I'm fully aware that Hindi TV serials are women-oriented. Like or dislike, I've accepted this as non-changeable Fact. My point is - why is it necessary, that to boost women characters, the male character should be sacrificed? What sort of glory it provides to female characters? Why a male character cant have a clear, distinct n powerful personality ALONGWITH female characters?
Ek ko adha mitti mein dabaakar hi kyon dusara upar, hawaa mein nazar aaye? Dono kyon ek hi zameen par, side by side khade nahi ho sakte?
eg. In yesterday's epi. When Inspector insinuated something about romance, Shaurya realizes, police may blacken Diya's character bcoz of his presence beside her. So he called his mother fr Diya's cuddling n moral support, and 3 went straight to Commissioner of police, Mumbai. Generally higher officers are well mannered n seeing an editor, NGO woman n a crime reporter as victim, listens to them, calls that inspector. Badhiya jhaad padti hai usse. What then?
Would it have degraded any of the character? Urmi n Shaurya both can have equal knowledge of Law. (actually Diya shud also, being crime reporter, knowledge of law related to her work ws must, bt suppose she ws too distressed n agonized to think clearly). So Shaurya n Urmi both could argue n stand firm for Diya.
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
Isn't it in accordance with Urmi & Shaurya's chatacterization?
Let me make it clear. Shaurya's characterization is still not clearly defined. All that makers have cleared abt him, is his profession - that he is an editor & owner of a newspaper Awaaz. That this newspaper is nt some gossip magazine/paper, but a daily newspaper, which means it daily publishes all types of news, from political to local, to world, news, to articles, TV-Cinema, crime, sports everything. That, being the editor all types of news goes through Shaurya's eyes and published with his sanctioning.
This means he has good knowledge of whats going on in and around in society, law n world genarally. Also he reads newspaper daily morning with his coffee. So Shaurya is well aware of normal state of affairs in this world.
This is what goes automatically with a character as Editor-in-chief. Makers n writers have to take it fr granted that this is an inseparable part of the character, they created.
Question is - yesterday when Shaurya was shown ignorant of an essential law abt which he MUST HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, suits this character?
I want to make it very clear that, I'm NOT asking makers to keep Kunal more and more in camera frame, particularly to demean other characters. That wud be as bad as presenting shaurya as ignorant, bcoz that may badly affect the tempo of the story.
I know it very well, that once the characters n theme etc are established in a story, the story runs at its pace, characters coming as per situation, theme and characterization. All the characters get space as and when needed, so demanding one character kills the spirit of story. So no point in asking fr it.
My point is, I repeat, plz give full justice to the character you've created. Ek ko chadhaane ke liye dusare ko mat girao! Have some semblance. It was makers' choice to give us an editor in chief as hero. No problem. So let him be Really An Editor in Chief keeping in mind all the charateristics that go along with this type of character, thats all I want.
Honestly, apart from his profession, all that we know abt Shaurya is - he is the son of evil, egoist Samrat, brought up by a strong, righteous woman Urmi n greatly impressed n influenced by good man Ishan. Him being that dumb does nt fit in this too.
Other than that Shaurya is a mystery. So in future makers can mold him in any form, hero like Ishan/Urmi or villanous like Samrat OR an anti-hero. This is makers choice n I've nothing to say what they should make him. They know better. Its entirely makers' choice and decision and the need ofG story/chnl. Its none of myY business. I respect and welcome their decision and will wait patiently till they unfold it as n when they like. Bcoz of Kunal I'm bound to watch the show anyway. In spite of my liking fr Kunal, I wont ask fr more of his scenes. Ye bakar ki zid hogi. Not by me.
