colleagues or co-workers. In fact most divorces here are between couples the same age or when the woman is much younger, sometimes 10 years younger than the guy!
In recent times, there are more divorces in India as well and mostly in traditional marriages where the bride is several yrs younger than the guy, the main reason for divorce is infidelity, and the culprit is mostly the husband.

Just out of idle curiosity - why do you feel compelled to so rage, rave, and rant?! You do know something about netiquette - right? It's very unseemly and rude to shout! It's not atypical for this to be the hallmark of a person whose mother raised him/her by simply yanking the hair on his/her head.
This 'tradition' will always prevail?!! Why, dear, could you either impart some of your powers to prognosticate upon some of us dullards, or let us borrow your crystal ball ... the rose colored glasses I've been wearing are no longer doing their magic ...
they face lots of troubles from adjusting Psycologically and even there's a PHYSICAL reason behind it
Say ... the translation genius amongst us femmes divine, could you help here ... I mean help me? This is some pretty impenetrable stuff ... probably because it's so profound ...
So if a woman,who already had has her menopause has a husband younger to her by 10 years
You know, I remember Belle once asking if you lived on a different planet ... I'm beginning to think that there is a form of 'life' in a parallel universe that is a constitutent of a multiverse ... your theory above is intriguing ... would you please share the data that supports this? I'm always interested in learning ... bad, I know, but then I'm an inveterate creature of habit ...
IN THESE CASES THE WOMAN FINDS IT UTTERLY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST WITH THE EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL NEEDS OF HER MAN WHO'S STILL VERY MUCH ACTIVE
Please accept my heartfelt condolences if you speak from personal experience ... which side of the gender line you fall on is not easily discernible (your avatars have an amazing power to morph), but the situation above is equally traumatic on either side I'm sure ...
SO,many Traditional rules really have a logic/scientific basis/reason behind them!!!!!
Scientific is it?!!! Ooooo! I will grant that the spelling is correct ... the rest, however, is decidedly Bozonish ...
Just a thought - underlying this may be an uncontrollable desire to get attention (deprived childhood?!) ... responding simply adds fuel to the fire ... CBT and medication may be essential ...
Cheerio!
