This is an interesting post.
First thing is that the reason Gauri didn't get an award has nothing to do with how terrible her characterization is. Chandra got best Pati, now I wouldn't call a man who is willing to commit marital rape the best husband. The awards are basically a sham. Swet got the award for the most stylish star which is true, but that is given to the person and not the character like the pati award. That doesn't make Swet greater than Gauri lol.
Though I disagree on the matter of using the awards to point out Gauri's terrible characterization, I completely agree that Gauri sucks lol. But please it is better for Omkara to die than have another woman in his life. As an Om fan I am completely ready to put up a petition to kill Om, if only the damn creatives LISTEN!
