Hi, I am sorry but I really do not agree with what's written in the paragraph above.
Some people may follow the thinking stated above, but I am sure I speak for most members when I type this.
We did not hate Lavanya because she wore skimpy dresses and did not know much about the culture.
NK does not even know Hindi properly - do we hate him? No.
The reason there was an animosity against Lavanya was because she was portrayed as a character who was not particularly nice to Khushi. She started off as someone who was mean, and this naturally brought on the dislike towards her.
But she changed, and she became nicer. Did we still hate her? No. The moment she changed for the better, the forum sympathised with her.
It was the channel's and the CVs decision to change her clothes. However the Indian clothes did not sprout our love for her.
Likewise, we do not love Khushi because she knows the culture, is obedient and wears Indian clothes.
There have been protagonists in the past in different serials, who have worn Western Clothing, and everyone have loved them.
We love Khushi for who she is. Not what she wears
She is a fun-loving, bubbly, fiery, moralistic, honest girl. She does not take shit from people, but at the same time she is considerate of others' feelings.
And I don't understand why Khushi needs to learn how to speak English, wear dresses to get people's respect?
She has my respect for who she is - even though she can't speak English, not educated and does not wear dresses. And I am not saying that I love her because she is those things. I am saying that I love her despite her not being able to speak English, not being educated and not wearing dresses.
