I agree with you wholeheartedly.
This show is doing a great disservice to the portrayal of women in the corporate world. The plot is unrealistic and regressive. I don't know what message the makers are trying to convey here. The way they show Maya giving up work and hanging around at home making paranthas, one would think that a woman can never be fulfilled until she becomes a dutiful daughter in-law and wife. And also, why does she need to dress up like a Christmas tree just because she is married? One can wear sarees without being decked up in jewellery and make up 24/7.
We have already seen the modern, independent woman turning into the obedient, selfless and traditional housewife who does little else other than cooking, cleaning, poojas, and looking after her in-laws in many shows now. Beyhadh is showing us nothing new or refreshing.
