@JALK2000 I absolutely understand what you are trying to say, to be very honest KRPKAB is definitely not the best example in terms of depicting feminism. It's probably not regressive but in terms of depicting true feminism they have failed. So currently I see the show as a fiction instead of taking any social message from it.
Remember the time when Dev's over possessiveness track was going on and how Sonakshi had given him a long talk/lecture on independence & woman's empowerment instead of trying to understand the exact reason for his behaviour and how in the forum as well many of us were proud of Sonakshi for taking a stand, that is the makers way of showing feminism , when that track should have been about the detachment/insecurity issues that Dev faced it became all about makers twisted way of feminism . I mean Dev was the very same person who never stopped his sisters nor Sonakshi or for that matter even Ishwari from pursuing their career/dreams. In fact he could have easily given Malti money but instead he gave her daughter job so that the self respect of that family is maintained, yet they showed Dev as a male chauvinist who wanted his wife to sit in house, I mean how ridiculous can it get. If this is what the makers mean by feminism then sorry I am not a feminist.
If the makers way of showing feminism means a strong independent woman must become emotionless then sorry I am not a feminist. If the makers way of showing feminism means for the Wife to succeed the Husband had to sacrifice his career/dreams then sorry I am not a feminist. If the makers way of showing feminism means that the mother or father should not compromise on her career so as to take care of the kid then sorry I am not a feminist. When feminism should be about the equality of rights of both Man & Woman what the makers show is anything but that.
Now coming to the Sonakshi's "Bhajiwala comment I would say let's take it in a humorous way. But as far as the reactions are concerned if Dev would have said the same then we would have gone ballistic, remember the time when Dev called Bijoy "Budhau or "Mogambo even those were said on a lighter note yet there were so many strong reactions in the forum, so unfortunately the rules are different for men & women. In fact I remember quite a few saying how Sonakshi could tolerate Dev calling Bijoy Mogambo and criticised her as well.
Let me give you one more example of how rules are different, when Sonakshi calls Dev "Mumma's Boy it shows how weak is Dev and how he is still holding on to his mother, in fact in our society as well when any Male is called a "Mumma's Boy it's taken as a insult but does the same hold true when a female is called "Daddy's Girl, the answer is No, In fact the girl is looked upon with pride for being a "Daddy's girl just like Sonakshi is shown as Bijoy Bose's daughter. So yes the rules are different for a man & a woman.
Coming to yesterday's episode I was totally lost, I could not connect to Sonakshi's speech even though many in the forum were going gaga over it, but what was more ridiculous is Dev needing Ishwari's permission for taking care of his own son and while all this is happening Sonakshi keeping absolutely quiet, when she was not allowing Dev to speak when Ishwari was speaking with the Nanny and asked Dev to learn from his mistakes what happened to her before Ishwari why did she not say to Ishwari that Dev is the father of there kids and has more right than Ishwari to take care of them, isn't it double standards.
Anyways I have low hopes from the series , I watch it only for the kids & as a habit along with the tiny hope which
@SHAAVI's post give me.
Apologies for the long rant, I had to get it off me.
It's just my POV, no offence. Sorry if anyone is offended.
