I partially agree with SOME of your sentiments, but I think you really REALLY need to read more on both sexual abuse, what implies crime, and what is okay in terms of social responsibility;
The fact you said: I do not live in India and so it does not impact me directly,
shows your privilige. That takes away your right to judge who and what anyone needs to watch, firstly.
Secondly, if you think, you are some sort of savior who will show us how irredeemable our male leads are, please contextualise, at least, that.
The point of the show IS to see it from BOTH the male AND the female points of view. IF anika helping a girl realize her dreams or whatever the hell she was realizing is okay, then it is equally valid that the audience understands where shivaay was coming from and how he dealt with a situation.
If you, or your sort of view point, cannot pin point problems that express social issues that are predominant enough and yet, available enough to be expressed in this sort of popular culture, then please, re-evaluate, re-read, and please, re-acknowledge other kinds of knowledges, and other kinds of experiences that do not involve liberal middle-class pseudo-white feminisms😊
