totally agree with you dearOriginally posted by: .Rinnie.
I understand your views and I did not watch the episode with my family either but then when I actually sat down to watch something else, I realized this major point and I would like to present my own opinion and experience here about this.
I agree that such topics are uncomfortable to watch with your parents thus I, myself, did not watch it on tv but rather on Jio TV.
However, I found it to be hypocritical of my own family to find this uncomfortable but be okay watching a show like Udariyaan where the ML is romancing his wife's sister at every corner or Anupama where the ML is cheating on his wife and having them live in the same house or watching other idiotic shows where the ML is abusing or torturing or doing some form of physical or mental abuse on the FL.
All these shows air on prime time, all these shows have HUGE audiences, all of them promote EMA, abuse, etc. etc.
But, I find no one speaking up or saying this should not be shown to families, this is not something that should be normalized and whitewashed later on. We have such a HUGE cancel culture in our country but everyone is ready to forgive the ML for his abuse as long as he is going to romance the FL in the next episode.
Jab yeh sab hum dekh sakte hai, jab yeh sab ke liye we never speak up or change the channel then what is wrong with watching these characters speak about an actual event that does happen in the life of women?
I have been to wedding's and seen people sit to discuss suhagraat with the bride or groom in the exact same manner. The entire family waits with thali and aarti to send these two people off into a room to boink and waits by the door in the morning to get the results of it 😆
But, at the same time we are so ashamed to even watch or hear this topic infront of others.
Isn't this hypocrisy at it's finest?
P.S: Again, I'm not pointing at anyone but just a thought I had yesterday when I did not watch the episode and I wondered why am I allowing myself to be uncomfortable by this when I see worse every day and not speak up.
If we do not start normalizing discussing such taboo concepts with our own family then when will it ever be okay to discuss these things?
