I am really fed up of watching the way Indian soap operas depict Indian women.
I am actually an Italian-Canadian female who loves Indian culture and this is why I watch Indian television.
Howeeever...these soaps make women look so petty, immature and jealous.
So while the men are off to work, the women stay home and hide rotis from each other?
I don't think so. These soaps make a mockery out of the role of the housewife and mother.
I am working now but I remember being home and even without children, I was always so busy with household chores and family obligations. Why can't they show these women doing more at home then playing stupid kitchen pranks and eavesdropping one each other's conversations?
Let's not even get into the issue of how mothers in law are depicted!!! All sasumas (sorry about the spelling) are psychos who are possessive of their son?
It is really becoming tedious to the point where I am about to cut off my Indian television channels. I am not a part of the Indian culture but I very much doubt that the above is what is going on in Indian households. From the point of view of a foreigner, it really does not portray a good image.
Indians stand up and fight for yourself, not a good look...Complain to Zee Tv...this is insanity

Today's episode seriously made me want to get into my TV and hammer the lose screw in Yoyo mata's (Pratibha) head. All my sympathies for her went down the drain. Even a donkey would have more common sense than her. As far as I am concerned I hope the Khujli mata (Sunidhi) and Karela mata (saasuma) torture her more because that's what she deserves. Loved the way Pushpa chachi handled herself.

Completely agree...I don't mind taking some negativity but too much is beyond my patience. As far P is concerned I think she herself is responsible for her sorry state...eighteen years of marriage, can't handle her husband ( a big communication gap with him ) and then children, the less said is better...

Has been cheated by S several times and still trusts her and assigns her the food menu duty...only a stupid can do that.
I will give one more week to this show...if things don't improve then I am off from it...

I so agree with everything you said. I've stopped watching and just reading updates until there's something worthy to watch. My tolerance for too much negativity in a show is limited and I'm seriously irritated with Pratibha.

Agree with the topic maker about the show even in the island where I live there are still women who behave like Pratibha in this day and age the sad thing is they are educated working women yet the behave like foolish Pratibha. I have stopped watching this show only read updates I am so disappointed whit this show don't know if I have the patience to watch anymore.

Have you guys noticed that the majority of serials on Zee TV show this kind of nonsense on degrading women. The current lot being Suhani se ek ladki, Doli armaanon ki, Satrangi sasural, Service wali bahu, Kumkum Bhagya, Pratibha (I am sure I missed some). Even the previous ones like Ram milaye jodi, Agle janam mohe bitiya, one with Sindora, one with Saloni etc etc
