SP tried showing working and professional woman in Tamanna and Dehleez, but these shows didn't got TRPs and went off-air. So they again went back, sticking to the old formula of showing sacrificing bahus. From the current shows that I watch, Beyhadh and KRPKAB too has working FLs, but how much TRPs these shows get???
It's clear that sacrificing bahus work more than career oriented women in bringing TRP. Maybe TRP aunties, who are mostly housewives are more able to connect with them. Anika too was a working woman, running her canteen business, but now she is only a housewife. CVs can show Gauri working with Om in making idols after marriage, but she will also turn into a housewife. The worst thing will be Soumya, turning into a housewife. Soumya is educated unlike other two female leads. Also she is nothing less than a celebrity, who earning on her own. She is actually more worthy than Rudra, who is nothing without Oberoi surname.
We can't blame TRP aunties but something is wrong with our own generation. In our parents generation we had ahead of time progressive shows where most of the heroines were working women or women who were not sacrificing. So it's not right to always blame people of previous generation. In many forums of IF, we see fiction stories written on any couple where the female lead is always written simple and innocent while the hero can be arrogant businessman who insults, shouts, manhandles and sometimes even rapes the heroine but still the hero is forgiven. Such stories gets more readers. And the people who wrote strong and bitchy heroine with the hero suffering after foubg anything wrong like hurting the hero that story gets very less readers compared to the former type of stories. Also in many shows, the heroes who are arrogant and abusive are not while decent and sweet heroes are boring. In Udaan, Suraj is preferred over Aditya and Vivaan for Chakor and in Begusarai, Lakhan was preferred over Priyom for Poona. And cvs actually listened to such people and made those jerks opposite the heroines. In IB only, after what all wrong Shivaay did some wanted Anika to end up with Om but many wanted only Shivaay. I gave enough proofs to show that something is wrong with our own generation.
Nice post Deepikađ. I will post my comment later. But this reply of mine to Luna's comment will also answer your question a little.
