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.

Not always true, it all depends on Creative and their talent
Wasn't Diya aur bati hum all about career oriented woman
How was that such a hit show
Dmg was another show were woman was shown as highly educated , the show gained huge trps in its initial days
We blame it all on the audience where as the truth is the audience will see what u will feed them

its d problem wid all channel..dey promote social msg n nayi soch bt show all d regressive stuffs..
best one is colors in which every show boasts of social msg crap bt all shows r regressive beyond belief...
If SP wanted to promote nayi soch first of all dey shud get rid of Saathiya...

I feel its nt abt career women or housewife bt hw d plots r executed..Audience just wants entertainment..Dey dnt care wat crap channel is showing as long as its dramatic n dey feel like watching it...

Tamana and Dahleez that portrayed working ladies were such a treat to watch!!! The FL were not only mentally strong but their reaction to situations were apt and logical. But I guess this formula just does not work with SP's audiences. However, I had so wished for a shrewd FL for Om. He could have been the same sweet, poetic Om who believes in love and the FL could have been just the opposite with all the poise and hell lot of attitude. Alas, the writers are stuck to this old-age crap!!!

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 Deepika😊. I will post my comment later. But this reply of mine to Luna's comment will also answer your question a little.

Earlier the shows were progressive because cable TV was a privilege , only urban population watched it.
Today starplus is watched in most rural areas and whatever they say that TV educates is all crap everything is about money .
And to be honest , the creative don't even want to try they play the safe card

Basically its not abt Working women..

It is abt a Girl or Lady.. who has no life of her own. She is just there to help others. Especially her in laws.. in indian shows girl story always revolves around her in laws. Either before marriage or after marriage . So she is just there to Help others.. N to sacrifice.in result receive insults n taunts all the time. Still she needs to smile in front of everyone.. n need to stay ready for next secrifice for any other family member.

What is allow to her ?? She can cry sometimes n then can make promise that she will not break n will secrifice for the happinesses of her family (in laws)

A working women can't do all this.. bcz for all these things a lady should be present 24 hours in house.. to cook.. to maintain house.. to look after each other n obviously to secrifice n to receive insults all time with smile..

All these things gets Trps.. so its not abt Working lady.. N for me Not SP.. but Audience needs to change their SOCH. Who still likes to watch helpless n secrificing girl only.

@bold: I don't believe this so much. In urban section too, the shitty shows gets more TRPs. I am sure most people on IF in every forums are from urban areas only but how much people we actually saw who don't want an arrogant hero to get the heroine instead of the sweet one.

First of all, back then even Doordarshan which was in the reach of all the people had working and self reliant women, be they Sunita and Poonam of Idhar Udhar or she be Majhli of Humlog, whether she be Shanti of Shanti or the females of Circus so even rural population had liked progressive women like this for ages

Secondly if you check the BARC rural ratings (or even rural+urban) ratings you would hardly find one or two show in top 10 n shows like IB or Saathiya are in top only in the BARC urban only ratings so you shouldn't blame rural population do this
