The writers seem to detest woman in general. The way every woman character is portrayed on this show is abysmal. Suman Kaki, Dhara, Rishita, Raavi, Mami, Anita, Kirti, Motiben, and (what the heck!) Kalyani.
Not woman is shown in a positive hammer that we can relate to (except Raavi because we feel sorry for her). Across my life, I can't think of any one woman who would do or take the kind of shit these women are shown to do / take on the show.
My grandmother brought up her brother-in-law's children along with her own. But the minute all the children hit 18 (including her own), they were pretty much told they had take decisions for themselves. She supported them & guided them accordingly, but made sure they all got an education, knew how to handle finances, and ensured they were well settled in their lives.
I have a cousin who lost her father pretty early in her childhood. Like Raavi, she was determined to marry this guy, and she did when she was 18-and-half. We were all worried about her. But she had two kids, got her master's degree, sorted out her in-laws financial issues & is currently studying for UPSC exams.
My aunt got married to this guy against her parents' wishes (like Rishita), and the family also created problems for the couple post marriage. She completely cut them off. His family was also not majorly fond of my aunt but accepted her anyway. My aunt finished her education on her own, and is currently one of the top executives in a national firm. Despite the initial issues, my uncle doesn't let anyone give her shit, but balances out between his family and her.
These people are live examples in my life with somewhat similar situations who have come out on top through sheer grit & determination.
And look at the disastrous portrayal of women on the show.
