Well yeah, I get that. In fact, I did wish at certain instances Kaju was stronger. But then again when you are looking at a character, circumstances also matter.
Kaju was internally strong and gave it back to Phool Singh on many occasions. She even raised her voice in front of Neel's father when he insulted her mother. She shut Bhoomi up when she crossed her limit. But she wasn't as educated and also Neel did a lot for her, suffered endlessly and hence she tolerated a lot of shit simply for his sake.
I don't see her weak that way. Not everyone can be Jhansi Ki Rani type of strong. And people do sacrifice a lot for their loved ones. Unfortunately ITV has portrayed its FLs in such a way that now even if a FL is reasonably kind and sacrificial, people tend to catagorize them into Tulsi/Parvati.
That's why GSMI has been a altime favorite of mine despite some of its drawbacks.
When you are showing a romantic story, it is dependent on both the protagonists and Neel and Kaju had that strong base of their relationship from the very beginning. In fact, there was a gradual progression in them.
Jhanak as a character may be good. But none of the remaining portion comes as close to GSMI in my honest opinion.
Even Pavitra was a reasonable enough grey turned evil character unlike Arshi.
So... You know... 🤗🤗🤗
For me a genuinely better story would be if Jhanak could tell Ani to F*** off and live her life on her own terms. That would be empowerment in its truest sense. 🔥🔥🔥
