hey all,

i have ben watching balaji soaps recently and have noticed it is mainly focused around women (e.. tusi, prena, janki, Gauri). it shws them to be great and powerfull people, which i totally agee with. Ekta Kapoor must also think this to base her shows on this.

But, if she thinks women are great, why oes he also make the central evil characters female? (maya, aparna, trishna). by doing this she is degrading females world wid and making them to cunning witches. (give or take a letter! 😆) By doing tis he must thik women are terrible. but thy are not.

Why do you think she does this? And whats your opinion on women being he main focus of the show? Or should it be focused on family?

Does she really think everyone lives they ways she portrays characters to live?

Thnx and pls reply!!😛

because as every successful man has a woman behind her, there is a woman behind bad men too. Women are the creatures who are pure so they are able to be bad and good without hesitation. Remember... being a mother and a Saas.
I know it is very difficult to accept this being a woman but it is true. Men have very little of their own, its mostly from their mother then from their wives, lovers or maybe sisters...
Anyways i wish women were as strong as men emotionally....

Interesting post 😊 I think that the way Ekta portrays her women is only strong on the front; in fact they're very dependent upon the men in their life, more importantly the masculine agency which defines them. All of these figures are portrayed as saintly ('sati-savitri' etc), can never do wrong, but that in itself is the image of women that men have created. In creating these women as figures of perfection, we are actually dehumanizing them. This is why when a female character does something slightly negative all of a sudden they are converted to being the 'vamp'--the evil of all evil. Women aren't allowed to be human--they can only be completely pure and good or completely evil. I don't think this is the case with male characters--who can have faults but still be inherently good characters (how many times have the men messed up and been forgiven and still loved by us, the audience?). I think it's sad that these women have the potential to be such strong figures, but still, inevitably give in to the constraints of a male-defined society and destiny. The worst part is that they do this under the mask of being 'liberated' and modern thinking figures. Also, not to provoke any arguement (as I really am just expressing my opinion) I do think women are as emotionally strong as men, many times stronger with the things they go through.
