Something I have observed, and I might be completely wrong here, is that people tend to view these kind of shows and their characters through quite a conservative lens.
While I understand there is a big difference between reel and real, but this isn't set in some dystopian world with different values, morals or sense of right & wrong. Would the same expectations be put on real women?
For instance, if we take the example of the actress playing Raavi. Would it be okay for her partner to have a say in who she can work with or be friends with? Would giving a thank-you-hug or taking a lift home be seen as inappropriate? Would a colleague coming to visit her when she isn't well be seen a overstepping some boundary? Would she be expected to stop being friends with him or working with him if her partner doesn't like him? Would wanting to confirm information before telling anyone be labelled wrong? Would she be expected to work on her relationship despite being treated badly?
These and some other such questions do come to my mind and I truly hope the answer is "No".
