whats's wrong with ekta? she herself is independent woman but when it comes to the indian women at large she shows or depicts them with very low self esteem, weak and at the mercy of men be it their so called husbands , boyfriends or any male member in the household. and tries to take them back into stone age , so irrational and outdated mind set up this woman(ekta) possess. may be she does'nt have any intentions of creating women more aware and of real substance. she wants more kasturis, gauris,and what not

I agree with you whole-heartedly! She is an independent woman herself...and has a mind that works sharper than men in creating serials..and is independently running 20 serials at a time...and yet she shows her lead girls as if they are just born...they had no sense of the world and how to deal with issues that come their way. She shows them as if their parents did not teach them anything, they never made any friends, from whom they can learn...i mean we learn soo much from school and friends if not from household...but these lead girls act like they were never sent to school to learn anything...to become smart or learn the worldly ways...i mean comon...India is not like this. I agree some people's personalities are just like that...but that is a just one in a few...please dont portray every single lead girl of ur serial as if she is soo naive and just born yesterday!

Many things are shown are quite unreal e.g showing initially Kas family against her job.I think this is not at all true whether the girl belongs to metro city or small town or she comes from higher,middle or lower class.This I can say for sure as when ten years back I was in India (delhi)from where my school and collage teachers came .My mom is still working and most of the females from my neighbor hood worked.Saying this I agree that in those days it was more true for big cities but today i think each parent encourages their daughters to be independent before getting married.

I know one doesn't expect complete reality ,but such small issues can be portrayed with more care otherwise noone would feel the story close to their heart.
