Waise appreciation for our AT. We swung out of that funk within hours, whereas fandom was scared all weekend. I was so surprised to see the relief on Monday, because main bhool hi gayyi thi us theory ke baare mein.

One thing that's annoying me...there's not nearly enough criticism of Mandaar. Ik he's the villain and we expect him to be gross, but I kind of want to start a conversation on consent in the MF. It's important to talk about- about how no means no, which Mandaar isn't understanding, but also, and this isn't discussed enough, only and only yes means yes. Silence doesn't mean yes. Fear doesn't mean yes. I know no one wants to waste time talking about the villain, but there are so many Mandaar red flags which we all encounter in life as women, and I wish we were having this conversation rather than constant BTS freak outs. :((

Exactly Sandeep Sir already has raised many issues through this show already. If you will notice :-

1. He showed how a widow girl is not a dukhiyari these days but strong, independent and no nonsense type just like any other normal unmarried or married girl.

2. He showed that just because she is a widow do not mean she has sacrificed all her desires. Pallavi also desired for someone to love her , appreciate her. and most of all he showed that how even a widow girl can also gets physically attracted to a handsome guy and then eventually fall in love slowly. Isn't it true these days widow or divorced girls normally again remarries or have relationships just like any normal girl.

3. He showed Pallavi being a widow do not mean she is weak but she is a strong willed, self respecting girl who will take no BS from anyone.

4. He showed that a person can be multi layered and complex and that do not mean he is bad guy.

5. He showed that just because you respect and love your wife and ask for your wife's consent to become physically intimate do not means you have lost your manliness.

6. Now the current issue, the track of obsessive stalkers who cannot take no for an answer. There are numerous cases all over the world where girls are assaulted just because the guy cannot take no for an answer. Through this track Sandeep Sir is trying to raise the issue that consent is very important and you cannot force anyone even if she is your wife/girlfriend to become physically intimate without her permission.

Yes, in many ways we are. Just because sexuality is more openly expressed people like to claim content is getting bolder but that's not what being progressive is about na? FLs are being held to higher and higher standards. Ever since Gul has entered the scene, there is almost this race of who can make the most abusive ML have a large fanbase.

Look at shows running on mainstream channels in the 2000s- where, these days, are channels like star one which were at least pushing the envelope for their time? Or the so called 'mahaan' FLs of early Ekta- for their entire gamut of flaws, at least they used to have a spine, and the female audience actually cheered them on moral victories rather than mock them for being virtuous (somehow, that's become a bad thing nowadays- you have to be 'grey' to be liked). Where are our light hearted but unproblematic comedy shows, like Khichdi or Sarabhai? Where are shows on GECs geared towards children and younger audiences, like Shararat or Sonpari (which were both Star Plus, I think) Where are the shows which colors used to be known for, which would at least try (with varying degrees of success) to deliver a social message?

Unfortunately, in the past decade, TV has become painfully homogeneous and more and more problematic by the year. And it's vicious, because audiences are getting desensitized to the issues in such content, and so unproblematic content is just rejected now- case in point, an ML valuing consent being labeled as Gopi Bahu, or wanting an FL to be assaulted to 'teach her a lesson' or as Siku said, a show being rejected because FL 'bechari' nahi hai.

Trust me, in my early teenage even I used to be Fida on gul ki dramas. The eye locks and stuff were new back then. Isse acche the Disney wale English aur hindi shows.

Gul has implanted manhandlings deep into people's mind, so much that toxicity is now accepted and people are asking for it. She made all the female leads illiterate, incapable, possible of doing only ghar ka kaam and flutter around with silly clumsiness. Female Lead ko epitome of sanskaar and male lead ko epitome of arrogance bana ke, she implicated manhandlings as a romantic deed. Now when I think about it, all the time the lead manhandled her and corrected with an eye lock, I hate myself for admiring it once up a time. Rich business tycoon with dark past is now 🤪(well, except for Raghav. That man is not included)

I miss those old star one days! We used to get various genre of shows and amazing plots.

One fine day, I ended up watching a CW show called One Tree Hill, that changed my perspective forever. Hayley and Brooke were one woman army and I have never seen a show as amazing as that. Then KYY happened. I'm happy that it happened.

This show changed a lot of notions. Men do not need to be reserved. He has all the rights to cry, to express himself and express his emotions. Why is it so important to bottle up a man's feelings? And why is it important for a woman to express all her feelings? A woman can be dark and reserved too. A woman can bottle up too. These are stupid pressures put on a person.

Breaking this is more difficult than accepting this.

We've all enjoyed shitty stuff as kids and teenagers- it's a combination of not knowing better, and that being all that was available for a while. I genuinely believe 4 Lions is one of the worst things to have happened to ITV, for the trends they have set, at the risk of offending many.

I loved One Tree Hill! All the women were fabulous, but Brooke Davis was someone I truly, truly related to and looked up to!

Hello folks, long time no see!

Just here to share my OS, incase anyone would like to give a read to a hatke scene between RaghVi and Mandar ~

@purple- so true, they promoted so much toxicity.

@Bold- Brooke Davis 🤩 She was a queen!
