Excellent points, Tina.👏
The heroine track is something we want very much, but is very unlikely to be of interest to mass-audience if the female lead is shown getting more powerful than the male lead. Especially with the aborted 'triangle' which has just gone past.
In reality, heroines have a much shorter career-duration than heroes, so no successful hero needs to worry. He'll still be hero while the heroines will all have to retire or play mothers and aunts.
And if the CVs set aside that basic point, they would still have to wrap up Madhu's career and make her housewife again if they show her career even inadvertently showing down her husband.
Want the heroine track to stay once it starts, and for that it will have to be without RK ever being shown as less than Madhu professionally.
We liked the Sultan track getting wrapped and terminated by the TRP audience dislike, but do *not* want to experience that for the stardom track.
Female lead's career - especially a glamorous non-social-service career - isn't likely to be a popular track anyway other than in tandem with the male lead, but it could be interwoven firmly into the lead couple's story to last the rest of the serial, and Madhu's career could be shown in intricacies throughout with no TRP-shoved wrap.
But if her career is at the cost of RK's, we may end up with the stardom track terminated within a short duration far faster than Sultan.
Really hope they develop the stardom track in a way that it won't end up rejected and scapegoated for any lack of miraculous rise in TRP/TVT.
