Sns was no 1 for many months too. I like watching sns. And KB too.the actors in both shows are good. Its not that people of older generation watch these shows. I am an educated working professional yet I like watching them. I hate watching realistic shows on TV.. Extremely boring for me.

Realistic TV shows are the best like Savdhaan India. It educates and guides what is happening in the society and how to be alert. I never feel bore watching it. After-all it is reality of the society I am part of. But yes entertainment is also important so fictions shows are also good. but shows like SNS are an insult of ones intelligence and tolerance level. These shows can never entertain me but increase my blood pressure due to unbearable sheer stupidity being shown.

I watch one day due to grandma...I was forced to watch and also I have to watch YHM which airs after SNS...had no choice but tag along...I had migraine watching it...my good luck...I did not faint and admitted in the hospital...I bleed blood watching 30 mins of that shit...I can't even tolerate it for few seconds...and such shit rules top 2...how does people watch this crap...ekta's KSBKBT/KGGK...which is on the same line of saas-bahu saga seems like a masterpiece art than this shit...

Saath Nibhana Saathiya 🤣🤣 Gooopiii Bahuuu😆😆

I agree with the manhandling part...i don't like it either!

But KKB is A LOT better than the regressive and abusive crap that is and has been shown on other channels.

At least, we don't have Abhi physically beating up Pragya, raping her, torturing her in a brutal brutal way and driving her insane to the level that she ends up in a mental asylum???

Yes, he is always threatening her (of course, those death threats are never serious). If you've watched the show, he is a mouse in disguise of a lion...😆 He is shown to be the bad guy but he has a good side and a soft heart too. Which is what Pragya has fallen for (Yes, her falling for this was a little rushed...could have been scripted better).

The story was always about how destiny plays a role in bringing two people, who are poles apart and victimized by misunderstandings, together.

I am sure none of us is in favour of regressive behaviors. In the end, it's Abhi-Pragya's chemistry, Shabir Sriti's good acting skills and the idea of these two weird people falling in love that keeps us glued to the show. Doesn't mean we favour or support regressive shit!

Thank you saara ... I too don't like the manhandling part ... !!! Yes, I might be a sucker for romance stories and enjoy KKB, but that does not mean that am stupid or support abusive behavior!!! Would "Beauty and the Beast" fall in the category of "abuse"?

I'm fine with people not liking KKB, but as is the case in most, if not all, relationships, romantic and otherwise, no relationship is perfect. I find it hypocritical to brand the story "regressive shit" and to cast aspersions on people who enjoy it when there are so many worse influences and examples out there! To the armchair critics, pseudo intellects and morality police with their condescending attitude... sorry, but I am not ashamed of saying that I like this story!!! Everyone is presented with the same facts, but not everyone views these facts through the same lenses; opinion divides our view points.

Millions of women are abused every day - physically hurt, beaten, threatened, belittled, and even killed, and I find it an insult to trivialize their experience by comparing them to KKB!! How about doing something about actual abuse and leave KKB alone?

Those who don't like the story but take the time to criticize it says more about them than it does the story, and if they have looked at it and want to bash it, well it just wasn't the right story for you. So get over it and stop trying to spoil others' joy in it.

I find it a common tendency in this forum and some others to label stories as typical "saas -bahu dramas" or "regressive" or chracters as "doormats" , " mahan" in a sarcastic kind of way. Shows are made as per the taste of Indian audience. It is the audience who decides which shows stay and which shows are taken off air as they contribute to TRPs. Whether the Indianaudience likes regressive stories or doormat characters is purely their choice. We are no one to question their tastes. Watching a "regressive" show does not make one regressive in real life nor does enjoying watching a doormat character make one a doormat in real life.
And yes there are educated women in real life who may stay in marriages which are abusive for the sake of family or children. I guess people are still not that modern in their way of thinking as members here. So calling it shit may be realityfor some.
I watch SNS and I watch KB. And on TV. And will continue watching it because I Like it. Very simple 😊
P.S. Millions of viewers outside this forum do not find it crap so I am not in minority.

I feel like this concept is always romanticized to a huge extent, in every Tellywood show, so much that people don't even realize what they are watching anymore. Pragya should have left Abhi ages ago, if it were a real person in her position we'd be appalled at Abhi's behaviour to her, but the romantic background music and cheesy falls somehow make it acceptable to people.

I am just waiting for the day Pragya leaves Abhi or gets tired of his shit, I want him to regret how he treated Pragya because he doesn't deserve her, he deserves Tanu tbh.

I understand what some members are saying but this is a really good show. The nuances of the characters, the emotions, writing, very impressive.

Sure there are scenes made to stretch the imagination and increase TRPs but these are shows that last many years and have to capture audiences week after week. There has to be a balance of shock, drama, relevance, trying to be original and captivating week after week.

I think they've portrayed Pragya as a strong willed girl who is also ruled by her mom and her condition. This rules her decision making, as an audience who watches, I think looking at her in totality will help us understand and enjoy the show for what it is.

I don't think everything is in pure black and white, as human we have shades of grey too. I'm sure there are better and drama free shows out there and no one is compelled to watch what they don't want to.

Which is why we have a remote or choice to turn things off should we not like it 😆

EXACTLY what I'm sayinnn'!

Hope you don't mind me responding to your post. I like watching these shows too and by calling the characters regressive or doormats, I don't think the forum members are questioning the taste of Indian audiences. They are terms used because the characterization frustrates or doesn't make sense. Also, if logical story lines and plot development were shown, who is to say the Indian audiences would not love the story? Making the heroine fight for her rights might empower women in India or elsewhere who face such harrassment to stand up for themselves. The problem that only such shows run forever could be cos the producers don't risk experimenting with truer to life stories, those may meet with even better reception from the audiences. And I think the fact that we are all here even to discuss the show means we do like watching it for whatever reason.
