Did they just show a gay relation - Page 3

Agree I Feel Bad About The Girl

I hope they will go a bit deep instead of just showing them lusting

I haven't watched the episode yet but I'm VERY impressed with how this show is turning up! I believe ETR2 is the first show on Indian television that has an actual homosexual track without it being for comic relief. It was a shock at first because you don't expect such social topics on a daily soap (the movie Dostana is the only instance that I can think of where they decided to do a full-fledged homosexual story line) but I couldn't have been more proud either. Kudos to the team. Really appreciate their efforts.

Was homosexuality really something that existed in the 1940s? Honestly, that's the first thought that came to my mind and then I realized that homosexuality has been a practice (for the lack of a better word) since forever...it was just really discreet back then. Right now, it's slightly more accepted (especially since the US Supreme Court declared it legal in all the 50 states - a legislation that made me a very proud American) but even then it's still a taboo, a stigma in developing countries like India.

Really Hats off to CVs for taking this bold issue which is still not accepted that well in Indian Society.

I think the last show that tried a gay track was Maryaada Lekin Kab Tak on Star Plus which was axed but ETR2 is taking a risk with TRP people and hope it pays off

well said, homosexuality has been in the world for centuries, hidden behind closed doors, The US has accepted but India hasnt !!

I didn't like it, I do understand that homosexuality exists and its very topical too because of the wives particularly in the news that take their own lives or are killed or divorce their husbands for these reasons but to be honest the subject doesn't interest me, and I think maybe if they put a comedy twist to it is a way it will be accepted by TRP audiences, as others shows show it in this way they must be a reason they do so...to make it funny because so far the show has spice with the Bhabhi's and Rana's uncle, sweetness with the love story of Gayatri and Rana but comedy is lacking, so perhaps this homosexuality issue could be both comedy but I can see the wife is miserable with him, which isn't funny I wonder why she doesn't tell her family that this is the way he is.
