The misogyny of the time beautifully portrayed (Collage Added) - Page 2

Yep, the misogyny is depicted very well. Women truly are their own worst enemy. Gayatri is trying her best to let it not affect her, always putting on a happy face. 😊

It's sad though that these attitudes still exist among some communities today as well.

i agree .. as they r showing 1940s culture , thats bound to happen ..

a girl will b held responsible for whatever bad happens and not the guy

and still in backward areas its the trend .. people throw cheap sentences if , the girl isnt married ..

what i like is gayatri attitude towards it ..though i felt bad when she gave sad expressions ...

lets see , what will b attitude of her bhabis , after her marriage to rana g

yes i agree with u

women were not considered much worthy then

well the situation for women still has not changed much

but at that time i think it was all the more prominent

girls had only 1 aim in life - to marry and have children

they did not have much freedom to lead life their own way

they had almost no say in their own life decisions too

Yeah I agree its an important message to depict and feel that it does help to paint a grand picture -Gayatri truly is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise regressive society! Loved the father-daughter connection in today's episode.

Hello!😊

You know Gayatri doesn't give up hope, they show that contrast with Rana, but with Gayatri her Bhabhi's see that she has not given up in life and is not depressed so they try everything to make her beneath them (make her give up on life) and she can carry on serving them as a servant, that's their only aim, to keep telling her that they have achieved something she hasn't found a match for herself and they still have a living husband etc. They have no work so they only amusement is in making her unhappy and they can feel good, many people are like that, when they make others unhappy it makes them happy (sadistic people) but its masking something their own uselessness, they lack of love they are getting from their own family because they are seeing that Gayatri's family love her and them they were just married off and are lucky if they hear from their family again also, once out of their parents site they are forgotten. 😛😆, its no wonder also because they are shrews even their parents can't want to hear from them and love them. 😆

you are so right completely agree with you. Once a girl is manglik she is labeled for life...

Exactly that would be my point. There is one ultimate goal to get married and have children. Though situation hasn't changed much its was far more prevalent back then.

It is really ironical... Gayatri is the daughter of one of the wealthiest man. Her father literally showered her with the money he had just because she asked for it. And yet, just because she is a girl, she is expected to have only one destiny; ie to get married. Just because she is considered an ill-omen and now isn't getting any other marriage proposals; its as if there is no hope for her in life. Her parent's love for her, her father's wealth or her intelligence are considered to be of no use to her just because she is a girl... and the only thing that would be of any worth ends up being a marriage. It is sad for girls when their worth is measured onlyby their marriage.

However, with the Indian Tv we have today, these bhabhis could very well be Gopi bahu or sandhyas padosis which is what makes it a tad annoying 😆
