I have seen my best friend turn to a mental and physical wreck within a year of her marriage. I have seen a cousin suffer a miscarriage because she dared to object to her husband's extra-marital affair.

For me this issue means more than a fictionalized show. Handsome be damned. When I first saw my friend after her marriage I was close to murder. But you know what - she chose to go back to her husband because she discovered she was pregnant - a real life Urmi. A talented, vivacious, intelligent girl who had to be tied because she would keep hitting her head on the wall if left unsupervised. We spent months on lawyers and medical and psychiatric treatment - and she returned to that Hell and the Monster she was unfortunately married to.

But this is not the story of one Urmi or just my friend. It is the story of countless women all over the globe. Be it Nigela Lawson or Preity Zinta or Reeva Steenkamp or Urmi or your own kaamwali bai - they are facing the same issues. And so long as girls are raised to believe that "LOVE" as glorified in movies or serials or books is the be all and end all of life these stories will keep emerging.

I am surprised at the risks the CV's are takin' w/this show. In this show, the main villian of it, is the main heroine's husband of all people 😕 & there isn't much romance on this show at all which is one of the main reasons as to why it's not my type of show. It lacks romance. Maybe if Samrat improved we would be seeing more romance on the show but he ain't improving.



Umm sorry but Romance - seriously? This is what is wrong with this generation - they let their hormones do the work of brains. I hope you do realize that you were watching and commenting on an issue like Domestic Violence. Get past the face girl and open your eyes - anyways have seen too many little girls demand romance, ooh and aah over an abusive boyfriend/husband because he is "oh so macho/possessive" etc. and then one day wind up broken to pieces

U are misunderstanding me. I know what it's like to live in a household w/domestic violence. I was abused growing up. It was so bad that I felt more safe at school than at home & my dad used to physically abuse my mom. What I mentioned in the previous post is just the type of Indian serials I am into watchin'. I am quite picky when it comes to Indian serials. Like I prefer moderate ones that have a good chunk of everything- humor, romance, seriousness, & sorrow & have a good storyline, that is quite cliche-free, & in which I like the main couple (s) on the show. Anyways, I am in my late twenties so I am not a little girl. Back to my parents, my dad was never as bad as Samrat but he did change for the better. Now, he usually doesn't raise a hand on anyone in the family.

I pretty much know what type of guy I would like to marry & for me it's not just about if he's romantic & good looking. Ya, like a lot of women, I would like my future hubby to have these qualities but having just these qualities is definately not enough for me. He needs to be warm hearted, respect me, my family, & friends & not be one to feel like resorting to violence quite a bit of the time when it comes to disciplining children, & I would like to not be married to a very serious person. I'd like be with someone who makes me laugh, supports me, who's honest, trusting, not lazy, & who consoles me when I am feeling down.

In a way this was an eye opening episode. Shows how low some husbands can get. I feel so bad for any victims who went through this like I was so traumatized by it. Like it was horrible!

No one should be beaten, even slapped, Men who don't repect women should not be blessed wth a wife or kids...I guess the show is protraying what happens daily in some lives and also is showing what women should do not to have it repeated.

I want Samrat killed or imprisoned in a cell full of strong men who treat him like a woman. I They must get Ishaan back for Urmi. I am disappointed even with Tauji who rather than give bhashans to Urmi should have squashed his psycho nephew into a blender.Lets see what he does when the rat boy returns.

I would like Shashi to be stomped under a mad elephant and break her arms and legs. She can then become more useful begging on the streets rather than creating problems at home

@ Violet
So what according to you is the definition of "treat (him) like a woman" - are you suggesting r@pe? That would be just about the right way to treat a woman isn't it?

@ RED Let me get this right - you want redress violence against one woman by even more brutal violence against another?

In one single post you have suggested that sexual assault, physical maiming and a life of begging are the right ways to treat women. Way to go - any more brilliant suggestions or are you done exposing all your violent and patriarchal misogynistic ideas?

You know what I'm sick and tired of men who seem to think that they are supporting a life of dignity for women and spout such drivel to show off more of their misogynistic ideas. Get your thoughts right and probably we would see less of violence against women

I owe you a big time apology. One would think that by now I would've learned to not make snap judgements about people. However in this online world we can only judge people by what they write. In my defense everytime I see someone demand "Romance" - picture in my mind is that of a teenager with nothing in her head but a handsome face.

Hey Hey wait a minute before you jump to conclusions. Are you not assuming my thinking to be a certain way because I am a man? If you took some time and (re)search my posts on this forum, you will find my posts supporting women's rights and 100 % respect for a woman, Why would you not have concluded my quotes about Samrat as that he be treated EXACTLY like he treated Urmi, by the prisoners? He treated Urmi very disgustingly from mental, physical and emotional point of view and thats what I wanted Samrat to experience so he knows how it feels. So, please before you make conclusions about men, stop and think that not all men or women are evil and neither all men and women are saints. I had no intentions of disrespecting a woman ever and in fact I am one of those men who will not stand a woman being treated badly.

Oh and about Shashi, It was my sense of humour with an intention to punish her for not showing any respect to Urmi ( a woman) and being disgustingly cruel to Urmi (a woman) by saying she may have deserved the beating she got. Again, your assumption was to think about how a typical man thinks. You did not see my disgust about Shashi's treatment towards a woman but saw my fantasy punishment towards Shashi and felt offended.

Anyways, though I did not need to defend myself to you, I am doing that so you don't jump to conclusions again

My point - supporting women's rights goes much beyond posts - fight for equality of sexes and non-discrimination goes deeper than words. It's in the way one thinks. It's not humorous to say that a person should be maimed - that's not funny. It is not funny to say that a man should be gelded because he happened to lech at a woman at a bus stop. There are other ways of dealing with the issue - humorous as well as non-objectionable.


Bigger point - I'm not a stalker. I judge every person by what they write in the post in front of me. Stalking is not my nature. And like you asked me to check your posts all over IF, you might've done well to check my post immediately above this response - it was to a woman and it was questioning her response. So no I'm not calling into question your username - it could be Rumpelstiltskin or Jack the Ripper for all I care. If you go over my post I questioned the thought process behind certain statements.


Again prison violence is not a new phenomenon - my objection was to the term "treat him like a woman". Surely you see that this usage is extremely unfortunate. Somewhere it implies that being a recipient of physical and sexual violence is equivalent to "being treated like a woman". If we are to bring about a change we need to be careful of what we say and how. You won't call a person of African descent a Nigger - it took years of sensitization to bring about that change. Similarly certain ingrained thoughts and sentiments need to be avoided at all costs when one is talking of gender violence.
