Leave and do what exactly?? She's a young woman , pretty at that . Pregnant too . She's no educational qualifications. She can't take up any job that can provide her with bare minimum sustenance, a roof above her head , food and enough clothes to cover herself , without compromising on her honor. The moment she'll leave the protection of her home , she's absolutely no safety. She'll likely get raped . That's the real security status of young pretty women alone out there , with no back up. People far more educated than her drives auto rickshaw at Kolkata. Engineering students are driving uber Ola because they've no job. M.A pass people are working as house helps. Let's get real here and smell coffee.

I bet she knows that too. She knows she can't survive on her own. Her only options are reveal the entire story to her mother and brother and beg them to take her back and then she must complete her education, get as higher education as possible and then apply for jobs. Then there remains that pregnancy complication. At this point , if she wants to break free and carve a life for herself she must get an abortion. Now is the worst possible time for her as the as the baby to be born.

It's easy to throw around words like kick butts , leave everything and everyone and live her own life. If only life were that easy.

Our next house neighbor beats his wife every single day, everyone knows about it , he's also having an affair, yet the wife ( they've no children) couldn't leave her husband's house and this hell of a life because she's nowhere else to go and she's aware that her options are between prostitution, suicide or staying at her husband's house , working hard like a maid , bearing every single torture, because she's still having at least the security of her body , and food and clothing and roof. Reality is dark, tough and bleak. Look around . So many women are bearing with so much with gritted teeth on a daily basis because they have no other respectable options.

Before calling Prerna weak , let's give her some realistic advise regarding how she can have an alternative life that she can live with dignity. Right now , she's none. Absolute none. Unless she demands money from Bajaj for her service as Kuki's care giver. But then where's the dignity in that ??

@bold: I don't agree with this, unless you are willing to help yourself, no one will. There are horror stories I have heard about girls going abroad and being abused, and yet they break free from the marriage and find their own footing. I know these are exceptions, but you will not know the extent of your strength unless you are willing to test it. Atleast in 2019, there are enough NGOs and self help groups to support and help you. Most females bear the oppression thinking about society and its norms, and it is WRONG.

This below is a sobering post. I am so grateful you posted this. It is an insight into why ordinary people living miserable lives watch this drama on TV, (if they can afford a TV). It is escapism. I appreciate what Ekta is doing. The drama doesn't have to make sense, or reflect reality. It just has to look attractive and make you forget your life for 30 minutes. Yeah, it serves a purpose.
