Girl you're on fire. I'm on lunch and it's winter! I won't go out coz I got a workmate to get me coffee! So here I am reading your comment!!
Oooh I love cold. Thanks 😛 when I go on a rant it's hard to stop.



OliCity fan club represent! I could feel the Rabba Ve between them right from the start! Lol Even when he was still hung up on his ex! I love hot guy Nerdy girls combo's. That's why I loved RumYa! Let's not go into how they were screwed! I think once Felicity said something to Ollie that sounded suggestive and fan girl like and Ollie was amused by it and she was embarrassed and tried to cover it up! That was the moment I shipped them. But I always loved the nerdy glasses look and smarts of Fecility and that bad boy turned vigilante hotness of Ollie. I'm not following the show anymore. Just no time! If you still are then have they done it? Lol


OMG Hi5. Yes, that "it's good to feel you inside me " 🤣 dude Laurel Ollie was toxic so I am glad that's done with. Rumya were so cute..ikr, fresh wound *sigh*. They done it and wedding coming soon😛


Yeah the bodice rippers and the Darcy style anti heros! I am Mr Darcy's no 1 fan and he was a gentlemen. He never manhandeled women. He respected them. He was just proud and full of it! But his feelings for Elizabeth transformed him. He was always a good guy. This was never about being a bad guy. The bad guy was always Wickham who had all the charm but non of the character. But Darcy was the package and non of these losers who are so called Darcy modelled characters can even come close to Jane's Darcy! She was a genius! My favourite writer!

Yes you can understand how appalling it is . I am like Darcy,kidhar Kahan?😆🤢 not even .0001% of him yaar. And not even Wickham, atlst he had a sweet mouth. Ooh shyam was a Wickham, don't you think? Exactly, he had the past trauma but that was never his excuse for treating others like shit. He was a proud man and genuinely believed about class and all, kinda like shivay ka nkk. He was good man, respectful, and when he was in love he went to lengths for his lady love. That's why even after so many years it's a relevant book and favorite romance of all!

What I love about our hero Neil is that even in anger he shows control. He doesn't break things! (Pathetic action BTW). Even after the wedding when he was SO mad at her, he still showed restraint. Zain did one of his best jobs there. In fact I heard he said that was his favourite scene to do other than the recent Agni pariksha of females scene! Neil is not a guy who shows undue anger. He's a grown up, not a man child and he doesn't require saving! 3 things I like about him. Of course Zain's baby face makes him all the more lovable! :)

Nice views Ri, I know you are appalled at all this but please can we avoid the swearing, it's a public forum afterall 😊


Oho you are one of the rule book...Chalo koi nahi I will bigaro you soon😛😆.

That bodice ripping the way you explained as in related to rape and non consensual sex is aweful!!! how can a woman forgive a man who made her go through such a traumatic experience and you said evil men so I suppose they do it being in their full senses right, not drugged or something, on purpose?!. It's very demeaning and traumatic to victims!!, staying single is one hundred times better than marrying a man who stripped you off your dignity. Alas in many regions people still compel a woman victim of rape to marry the rapist, it's like killing her on a daily basis!!

That was a typo, I meant the hero of book will do that...na na no drugs or any, maybe revenge, maybe cause he hates her. But this was a classic trope (ew). Yes, it's traumatic, and to add salt to wound now she will get married and slowly starting to have consensual sex and they will live happily ever after🤢 Society is so ignorant of a women's pain, all they care about "izzat"...sometimes makes me mad as to why I was born as girl and not man.

Andd for women who fall in love with such lowlives, I guess they must be suffering from the stockholm syndrome. Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other." (wikipedia)

As you might have understood from the definition, it's definitely not a healthy thing, it's a serious phsychological disorder. Now that I think about it, the majority of soap heroines suffer from that disorder at different degrees!!

It is Stockholm syndrome, no denying. It's like someone torments you and heals the wound and then your psyche starts to think so what he hurt me, he heals me too. In a twisted way...or maybe those women in books were making the best of their situation? After all books were bases on medieval times...what do we know. Soap heroine, hell yes. I feel tv writing in very limited on the scale where you need to show two people interacting regularly to show their growing love. They either do the office romance where it's just Romance, no work, Or somehow does a hate marriage and makes them stay under same roof. I don't know why they don't try more realistic approach- dating, meeting through mutual friends, hell bumping into grocery store😆

I can't deny that I watched many shows having angry abuser young men, anti-heros, but only as a work of fiction, I take them as psychological cases, in no instance I would advice to have them in real life. Don't tell me there are really women who think such men

mennn who keep abusing them physically and emotionally) are their prince charming !! You might watch them see their story but in real life gentlemen like Neil, Kartik (yeh rishta) would win hands down. Real and reel are two different things. A woman should marry a man who would treat her as an equal, be her life partner her support system just the way she will be his, who would respect her for what she is, a human being with emotions and brain not a punching bag!

Innn no case I would condone abuse be it emotional or physical, a woman is capable enough to lead a life of dignity without a man, relying on her ownself. If a woman smells toxicity in her relationship then she should step out from it!

But yes I agree with you, maybe there should be some age restriction to indian shows, the way it is for american shows, afterall teenagers and children can get influenced and TV is a strong medium. Also there should be limits to what is called creative liberty, I heard recently about a show named Pehredaar piya ki, where a 9 years old from a royal family marries an 18 years old girl!
