BEHNJI : Surely NOT. This needs CHANGING

I was watching previous episodes and the number of people that have put Ishita down and called her a Behnji is unbelievable.

Bloody Ashok called her a Behnji and unglamorous when he came to drop Ruhi off after Ishu got her custody. Pervy Param even though he was fida over Ishu, has said to Apshagun, ishita mein aisi baat kahan...

Of course Shagun doesn't ever hesitate calling Ishita Behji

It really really irritates me and also everyone who watches this show going by the posts every now and then regarding this on the forum. I think these guys need to be shut these idiots up. There has to be scenario where they change this STUPID belief that successful career women cannot be glamorous when they have to be!

Wouldn't it be brilliant and this is a valid scenario where Ishita has to do some dental modelling for an ad campaign where she works because the model who was supposed to do cannot make it. I would love it if both Ishu and Ruhi do the ad, They both have the most beautiful smiles really suitabe for a dental ad... (It can be a mother daughter thing). Ishu and Ruhi can be in white clothes dont care if its western or indian!

There can be scenes where Ashok and Param at home and also everyone at the SPA goes gaga over the ad and how beautiful Ishu looks to Shagun. I would so looove these people to eat humble pie. ideally Raman can also be involved in pointing out what Ishu has!!!

What Ishu has is a heady combination of inner beauty, outer beauty and the most wonderful personality and she can captivate anyone!! Even Shaila bua jaisi aurat!!! Hopefully one of these days she will also be capturing Adi's heart!!!

She is a successful career woman AND a successful wife, mother and daughter in law. Does that mean to be these you have to look like a behnji and you cannot showcase your outer beauty? Does it always have to be about Superficial beauty that Shagun has that gets highlighted as success by most men and shallow women? ... Can't we showcase both in this show through Ishu and encourage women to understand that success can be believing in their inner self, strength and beauty whilst putting their best outer beauty forward?

Yes and I do think her everyday wardrobe needs an update as mentioned in other posts

I completely agree with you! I don't see why Ishita is constantly branded as a behenji, when she is clearly so much more than that! And Shagun is actually pretty dumb.. She's calling a woman with ambition, with a career a behenji? I wonder what kinda name people would give to her then.. As someone who wrecked her own home and then had an affair & a live in relationship with her ex-husband's boss.. Oh and now she's trying to be all lovey-dovey with that same ex-husband? Oh-kaay then.. 🤔

But I really like your idea of the modelling scenario!! That would be so adorable to watch, especially if Ruhi and Ishita both did it together!!

..completely agree with your views...Ishu is a complete women...playing all her roles so perfectly be it...her job, her role towards her family both as da and da-in-law...as a sister, and as a mother. she is balancing everything without any issue...n yes her supportive family should also be given credit...that means she is not Behenji from any angle...and if such word is becz of her dressing and simple attitude...then she is worth million bucks with same things than those living in AK house...with all flashy but worthless attitudes

Thanks for your comments :)

Judging by what's been said on the forum, everyone seems to be in agreement that something needs to be done. Hopefully the amazing creatives break these kind of stereotypes about beauty and success

Would be fabulous to watch :)
