Hey Divya ... Ola SJ ... nice to see a shift, however, small against the tidal wave of the current warped storyline being dished out as refreshing, intense, passionate love story. I, too, like you watch SP cause of my appreciation of my culture and roots. I knew certain sacrifices were to be made when watching Hindi serials ... like logic, continuity, polish etc but seriously one has got to draw the line somewhere ... what irks me is that call spade a spade ... IPKKND touted itself to be cutting edge, I bought into that mostly because of the leads ... but to hook and reel to you in and then to present this travesty! seriously how is hodge podging stories from the likes of Kitani Mohabbat Hai, with the hint of Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain presenting something never been done before? Don't get me' wrong I love the leads and it's pretty much the only tenuous link that's anchoring me' to this show ... but it is thin ice the CVs are treading. My second crib is the socialogical conotations to the whole a man has to be aggressive, mean, overbearing not to mention verging on physical abuse to be worthy of being the swoony hero ... I'm flabbergasted at how this is being lapped up and lauded ... makes wonder how can ppl want this ? This isn't what a real or healthy relationship is based on ? So many ppl are saying oh Asr saved khushi from Shyam ... like huh? How? Or now trust is going to build ... huh? How? In what universe does close proximity to a person who dislikes you a foundation to building trust ? The more I was reading on this forum the greater my doubt as to what relationships are like in India ... has there been any progress on the empowerment of women ? Seems unlikely especially where ppl are loosely throwing the word rape around ... I literally gaped when I saw that not one or two ... but multiple you've on this were flinging around ... With little or no regard got what horrors are associated with that one word for thousands of victims who have suffered this brutalisation! ... Sorry the post is getting a bit too heavy ... I'll end it here ... and apologies for the preachy narrative. Peace out x
