Breaking stereotypes

Ekta's all heroines are cry babies all the time.

Pragya is the same I want her to stop crying and start thinking.

Also most of Ekta's heroines are housewives, I would love to see Pragya going back to college to teach.😛

I am going to be hated for saying this but those taunts to Tanu being the other woman, charitraheen etc etc dont sit well with me. Yes, she is not legally married to Abhi but Pragya is, but Pragya knows very well that Tanu and Abhi were a pair, and that she "came in between them", and that whether or not Tanu wants something Abhi very well wants to divorce Pragya and go back to Tanu. I am not siding with Tanu, at all, and she is wrong in wanting Abhi back to quite an extent, but why is everyone forgetting that it takes two to Tango and Abhi is totally there too, with Tanu. As is the case in all soaps, Tanu will be shown as the evil b#@#! who only cares for Abhi's money, and undeserving of his love, but well, lets ask ourselves some questions. Is it really bad for a super model/super successful careerwoman to ask her boyfriend to wait a year before they get married? Isn't the reverse situation viewed in a different light? I feel that its sad that for drama and TRP, women are objectified like this. A woman who is career oriented, asks her boyfriend to be practical and wait for her and wears figure hugging clothes is bad. But a salwar suit wearing, ready to leave her career for her husband, ready to forgive a husband who was caught red handed on her suhag raat, etc., a sati savitri. Both Tanu and Pragya, are examples of how disrespectful and distasteful the portrayal of women in Indian television is. But Abhi is made to be this rockstar who can do no wrong and has two women fighting for him, none of whom sadly deserve the treatment he is meating out to them and definitely deserve better.

So, yes, I want several stereotypes broken here. As a woman I feel as insulted when they show Pragya as a dimwit and not self respectful as I do when Tanu is made out to be the one who is solely responsible for being characterless...

Hello really nice and interesting post I want her to go back to work
I don't know if it's only on EK's shows but
evertime they describe woman like someone who knows only one thing cooking and cleaning nothing else that's quite "clich"
