well look at it this way .
it has nothing to do with education or illiteracy , it has to do with attitude of a human being . I would not even say a woman ...a human being . When a crisis afflicts life , attitude of various human beings comes to the fore . There r counsellors who understand , people who sympathise deeply , those who r indifferent and too wrapped up in their own life , those who fear social gossip , those who actually support their husbands for status though having ugly fights in bedroom .
What Ekta showed was bitchiness of woman , how much a woman can sink to . A woman like Ankita will fight for her , a woman like Kinnari will only taunt her .
Vandu's mom was illiterate but Vandu was not . She was educated . Yet she chose that ordeal due to society pressure .Kinnari is educated . Snobs and cats r among the educated and rich too in abundance , so r timid rabbits , so r people like Naren .
Its best to tell the growing youth the truth , than sheltering them ...this however needn't be anyone's view , it is however mine . Best to tell children that the boogeyman looks very normal , not to to talk to normal looking strangers as most serial killers r handsome . sheltering them can make them naive . They then find out truths in a hard hitting way . Does not mean u show them gory violence or po*n . No way . But letting them know little by little . BT did not show Manasi even running helter skelter , the old films showed much more , trust me . All they showed was a conversation , the idea of rape and him buttoning his sherwani ...it was very very mild compared to movies in the seventies when kids did not even have compulsory sex education and those movies did not have an A certificate .
Now what will be shown is different reactions . Outrage , sympathy[ Shashank Ankita Prashant], hypocrisy [ by the Karmarkars] , plain villainy [ Raunaq kinnari duo] , mixed feelings [ Sohum ] .
All this will simply be showed without any captions . And people will watch it . Nowadays Ankita Naren story is watched indifferently , Raunaq Manasi story is watched , giving him cuss words but with obvious excitement .
