I have never made a post after watching any episode of any show let alone ishbaaaz. But today i just couldn't control it.i am sure a lot of people are going to show their dissatisfaction with this episode but i feelit's no longer about the show. I have been an ardent viewer of ishqbaaaz for a while and there have been some questionable episodes in the show which i have,for the most part,overlooked,but today it was something else.something like this is horrifying to watch.it demeans women in the most gruesome manner.you don't even have to be a feminist to see that.i watched the episode with my mom and i felt humiliated and disgusted.what are the makers of the show trying to potray?that you have the right to throw people around,toss them up,blackmail them just because you are angry with them.and on top of that the woman just bears it all.women are some mahanatmayein who have been put on this earth to endure the cruelty of men,who are here just to be dealt according to the whims and fancies of men.😡
I don't even think its just fictional. Its not.sometime back there was a newspaper report about this girl being kidnapped by a guy who was inspired by shahrukh khan's character in Darr.can we now say with utmost surety that the entertainment industry is just for entertainment. That it doesn't have any impact on our lives.on top of that such tracks are promoted endlessly on social media as if they are worthy of winning a Nobel prize.
And ishqbaaz as a show has a lot more female viewership than male viewership.do the writers or makers feel that the female audience would love seeing something like this?
Is it even acceptable?on the one hand we have these women empowerment movies that are trying to make an effort to change peoples' mindsets while on the other hand we have such regressive and shameful television showsEven if this is for trps then also its like selling the importance and respect of women for it.
