Be it on big screen or small the image the depiction of any controversial topic or scene always leaves a great impact on the audience. And especially Indian television has always been melo-dramatic in terms of exaggerating an issue of social matter to an extent which makes it a cheap gimmick.
Talking about rape which is treated as a taboo in the society, our Indian soap operas have not even spared going to an extreme level by portraying such a sensitive issue in a dumb manner. Not only had this but to make the show a high voltage drama the makers use this as a weapon to get as many TRP's as they can. They cater to audience such content for sensationalism and to grab a large number of viewers.
Recently, much TRP fetching serials like Balika Vadhu and Ye Hai Mohabbatein revolved around the rape track. Instead of offering a greater opportunity to educate viewers, they use the opportunity to heighten the drama


Much TRP fetching show Ye Hai Mohabbatein played a track of Ashok (Sangram Singh) raping Mihika (Mihika Verma) as he gets furious to after knowing that Mihika tricks him into believing that she was pregnant. As Ashok asks her to get intimate with him in order to have a baby, Mihika's refusal leads to getting her raped.

Found it so posted it.

This is such a valid article. Instead of handling social issues (rape, teen suicide, infertility, etc) delicately like YHM claims to, this show is becoming more & more regressive in an effort to catch TRPs! Such a disappointment

If they wanted to show such social issues, they should put an ounce of thought into the execution...

well hasn't this been the trend in TV industry for year and years... Every Bollywood movie had a rape scene. What were Shakti Kapoor, Amrish puri and other villians famous for?
Even TV serials... I remember some TV shows were for adults only... marital affair , almost soft po*n, ..I cant remember the shows name. then the other show banegi apni baat.
So how is a bad thing come now when the TV serials are taking steps to show what the realistic outcome, like file a FIR, punish, how the law system is weak to let out rapists out on bail, rather than villain being beaten up...

It was shown previously in this show only that victims r tying Rakhi to their molestors (Ishita) or getting married to their molestors(Mihika). This kind of puts pressure on the victims in real life to accept such situations n let go of molestation crimes. 😕

Yes this time they showed making a complaint against Ashok but he is the main villain we will not see him rotting in jail for the crimes he committed, he will be out in 2 days to commit other sexaul assault related crimes. (Just as Permeet was let out).

It kind of gives an impression that its ok to molest or attempt to rape women as u will be out of jail in 2 days on Bail.
