Neha and Sona's character are pole apart; they had different childhood and upbringing yet,intentionally or unintentionally they managed to create troubles in their respective brothers married life.
No wonder women choose to stay in violent relationships despite being treated equally by their parents. Society has no place for divorced women, not yet!
Hope makers will handle this matter more sensitively! Wish show could be bit more empathetic towards divorced women!
The serial is trying its best to portray the reality existing today. Compared to last two decades or even earlier, a divorced woman is scorned and treated with a lot of contempt. Today, the situation in India (cities and metros) have changed dramatically. A divorced person can find another life partner and a woman divorcee has also uplifted herself to becoming financially independent and a stronger individual. I would not like to compare Sonakshi's character here as it's not clear whether Dev-Sonakshi are divorced. There was also just a single mention about Neha settled in US. Was she divorced from Ranvir too is yet to be confirmed, though inferences can definitely be drawn.
A failed marriage is looked upon as a failure of an individual to adjust to circumstances and investing in new relationships. The issues of domestic abuse, infertility, infidelity or dowry etc are only some reasons for failure. But, majority of divorced people have issues of adjustment. Egos and unfulfilled expectations form majority of them. Today the society is accepting them and not belittling them. In that context, the serial has been quite realistic in its portrayal. The acceptance of Sonakshi by her family and Neha by the Dixit clan shows a changing mindset. Of course, if you are expecting divorcees to be glorified in serials, that may be too far-fetched and entirely depends on the script.
