We’ve seen a lot of shows with strong female leads who took revenge ...e.g, ek Hasina thi, Naamkaran...but these heroines never hurt any innocent people while on their revenge mission,.they focused in their targets and only caused pain to the villains..And I think generally audiences are more accepting of these heroines and those shows have really done well...because the heroines are loved,..here in EBSS ,.although we appreciate Shrenus acting ..many people don’t love jaanvis character like the way we adored Avni and the heroine in ek hasina thi..And I think generally in this world of so much crime and criminals,..we prefer to see more positivity on tv,.. anway the promo looks good..I’m so glad to see Zain in the montage ..hopefully they’ve got a better story and execution for us...
While I agree with what you are trying to say, yes, its true that TRP audience does not accept grey heroines. Avni and Durga were positive heroines, who were clever. They were never grey or dark.
Anyways, I think its blatant hypocrisy of TRP audience when they accept grey heroes who are playboys in EK shows, or abuse the female lead in Gul shows, but they can't accept a female doing wrong. I mean, in IB the hero actually kidnapped a 7 year old child, and that episode fetched the highest ratings for that episode in the show, that year.
So, while I agree with your contention, the state of TRP audience is deplorable if they accept near criminal male leads, but don't have the same standards for female leads.
Also, Maya was, again, very popular online. The epitome of grey female character. But yes, again, Beyhadh had very less trps, but it was lucky to be aired on Sony which doesn't care about trps.
Poor EBSS has to suffer, because despite trying something lesser tried, it was rejected by TRP audience for having a grey lead, and Star Plus is greedy for trps. smh.
