although this rant of mine is directed towards all hindi soaps (except maybe 24) it is stimulated by today's episode aka the last episode of krpkab for me. that's right, this is break up post.
what even are they showing. now at this stage we all know the stale, over-used plot that will follow before the trps drop and the show winds up. sona will leave, a whole lot of drama will follow, coincidences involving their child will occur (bade ache lagte hai shit all over again), they'll know maami's plan and accordingly the redemption will take place after numerous leaps, trials and tribulations. my problem is WHY. WHY must the girl wait for luck to turn to her favour. WHY must she always be the adarsh, honest, abla naari. WHY is it that when a girl raises her voice to prove her point she's considered as non bahu and horrible wife material ? the answer is. decades of regressive and suppressive indian tv shows have fed it into our subconscious minds that women must be gracefull and diplomatic and should treat people with complete respect even when they same people insult her knowingly or unknowingly. krpkab is the result of the same stupid mindset.
now i know many of you'll will say that such shows are showing the reality and many women face this bu*****t and to that my reply is- so you affirm and support the bu*****t she's going through by portraying her favourite character going through that and not taking a stand ? duniya waise hi buri hai uske upar se you'll go like look- "even pretty little mbbs sona goes through this, tum kya cheez ho ? bear it!!"
now if you're gonna say its just a fiction show and is of no impact then let me ask you- have you not spent hours thinking about this show long after an episode has aired ? have you not spent hours thinking about how it should have happened or speculating what will happen next ? have you not spent hours expressing your anger, opinion, thoughts on this forum and read what others have said too ? if you're answer for any of this is yes then congrats- you've been influenced. now i know one one show makes no difference but this has undoubtedly been the format for every goddamned indian tv show and hence has embedded itself into our already regressive society making it more regressive. and its not our fault either i mean, repetition is the key. its a psychologically proven fact (i've done my research ok) that more you see something, more is your attitude affected by it.i mean, that's exactly how aggressive advertisements work. they repeat the ad so many times that we subconsciously start to favour the product and eventually buy it (done my research here too). so now, you'll are smart enough to to put 2 and 2 together and acknowledge what every show does to our society. and so are the producers. they KNOW the influence their shows have on masses and that the audience is hooked. and yet, yet they are neglectful of the content and the characters they show. i mean ekta kapoor being a woman promotes such mysogny. so yes i think that my anger id 200% justified and i'm 300% never going to make the mistake of thinking that a show may be mature and progressive and watch it ever, ever again.
no i dont have the patience for time to pass and cvs to make positive changes, no i dont trust the cvs any f*****g more and i believe that sonakshi or anyother woman should ever have to bear such ill treatment or wait for her inlaws to get to their senses and admire her again. i also know that me not watching the show wont make a difference to anyone except me but unless we dont boycott such nonsense, we cant expect change. so yes, i'm gonna re watch friends at 9:30 everynight, have a good laugh and be happy that i dont support this drama anymore.( i mean indian tv shows in general)
peace out.
