These days since i have nothing to watch😭, i sit in front of my TV to watch KSBKBT, just for laughs.😕
The current track has Ganga's (played by SS🤢) husband in a relationship with another woman. In typical kekta style, Tulsi maiiyaa gives a knee-jerk reaction by hurling bhashans at Saahil and turning him out of the house.
And, again typically Kekta, the "other woman" is actually a gold-digger who is in a plot to ruin the family.
It's the same story in all Kekta dramas--the men are all wimps, the wives and mothers are all devis, and the other women is a vamp who will go to any extent--even ruin her own personal life and career--to get the man she wants.😡
But lately, Sony has reversed this trend, by making the WIFE the vamp, while the heroine willy-nilly becomes the "other woman".
We saw it in JJKN during the badla track where Armaan longed for his love while his wife Mallika hovered jealously in the background.
In kekta soaps, the "other woman" fakes pregnancy to bind the man to her; in JJKN, the reverse happened as Mallika pretended to be pregnant just so Armaan would stay with her, EVEN THOUGH she was well-acquainted with his passion for Jassi.
The same thing is shown in ELAS, where the heroine Anu has, by a twist of fate, become the "other woman" (it's another thing that she actually loves Nikhil); while his wife Tulika is the conspirator.
So my question is--is this Sony's deliberate strategy to give a reversed perspective on extra-marital relationships?Do you think watching such serials would enable people to see both sides of the story?
Or are they just taking the easy way out by substituting one "vamp" for another; over-simplifying a sensitive isue like this by making the spouse so negative that it "justifies" the husband falling for another woman?
