Will the real man please stand up?
Wimp or steelwilled? Strong or just smarmy? Does television portray real men or just figments of someone's imagination, wonders

TELEVISION serials have spawned a new generation of saas-bahus, sisters-in-law, daughters and an ever-increasing tribe of extended families. Women want to be like the tenacious Tulsi, the pure Parvati and the brave Bani. Woman power is on a roll...
But whatever happened to the men? They are slotted either into Kamal of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii category who's never got his due or that of Jai Walia in Kasamh Se, who loses all semblance of sanity, thanks to his manipulative sister. And, of course, there's Anurag of Kasautii Zindagii Kay, who stands by while his life is governed by women who flutter in and out of the serial.
So, who's the real man in real life? The mute wimp who doesn't really have a say or the Angad-like rockstar, who lives life on his own terms, much like Mr Bajaj of Kasautii Zindagii Kay?
Everybody considers our Rishabh the REAL MAN, and anurag the 'mute wimp' 😆 Looks like the writer hasnt seen recent kzk..because now rishabh is also a wimp. 😕 and prerna is the only 'real man'. 😆
chalo, at least his public image is intact :)
