Among the many good things in show,
One which stands out very beautifully is the depiction of women

While it is the story of Rudra

His persona, his actions and his thoughts have been shaped by the feminine influencers in his life

And each woman is a force and a personality in her own

Not for Babbal the weepy bahu who preaches subservience

In the name of 'sanskar'


The most remarkable of course was Maimui

Strong, independent and spunky, a woman who lived life on her own terms

A lady who could be a mischievous child one moment and a guardian angel the next

Her friendship with Udiya baba was delightful

Her wisdom that she imparted to rudra was far more than what a formal schooling would have


Another equally strong force is Dadi

Like or hate her, you have to acknowledge that she is an Iron Lady

She does not mince her words and says what she means and means what she says

Rather than cave under the devastation wrecked by dalvesh and family, she went into yoganidra waiting for the time when she will be able to rebuild her live

No tears, no helpless pleas, this dadi is no pushover



Ab aayi Bari Apni Kat-a-hari ki, a wonderful name coined by happychappy!

A woman who played the scatterbrained gullible foreigner in India to the T

Is a mean fighter, and is intelligent bold and not afraid to speak her mind


About Thapariya mai - while not much is known about her back story

But this lady can terrify balivesh, then we know she's got the guts

But I am sure we will see more fireworks and thappads from her as we move along


About Ganga, we do not know enough to comment

And Maya - well, she's proved that she can hold her own too

And knows how to take tough decisions and stick to them

Both weak and strong at the same time, Maya is actually quite 'real'


I also want to mention Kuba's mom, a woman who was courageous in her own way

And showed as the agonizing reality and traumatic life of many among us

Who are trapped in abusive relationships

Unable to see a way out.




Hats off to team MAHAKUMBH, for not making a show about men go to war and women stay at home
Here women too are rakshaks and can fight as good any!


For showing the life of kuba's mom as an ugly reality without sermonizing or moralizing, or making any excuses, wrong was wrong

The fact that 'garudaship' is taken to be very gender independent is another reason to appreciate the CVs for!

The attitude of the makers also came out in the mother of shravan kumar - a woman who took a stand - sons are sons and must be forgiven no matter what and a woman's lot is to suffer - is not what this team seems to abide by- hats off of them

For showing women as strong independent people who make their own decisions...


Happy womens day !!!

Very nice Arshi 👏. A very thoughtful and beautifully written Women's day post.

Gender independent Garudship is an excellent observation.

What a sparkling post for Women's day, Arshi :))

Here's a bouquet for Team MK for giving us all these strong women, and may their tribe increase! Hope some other TV content creators are taking note!

Not just gender independent, but also gender equal in some sense.

The duel between shiva and Kat - no ' I won't fight a woman drama' - it was a fight between two masters!

I hope so too, happy. I want this show to be a success, not just because it deserves to be so, but also because it will then open doors to people who think beyond the stereotypical role of women

A beautiful analysis, Arshi. It is also 101% correct. I suspect that both Utkarsh and Arvind Babbal have both strong mothers and strong wives (Utkarsh got married very recently, but his Pooja does not look like any pushover!😉)

A very happy Women's Day to you too, and to all your readers. May the Force be always with us!
