Why is ITV obsessed with love triangles?!
This pp surrogacy discussion made me come up with this more basic question.
Is it really that engaging to watch a triangle?
I personally do not enjoy that track at all....it makes me uncomfortable and cringe.
People may fall out of love or not get along and call it quits but whats this constant need in itv to show a person simultaneously involved with 2 people.
Just coz people cheat in relationships doesn't mean that every show needs to have a love triangle and that too repeatedly.
Ab hogaya na. Pp thi, phir shruti. Now they have confessed and Sairat love each other. So now if they need to fight, have MU or conflict that can happen for other reasons too na...
Its not like without a third angle the plot cant move forward.
If they really want to broach the subject of infertility fir Sairat and not one of the other couples, why not do so with realistic messaging- normal public cant afford surrogacy. A regular middle class couple will either try ivf, adopt or be without offspring.
Why don't they show Sairat adopt and BK throwing a fit about apna khoon etc and how Sairat bust those conventional notions too. Drama hoga usmein bhi. Bk gang will find it very hard to accept adoption but it'd be great messaging- nayi soch n all....aise ideas kyun nahi aate inko....
Adoption is easier said than done. The need to procreate and take your legacy/heritage/family name forward is deeply rooted and is not that easy for people to get over. Even people who think adoption is a noble thing, a good thing to do cannot sometimes imagine themselves adopting ...
There are so many aspects to adoption.
For example people may have concerns about genetic things. When you make a baby with someone you know, you feel like you have more control over knowing what traits to expect. Whereas when you adopt you dont know who the biological parents are. So that's a lot of uncertainty. Not that we have certainity or control over our own baby but subjectively we feel like we do.
Its also definitely true that there is a certain bond that comes from sharing your DNA with a person.
So there are many aspects to explore. All of which can be high on drama.
And If they want to show conflict between Sairat and not just Sairat vs family, they can show difference of opinion about adoption between them too. Maybe they can make it interesting where V would be ok with adoption whereas Sai who has never known a blood relation except her father, will crave to have that connection in her life. Or vice versa too. Sai knows the pain of being an orphan whereas V is very conservative. There are so many possibilities....
Infact they can have conflicts about work life balance, family planning, financial issues etc.
Why do they need to insert pp in between Sairat for conflict and drama?!
I don't think audience craves a 3rd angle....its the makers obsession. And i just don't understand why ...
People can drift apart or have issues without having a 3rd person involved!
