That is the typical pattern. Zindagi channel launched with the best serial ZGH, and it had people hooked. Everything was different from our current soaps and a craving for what our TV serials were in the 80's and 90's were felt.

But as you watch them regularly, you will find that every single serial is not fantastic. As time goes by, like any other entertainment industry in the world, there will be fewer good ones than the bad ones.

So the the initial euphoria here will also start subsiding.

I do hope you enjoy Humsafar. Its a typical story, but a well made one. Like a very common thing said in the film industry, - there are just 7 kinds of stories, so there are bound to be similarities and "copying" Its the final product - how it is showcased and presented that finally makes the difference.

OK. Got it.
But Mumbai is considered as safe city for girls as compared to other metro cities.
Forget about Nirbhaya thing I said, but Bcoz of it my argument took a back seat.
Is it that much easy and safe in India for girls to be outside at late night and is it not normal for her parents and siblings to think about her safety here in India also?

Its nice of you to understand where I was coming from on my opinion on Nirbhaya.

In Mumbai, it is not uncommon at all. I myself have returned home very late in the night when work has gotten hectic. Sometimes I catch the last train home, and sometimes I have to cab it back because the last train has gone. Just because my family understands my work pressures and patterns does not mean they are not concerned about my safety. They are mutually exclusive, and it doesn't mean that just because I'm "allowed" they don't care.

We have been brought up in my house to be independent financially, and that is exactly what I am doing now. My work demands crazy hours and I have my commitment to it. I love my work. My family and fiance are happy for me that I'm happy with it and doing well.

I have no idea who the author is, and what her background is. But if she is someone who is raised in Mumbai, in a working culture, it might be alien to her that girls are not allowed to go out late at night or whatever. Honestly, I read the article when it was originally posted here, and I haven't bother to read it again after that, so I really don't remember her references. So please don't quote me verbatim on my reference to what she has said or not said.

I'm just taking the gist from the recent conversations here.

But yes, if she has grown up in Mumbai, in this kind of a set up, and continues to be in the similar set up, its possible that she finds the stories regressive.

We all have opinions. She has hers. There's no right and wrong in this.

People have different tastes. While I know many people who have watched ZGH on Zindagi as ther 1st Pak show and have loved it, they haven't given up on our long never ending soaps either.

It doesn't mean that their preferences are rubbish either.

Whatever one says, there is still a huge market for our OTT soaps. Not only in Hindi but in every regional language. Like a colleague told me once, the huge benefit about our soaps are that when she is travelling on business, she really doesn't have to spend time to catch up. 😆

She reads the gist of the episodes she has missed, and carries on with the current telecast!😃

Omg this is really shocking yet funny at the same time lol. Frankly speaking Pakistani serials are FAR better than Indian ones in terms of how realistic they are. All these shows are just showing what happens in the real life. There are still people who are like Zaroon who believes females should be back home early and not late night like shown in ZGH. This doesn't happen only in India or Pakistan but in other places too. Example is my father. I stay in Singapore and my father still expects me to come home early. And if only hugs, kissing is necessary in a show, I'm sorry to say it isn't. In conclusion, I think this writer should really think and reflect on what has been written. Pakistani shows are very simple yet elegant.

I agree.. my cousins are even protective abt us... n my father n bro are like Zaroon too... though we never go out alone n wdput their permission esp wd friends... but still they are way too possesive... n i dont fond anything wrong in it.. ofcourse they say for our betterment... even for my bro my father does the same..n the nowadays atmosphere is not safe too... one cant even believe in relatives... for boys the things are different n for girls they are different... though i believe that girls n boys should be equal but still there are boundaries for a girl... bcuz its the way they are... e.g can be taken by daily life... if a girl is travelling in bus n standing... the sitting boy gives her a seat... that means girls are very delicate.. n shall be treated wd care...😳so i dont find anything wrong at all...
