"Beta..don't you think that these serials r potraying such wrong image of India?.... I was born in india and still visit it..I have relatives living there....girls from pakistan get married in indian families...but i have never heard any true story about extra-marital affairs and najayaz(illegitimate) children, such cruel mother-in-laws and sis-in-laws.....peole in pakistan who know india only thru serials feel that india is as bad in culture as US"......
I didn't know what to say to this aunty...i never thought my country getting defamed coz of k-serials....
But the fact remains...since we r watching it..it is on-air 😕
You know it took me a while to understand the quote of the pakistani woman but I think there is a lot to learn about India from other resources than these serials. Most pakistanis know wot India is all about so dun matter wot one woman had to say. These srials are mere genre of entertainment and people can not and should not take them seroius to the extent to judge a whole country and its culture for god's sake.
Not that I am trying to create a controversy here, I just simpley think India has a lot to offer about her culture than people may perceive.
About the topic generator, I dont know what your intention is behind posting of this topic. First of all if oyu are going to file a law suit it will really be interesting to see you win. Secondly, if you do not intend to persue the suit then I dunno what can be dune about this. I genuinely belive Ekta's serials follow plots from international soaps such as One Life to Live, General Hospital and so forth. You do see one woman having an affair with another man while married, having children from other man which is highly condemned in our culture. I agree we should not have these storylines but hey look at the films. They are not exactly portraying our culture the way it is are they? I have many american friends who ask me about sum of the dance steps in our movie songs that I can only refer to as "dirty dancing".
Howmany people can you file a suit against? Can you win? Does thi smean we surrender? Absolutely not. This means we take care of what we can i.e. make sure our children dont learn any of this by being model parents.
