That's always been the case in ITV na. Girl takes the initiative, girl goes after the guy, guy falls for her, her parents refuse or object and she flips. The sad part is they try to tell us ki ladki ki koi galati nahi hain. She is the "good girl". Papa ki pari, mumma ki ladli... whatever. They come up with only two choices. Either she rejects her love or rejects her parents. They have the option of showing a middle ground but these shows NEVER take the middle ground with it comes to the FL.
Happens in every soap... Local news channels show otherwise...
