In Ekta Mata's world, the repetitive theme is that the protagonist's always have a love triangle with their sister/cousin etc and martyrdom, no matter how damaging and ludicrous, is to be revered. We may have entered the 21st century, but Ekta Mata and her CV's are still stuck in the medieval times. Their moto is that 'Misery needs company'.
To top it all, they are getting paid for churning out this utter nonsense. If they think their target audience is comprised of complete idiots, with shows that are so beyond the purview of any kind of reality, then i guess they can be called creative people.I can't get over how dangerous it is to portray such unhealthy relationships and way of thinking, its enough to make my jaws clinch, and no, not from any excitement from her shows, but rather, from the irritation generated from watching such foolishness. What a waste of the actor's talent, no matter so many have left her shows and moved on to anything that doesn't vile 'genuine pure relationships.
I feel Ankita is a one trick pony, she can only act as a weeping willow, so called do-gooder, that does more harm than actual good for anyone. In fact, anyone having any kind of anything with her is doomed from the start along with her.
The only person i actually think has made any kind of personal growth, is Mansi, having faced brutality at the hands of Ronak and an absent drunken father, i am cheering for her strength in having the courage to call out out her sister and husband in yesterday's episode. If only, she had not allowed Ankita to mow her correct attitude down and apologize for something that didn't need an apology. In fact, Ankita should make her life's work, apologizing to everyone and get off her high horse.. I absolutely despise what Ankita has done to date, and if she thinks she should be rewarded by being worshiped by her siblings because she helped raise them, than get over it. No one asked you to play the maha role and even if she did help her family out, that does not give her the god given right to trample over their rights to question her stupid actions. She made decisions based on her perverse and extremely unhealthy mind set, giving it the name of sacrifice for her family. She has been unfair to all those around her. Yesterday's episode just proved how twisted her way of thinking is. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. She is responsible for hiding things from a sister that could have been her support structure, after all, Mansi has faced many obstacles and grown from them. Ankita does not need to treat her siblings like weaklings so that she can appear superior. If Shushank married Mansi, than no one should think that Mansi is obligated to him or Ankita or anyone else. If Ankita thinks its her right to hide her pregnancy, and has the courage to raise her kid, well, than don't accept any help from Shushank. If anything, she should have confided in her sister who confided in her about everything from loving Shushank to getting raped. That is what families do when they need a loving support structure. Plus Ankita was completely wrong to mention that she had ever loved Shushank (she actually didn't truly love him the way Mansi ever did), to Naren and Pari, thus creating even more turmoil and confusion in everyone's lives.
Mansi did nothing wrong in suspecting Ankita, because she was kept in the dark about everything, even though she tried her best to be there for her sister. Mansi, had the logical mind to even approach Naren to let him know that it was his child that Ankita was carrying. She was the only one who acted in the best interest for her sister. Moreover, Ankita blurting out that Mansi is carrying Ronak's baby was totally wrong. She implied that Mansi should be forever grateful to those around her because for some reason, getting raped and pregnant is her fault. In order to hide her own wrong-doings by taking Shushank's help, lying to her sister, using her sister's husband's name at the maternity clinic was WRONG, she attacked her sister in a cruel way. If you claim to have guts to raise your child without anyone's assistance, than why use your sister's husband's name. Yes Shushank may have volunteered his name, but she should have known better than to accept it.
As for Ankita thinking she can now add Pari and Naren's names to her ever growing list of people that need to be obligated to her, well she has caused so much injustice by her actions, while seriously believing she is the wronged party! I hope her child never forgives her for taking away a father figure, yes, because if Naren knew it was his, he would have played an active role in that child's life. But our do-gooder took that right away from him. Pari would have eventually accepted Naren's child too, and by alienating her siblings by hiding things, this child now has been cut off from uncles, aunts, etc. How selfish can you get, and all in the name of sacrifice. Lord have mercy on all of us if the message is that we should forever be at the feet of such sick people.
No one has benefited from Ankita's actions and quite honestly, she is the one mentally challenged, maybe beyond therapy. I hate this protagonist so much.
God above, we need some fresh contemporary heroines, ones that kick ass, ones that inspire and make us root for them. Ones that don't need hero-worship from anyone because they are attracted to growing as a person in so many ways. We need sassy heroines that are so witty that they make us crack up, we would be fist pumping with them!
We would absolutely love them for what they represent to all those around them. They would not only be strong in all manners of speaking, but would help others grow a spine!
Well, that's my more than 2 cents worth!
