But This is problematic in SO many ways.
Why are writers so hellbent on proving compatibility of a married man with other woman?
If this is the case of compatibility: I want Dumann& kaka to take part in best couple show.
Want Hardik & Rishita to take part in best couple show.
Want Dev & Raavi to take part in next couple show.
You don't have to be sorry. A relative of mine was getting divorced, and the judges gave 6 months time. They were separated and the families were looking for prospective grooms.
It looks sorry here because it's a show and it's supposed to inspire and not induce cringe. That's my biggest pet peeve. I wanted the divorce too. Nahi diya makers ne tho big deal for me. The day I find it triggering beyond my capacity, I shall switch off and move on. I did the same when the stupid stuff of pregnancy being the dream goal of a true woman was being doled out. I came back to watch when I started like it.
Here, I simply stated what a foil character does to the story. It's never Shiva vs Raavi, Dhara Vs.... etc etc etc. It's a story and it's being told.
Some parts are shitty. Idiotic like bringing in a third wheel while still being married. I may be like what the hell but it brings spice to the story and takes it forward. It may be morally ambiguous but it is what it is.
Feels like cringe most of the time.
Shit happens in real life, worse than this. That's why time and again, I have emphasised that I like this track IGNORING the fact that they are legally married on papers.
It's simply fiction for me and not triggering me as such.
Writers aren't hell-bent on proving anything, the writers don't hate their characters, not butcher them contrary to what the audience would like to believe. People like shitty stuff and they serve it. Shows like Mirzapur with adultery and blah exist but are considered narratives.
Similarly, I watch it with a certain sense of detachment.
They are simply telling a story with all masala incorporated to generate TRP. In short, it's a business product.
So, in short, yes, it's so so so problematic and wrong representation. The makers have chosen this route, and we all can do nothing but give feedback and express displeasure. Rest, they hardly care as long as it beings back business to them.
