Tanya, yes it does seem to be a problem especially in India from the news. But this is not a news documentary. This isn't a show that was advertised to be reflective of societal problems. This was supposed to be a show about pure relationships and love. PR is watched by families and children. Is this Ekta's sick joke that this is what love should be?
In my opinion, it is totally inappropriate for this t.v. show to show this kind of thing. Look, sending Raunak to jail is fine, even if they show it, but the trauma and the damage has already been done if in fact Mansi really was raped. Do we think she can just go on with the wedding and be happy just because he gets arrested? It affects her whole life forever.
When PR showed the Ajit / Vandita thing that was really terrible, and shocking and showed that evil got it's way. But Vandu was a side character and not followed, but Mansi is like a parallel lead. My point is that the rape is now the highlight of the show.
For me, this is unacceptable. Of course shows can be made about terrible social problems, but PR has a following of a lot of young girls looking for romantic stories (and a few of us oldies as well)..
I just think the whole thing is very very wrong.
