Height of idiocy

What a regressive serial. What century are they living in? Urmi's family have zero self respect as most of them are dying to send her back and will succeed. I am surprised at Urmi's mom who should be a sherni and protect her daughter from her idiot husband (Urmi's dad) and crazy MIL (dadi), She does have Gaurav's and Bua's support so why is she not putting her foot down? What was the purpose of Urmi walking out of the Rat house if she was going to swallow her pride and go back because her idiot father is not a man enough to protect his daughter and simply because she is carrying Rat's baby

Well, sorry to say but ZEE has messed up again as usual. They start off with good new serials that mess up very very badly half way and then get axed. The worst thing is most of their serials are insults to a woman where the main female lead has to go through all the BS and suffer on the name of sanskaars and parampara. When are they going to learn to respect women?

Have patients dear.
They are highlighting all these issues which happens in real too. Believe sometimes once a girl goes to her sasuraal she becomes stranger to her maaike this is the mentality of many ppl this is why they are showing all this cos they wanna bring a change! Look at her dadi stupid old lady she is not even suporting Urmi. She forgets she was once a newly married woman too and i am sure her son urmis dad was somehow like Sam in the past. I feel this.

Thanks Dolly and IPerfection

I left India a long time ago to come to Canada and on one hand I keep hearing how India has succeeded in improving conditions for women and then I see all this crazyness in serials like this and it's not just one serial but majority of them show this kind of nonsense. I feel so bad for the actors who are subjected to this script (the way Urmi is shown to leave and fight back only to go back without any self respect). Also, they are brainwashing families and new brides to believe that the husband is the god and after marriage the daughters have no place in their parent's house. I cannot see how they intend to bring change if Urmi has to go back and accept the conditions she wanted to leave behind. Before the Rat reforms (I won't bet on it) he will continue his torture since he has the last laugh once Urmi returns

@Topic Maker - very good post! You took the words right out of my mouth!

Thanks for all the responses. I doubt it if they are going to follow the right path as there are already articles out about how Urmi will return to her sasural after the pregnancy fiasco (another track that was way too conveniently added and was not needed). We all knew that pregnancy news would trigger the endless bhashans and lectures from the illogical elders in Urmi's family about how its even more important to go back to the Rat because of the new baby. What bugs me to no end is the Rat and his Ratni (mommy)'s reaction when Urmi returns home. Yes, they may show some humanity in caring for her physically (for their own reasons, khandaan ka waris ka sawaal hai) but mentally it will be like "ha ha, we told you that you will be back, aur kahan jayegi". And god forbid if the baby is a daughter, Rat will perform a tandav at her birth and if it's a boy, the baby will be enrolled in the Rat university right away to ensure he will become papa jaisa.

Ahh ! Glad you are a fellow Canadian. How is this long Winter getting to you?

Yes, the sad part is that India changes at a snails pace.. Let us hope slowly but surely people will see

that one cannot live and treat women with disdain and treat them as second class citizens.

Hey Dolly, what city are you in? I am in Ottawa :) The winter is one of the longest one in years (never liked it)

It's a pity they never learn. You know, so often you hear about the silly objections (like a word in a song from aaja Nachley or the title of Ram Leela, which was forced to change to Goliyon ki Rasleela Ram Leela) and yet no objections of serials like these which consist of day to day abuse towards women
