This is a rant I posted in the Episode Update thread that I felt deserved a post of its own just because I feel so strongly about it. Not because I want anyone to comment - I just want to say it!
After episodes like today why do people still want to bash prerna?
Why is it always the woman’s fault?
If prerna trusts anurag, she has no self respect or intelligence, anurag has told her to walk away, why can’t she just do that!
If prerna doesn’t trust anurag, look how fickle and stupid she is unlike anurag who trusted her!
If prerna fights about Rajesh, she is being unfair and bringing things up at the wrong moment, anurag’s father has just becomes conscious!
If prerna doesn’t mention Rajesh, what a terrible daughter she doesn’t care, the Sharmas are stupid idiots!
If prerna stays in the basu house, what is her plan, she is not intelligent, she is not even doing anything!
If prerna leaves anurag, she didn’t believe in her love or fight for it!
If she tries to be a business competitor, how did foolish prerna even think of doing that and what a stupid plan!
If prerna tried to take revenge, that’s not true love and why is she not just walking away!
If prerna decides to marry Naveen Babu and make him her family’s son, why an idiotic girl who is unlike girls of today why can’t she just get a job in a call centre and earn money!
If prerna get angry with anurag for marrying Komolika, why is she bejngbeing so selfish why can’t she understand what the pressure anurag was put under and the difficult choice he had to make!
Whatever prerna does there will always be one section of the audience ready to stone the girl. Hence my question, why is it always prerna’s fault?
These are the same constraints society places on us as women in our daily lives versus our male contemporaries.
The same constraints placed on Erica versus Parth by fans.
The same constraints placed on Prerns versus anurag in the serial.
I am not saying prerna is written perfectly. But neither is anurag. And I am sick of hearing this bashing of prerna in the name of wanting a strong female lead while justifying anurag.
For once can we agree that she on her own saved the basus. She is behaving appropriately by not demanding an apology or thanks in the middle of Tapurs engagement as she did it for her kaka Babu and the man she still (foolishly or not) loves. It has been a few months since anurag broke her heart. How many of you have so magically gotten over this so quickly? If someone is at fault here it is anurag and the basus who have not apologised or thanked her.
