Maybe you have been lucky enough to find such men around you.

But there are still many who don't understand this,even working women in many households have to face doing all the work alone,that's why all women are given so much of praise that they can handle household work also and office work also,a nice way to put pressure on women to manage all.

Till date I haven't seen in any household,if a guest comes home,then a man goes and brings in snacks or water for them,it's always the woman,be it working or homemaker.

Also,most of the good men might just help,they never really take charge for any of the household activities, or many women don't let them as well🤔

True ....After writing the post I kinda realised that myself ...It brings me back to my initial observation that the show is adressing a very varied audience in terms of social and economic backgrounds , the upbringing , exposure etc , thats why the messages fail to connect sometimes and land up in category of pseudo empowerment ..

But instead of simply showing Anuj as this too-good-to-be-true man , wouldnt it be making more sense if they also show the main protagonist Anupamaa learning and actually making progress ....If she's still shown serving chai and theplas to her abusers , saying "maine sab ghar ka kaam kar liya Baa" before rushing off to work , what's the use ? Who is learning from Anuj's example , Toshu to abhi bhi agar Kinjal ko doodh de de , everyone has tears in their eyes

No wonder , even though the character has been masacred badly , people are still liking Anuj's character more than Anupamaa's (some poll on twitter)...simply because Anupamaa is 2 steps forward and 10 steps backward ...

I think the point is, this is a fictional story. They can choose to show what they want, they can choose to give progressive messages and inspire


At one time, same things were said about child marriages and even media used to glorify it.


The makers are choosing to glorify and normalize such behavior, many young people will continue thinking this is the norm, rather than thinking its something which should be changed

But AK is still a too good to be true man for many...


I tend to cut some slack for Anu because of the trauma... I do sometimes wish she comes out of it... but if you see the first episode Anupamaa and now... she really has progressed... might be little but she had progressed... But I don't think she will grow further with the new plot lines.


They don't seem to want to show the real issues. They really don't need to bring in people from Anuj's family. It could have been her and Anuj... There are a million issues they could have addressed. Would have been fresh and really interesting to watch. Maybe after Anu really settles in... say after a year... they could have brought in more people. This would have really shown her growth as an individual... their growth as a couple.Bringing more people now will only make her go backwards.


No offense🤗Just my pov🤗

I agree.

I dont really like Anu's character that much.

But then I also believe that every individual's progress and priorities are different in life.

Some people deem success or progress by opening up their business,or having a huge empire,some believe they have progressed enough in life by simply doing a desk job,some believe they have progressed by cooking food from home and supplying it people in their apartment.


For anu,her progress was learning computer from Kinjal and driving,and just doing something outside her household chores like the dance academy,and now maybe Kapadia empire.


For Anu,no matter what,she will always be a homemaker by heart...maybe because it's been ingrained in her so much that it's part of her nature now. For her family,relations will always come first,and career is just a means of little independence for her,which she is able to fulfill with her dance academy or even kapadia empire.


Ab kyon kitne level tak udhna chahta hain,woh toh uss person pe hi depend karta hain🤪

I can understand, many of us would want more or wish her to aim for more maybe because we believe she has been presented with opportunities that most women don't have and she hasn't utilized them well enough,but I guess she is content with what she has in her life.

I haven’t seen episode fully ... On the face of it yes , those comments do seem quite regressive ...

Not defending the makers , but I guess problem is that target audience is quite large and varied .. Thats why while on one hand they are trying to show progress - Anuj helping her clean up the kitchen ( even in precap something similar is shown ) ... on other hand they are probably scared to lose their appeal to the homemakers, less educated older generation female “grehanis” ( and that is a large part of their target audience) and say dialogues which might be more relatable to them ...

That’s why the constant stress on Anupamaa as Maa and her role , even though to us it mostly comes across as mollycoddling them ...

The show’s empowerment messages are anyway v skewed , so I’m not surprised ...


Has there been any actual studies done or proof that showing such things will alienate homemakers? I know makers keep claiming this but I havent seen any proof


The super big houses and affleuncent circumstance in these shows, which most of Indian homemakers cannot even dream of or relate to, does not alienate homemakers. The extra martial affairs and drama which again they cannot relate to, does not alienate them. So why would this one thing, cause homemakers to lose interest?


Personally i think we (and the makers) underestimate Indian audience. As long as something is entertaining and clean, no one would mind. Its constant repetition and negativity most will have problems with. Make a story which makes sense and is entertaining and it doesnt matter what message you give

Good morning everyone🤗❤️

Thanks for the synopsis and tags!!

Ik Ik.. I was thoda disappointed too... BUT...

I know aaj joote chappal padenge mujhe but I'm ready 😂😂

I watched only the MaAn scenes..

The dinner scene.. them feeding each other ever so casually... and her giving him his pallu.. yes that could seem gross to some peeps but me being the hopeless romantic, found it cute🙈

The pallu pull never gets old yaar

What's with the looks they've been giving each other uffffffftf🔥🔥🔥🔥

The clearing the table and kitchen scenes... then her going around the house and doing her chores like a bahu and him adoring her was super cute toooo❤❤

Removing the bangles and choker..the pull, again their expressions here.. Anu's expression when he slid his hands from her face to her neck OMG she was so mesmerized....

The way he picked her up..😻

The morning scene..chalo humara nahi toh atleast Anuj ka sapna pura hogaya..

1 Important observation.. earlier Anu subhe subhe geele baal me hoti thi now that she is rich she has a hairdryer..just saying..


Her applying the sindoor.. wearing her earrings..feeling beautiful.. looking at Anuj and blushing.. playing with the light.. his expressions when he woke up.. chashma...

Tulsi waale scene me finally including herself.. was great!!!

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I loved the aarti.. matlab it gave such good vibes.. and when he joined her.. she dedicated some lines to him.. that subtle romance has my heart❤❤

GK adoring them...and later both of them adoring Anu was a beautiful scene too.. knowing that they aren't alone now.. there is someone to take care of them...

Kitchen scene gas waala masaale waala I didn't relate..shayad housewives ne kiya hoga..

But the parallel was good.. about the entire house being hers...


Precap--- her feeding him breakfast.. Woh kitchen waali cheek kiss🙈🙈 so now kisses are gonna be normal from Kapadia ji.. without maarna mat or bura mat maanna.. 😍😍😍😍

HONEYMOON🥳🥳🥳🥳


Lesson learnt : Anuj no- umeed zone se bahar aagaya hai that does not mean hume umeed karni chahiye💔

😂


Chalo now y'all can hit me with tomatos, joote, chappal whatever❤😁
