From early 2000s till 2019 there were toxic male leads.
So many of them were there like arnab singh raizada to abhi of kum kum bhagya to ranbir kohli to asad to aditya etc
They had only one work to marry FL forcefully or marry them after falling in love than do not trust them, abuse them, kick them from home at slightest pertex than say sorry get them back again distust them etc repeat cycle
Another thing was all MLs had another female and affair or EMAs even Mihir Virani had Mandira
The same story has been repeated in every show ML marries FL either forcefully for revenge or fall in love than mistrust than throwing Fl out of home or abusing them than saying sorry repeat cycle finally another woman comes whom ML gets close to or even if he does not love yet allows her in his home or bedroom etc
Now after anupam ain 2020 trend has changed woman have started acting toxic i mean FLs have started taking what was before ML toxicity
Prime example is anupam amdam who in name of maa is highly toxic towards ML anuj kapadiya nad his kid CA and family
Its just that abhi of kum kum bhagya or arnav has been replaced by anupama as toxicity personified
Instead of ML having wife plus another wife or girl friend here its FL anupama who has husband and ex husband
Here side heroine Kavya too has two MLs one vanraj one her ex hubby from whom she has kid by EMA(which only MLs did before)
Till anupama serial it was FL who forgave ML again and agian and took his abuse many years silently and yet was loyal to ML hr husband.
In anupama its ML who forgives anupama again and again for her abuse and transgressions and is yet loyal in this case anuj kapadiya
