Well said Fari👏 !!! It was particularly good to see the quotes made by the makers of the show and channel creative heads, because I was reassured that the whole Parichay - reprise of a fallen hero, male centric etc was not a figment of my imagination that has been subject to tortures of melodramatic nari-shakti attyachaar over the years🤢.
I am a woman and am proud of being one too and I know like Fari said that my country often has to be reminded of the importance of my gender,but like Fari I too would like to ask does it have to be at the cost of those men who held our hands and propelled us forward😕?
When I first saw Parichay I thought finally maybe we will get the story of one such man, maybe we will get to see how a man thrives amidst the teary eyed self sacrificing bahu's,beti's,saasu maa's and maa's of the world, but it was not to be, Kunal had to be sacrificed at the altar of 'nari mahanta'.😡
Smart, witty Kunal Chopra had to make way for the tears and sacrifices of Siddhi Chopra.The initial couple of times when this happened we did not complain ,we recognised that Siddhi was helping him back into a life that he had forsaken.Kunal had to learn but then what we feared happened, the makers of the show refused to step out of the comfortable ways of the past decade, can't blame them can we,afterall who would leave aside the easy copy paste chai paani livestyles and venture out to do the unattempted, right😉?
Nowadays all that Kunal Chopra has to do is walk around offering his spiderwoman wife vitamins and lots of love while she stomps around the city cleansing it of its evils!👏
Well no one is stopping him nor his wife , but then we did rather switch over to another channel which airs shows where the makers haven't yet forgotten the original concept, where the creatives and writers still take the time and effort to think of the story, where care is taken to keep bloopers to a minimum, where lawyers practise law ,doctors practise medicine where the protagonists of the show do a lot more than empty glycerine bottles,send their intelligence on vacation and wait for FATE to alight from her magic carpet and set things right in their lives.😕
And I am sure the falling TRP's are already suggesting that many of the audience have decided that rather than see Kunal Chopra die a slow death we did remember him for what he was and then move on fresher pastures!!!😃
