Anybody who says that there should be more to Anandi's life than just being wife and mother are heavily criticised and abused for expressing such views.
Perhaps one should try and reason with those people before taking on the show for so called regressive content after all that content is only fiction.
Those views come out of inherent regressive mentality and not because of the show
People who believe that a woman should confine herself to doing sewa of her husband's family and live to satisfy husband's needs and a husband who is supportive of his wife's decisions is jhoru ka ghulam
These happen to be the views of the women in real world how does Anandi becoming an MLA change the views of these women???????
These are not my views infact I wanted Anandi to stay single for sometime and make a life for herself expand her activities beyond Jaitser much like everyone who watched I too liked the fact that someone like Shivraj Shekhar entered her life but I have always said that I wanted her to make an identity for herself even in Udaiput
As for the show I don't think they have shown their men or women characters as regressive.
The show is a family drama whether people like it or not Saas bahu beti damad beta will be there
They have never shown so called kitchen politics were women were shown to be doing one upmanship to get control over the family.
They have shown family drama which comes naturally when people or rather family members with different mentalities live under the same roof.
They have not really shown her as someone just carrying trays but they did tell thru the story that her social work was getting her recognition which we would have liked to see her doing more of.
I guess people who want to see more of her social service are less in number than the people who wanted to see her being wife and bahu they obviously had to reach a compromise between the viewers demands and what they wanted to show.
They are telling the story of a social worker with a past and how she balances her relationships from past with that of present commitments by choosing the middle path of telling the story they wanted to and showing what the major section of viewers wanted to see.
If the people really wanted to see Anandi making a difference in the society the episodes where adult litearacy programme was run by her, episodes when Bhaili was opened and she was getting those bars closed down or her Ithwari bazar scenes or the recent Suhasini's story would not have had such low TRPs
People want to see women carrying trays and that's what they think women are for and unfortunately they are in much larger numbers
Anybody who makes the show has to reach to them and even if they want to tell a story which is very different from what the viewers are used to they have to use the same format family drama I think they should be given credit for that for trying to tell a different story inpsite of all these constrainst they did manage to convey that their lead is a socially conscious woman.Even though the most important events which are socially relevant happened in her family and she made impact through them.

Since the issue of women who got elected was brought up I have questions
Among the women who got elected how many of them have family connections ? How many of them are movie stars?
If you deduct these two categories how many of them got elected on their own merit?????
What difference is there between a man who gets elected because of family connection and a woman who gets elected because of family connections ????
What guarantee is there that these women will work for the betterment of other women in the society???
What guarantee is there that right people come in with 30% reservation????
It's all very well to talk about inequality between genders but it is more important to work to bring change at the lowest level.
