Thank you! I feel the same! Samrat is just disgusting. Sometimes I wonder if the writers intend to send the right message and sometimes the things they write contradict everything. What I'm wondering is if they decide to go the "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me route"...
Its one thing to stick with a man who yells at you or taunts you; but a man who CHEATS on you with prostitutes and literally beat you up so hard that you were almost dead - sorry, nope...this is sending a very very dangerous message.
I totally agree! Abuse and rape underplayed in serials makes my blood boil! Granted that the show is a work of fiction and you don't want to send a social message, at least give your protagonist some self respect!
Just because a man is good-looking or rich does NOT mean that he should get away with this abuse and torture or that his wife/partner should overlook it. And if kids are involved, then it becomes even more important to get away from a physically abusive husband.
👏 I feel the same! I always say that you can be how beautiful/handsome on the outside, if you have a nasty personality you are truly an ugly person.
But of course, there are always people both in real life and fans of reel life who just want to see their 'favorite couple' together regardless of how downright inhumane the male lead has acted. Its regressive to call it a "love story" when clearly there is little love and more torment going on. And we can't ever justify it by saying, "chill...its just a tv show.." because popculture/tv/movies have a huge impact on societal culture.
I've seen it happen so many times; makes me think that the way they can watch the show reflects the way they think in real life too - repressively. It may sound irrational to be arguing over a show but you know what they say, life imitates art!
