O yes I saw this video yesterday. Jammy's take on this was very good. I was very young when the Bengali version of this show was aired. I don't remember much watching it, but I knew the opening title track of the show. My grandmothers were so invested in this show.
My mother used to watch Imlie and GHKKPM but stopped watching because of how problematic it was. Malini was such a good Character but the show was in the name of Imlie, so they had to do Bechari Imlie and vamp Malini. Aditya being the "man", gets out of any problem. In ghum, I think everyone just wake up and tick their to-do list of belittling Sai.
I also saw one comment of IPZN and other shows about how they have good storyline and plot but they have to be changed in between because of trp and Indian audiences are fed so much with these problematic plots that they can't enjoy good shows.
The young minds are filled with these lies and problems and it's been from the ages. If change has to be brought, it would be very difficult. Not impossible but very difficult.
Thank you for coming in my IF talkπ

I've never followed the Bengali originals of any of the popular shows (except for the Sasural Genda Phool one I thinkπ€) but some of my family members lived and breathed these showsπ so I kinda sorta know about the plots and stuff. It's surprising how these managed to stay popular for so long and way more strange how Star Plus, being one of leading channels (not a regional network like Star Jalsha) is okay promoting such themes on their platformsπ³
