Suja, I am all for strong women...but does their strength have to come at the expense of a man...in a love story, it is crucial to be able to connect to both lead characters..how do you fall in love with a man who stands ( in this case sits) by and watches as two women fight over him like dogs over a bone? Does the man in question feel good about being objectified thus? Why is it that dignified, educated women are always reduced to playing dirty games over a man? Whose ego does this really satisfy? Given that the audience is primarily female, do women then enjoy watching their counterparts on screen fight over men this way? I really don't know but increasingly feel that I should give up watching soaps altogether.
Sujatha, i am all for strong women myself...i was personally never the rona dhona type and could never connect with anyone who was emotionally so fragile. but never believed in the concept that "to show a woman as strong we need to show the man as weak and dumb". we can already see that it is satisfying the ego of KPji and RS and the CV team. as to the viewers, there is no denying that there are quite a few women out there who enjoy one female upping the other over a man. Man is a possession. "he is mine" is given a whole new meaning in their minds. and these days, i am finding my share of entertainment and enjoyment in my writings and in these discussions.
