Christine: DABH is the only show and there also the woman is ffighting family problems each passing day.

Either Mohit is arrested for being associated with stolen bike case or Meenakshi for exchangiing kids. I mean a gang of terrorists found one IPS officer's house as the safest place to plan their actions ? Also, Sandhya and her batchmate are working together in Pushkar. I thought one district has one SP only.😆

I want Sandhya to solve some other cases without the interference of her own family.

Its a misconception that only stay at home women watch these shows... By the time these shows start in the evening most of the people are back from their work and either watch them while preparing or eating dinner ...

Something that makes me grouch is why they make the female lead become the male lead's secretary and then they fall in love. That is a typical cliche that infuriates me! They usually spend the time doing very little work and sometimes I wonder if they are qualified even.

Women need to be reflected as they are in real life. The majority do not sit in mahals with large amounts of jewellery and having a husband who works (although you never really see that work to be honest) and she does not.

When CV's and PH care less about money and TRP's and more about the integrity of their show and plot then we can try to expect something.

Also why was Anandi not allowed to be a sarpanch any more after she married. I know Shiv got posted elsewhere but who took over after her after everything she did to get to that position anyway?

Cid and Maharana Pratap are 2 Indian shows I watch quite regularly, I find the others really regressive.

Which hindi show do u watch? I watch only hindi shows. Very less show heroine as a working women dat also in most of them d hero is shown as d arrogant n heartless boss of d heroine. Only hero is shown as a successful person while d heroine is shown as dumb which is is so degrading to women.

I have always wondered why the female lead ever needs to work for her love interest. really dislike that. all she seems to do is look through files and maybe a presentation but otherwise not exactly work work. (imo)

Arya, work actually plays the role of the cupid . She is not a secretary but a babysitter in a modernized role meant to take care of the oversized baby who had a bad past and therefore is allowed to behave the way he wants.

The women in general don't have a distinctive career.Its always about earning a few rupees only. They just take job wherever they get. I mean they have no choice of joining IT or Fashion house . I fail to get that either.

The arrogant boss will make her work overnight or more than 20 hours which is gross violation of labour laws. The makers don't realise they are actually projecting inhuman stories in the name of love.The girl will be shown completing every task her man gives her. Why ? Not even one story shows that the girl made a formal complaint against her boss.

OMG! please please explain to me this concept of love hate veering to abusive relationships... I have no idea what the appeal is? intense and abuse are not the same in my dictionary
