I agree with both the views...as much as this sex education was an advanced step with regards to itv history, showing Sona being naive about it was a dumb thing. I liked it how she said that we know everything in today's era through friends or internet, yet maa's advice is needed...good attempt to overcome the restrictions of itv yet not being unreal that Sona doesn't know a thing about it. Even if Sona had had an intimate relationship with Karan, I don't think she would explicitly tell that to Suman as if I have done that, I know it, maybe the relationship of Indian parents n their children is not that advanced yet in most of the cases...so I m ok that she didn't tell this to suman.
However, I do have an issue with this that they r showing Sona like Parvati in this case again. No girl in today's era would be restricting those advances of her bf when she loves and trusts him so much that she was going to get engaged to him. This is really unreal. Background, education, status nothing matters when it comes to sexual desires. Biological clock does start ticking at a specific age. Whether u r married or not, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, working or not... doesn't matter...if u have a partner u r in love with, u go ahead with it to a little extent at least. Heck, even in rural areas too these things happen. It is just that their ways might be different or they might not be explicit about it. Sona is a TV actress living in a city like Mumbai for god's sake.
Chalo theek hai, Karan k time pe she was younger, didn't want to do it or they had to keep her virgin specially for Rohit. What's stopping them now? What was that shaadi se pehle kuch nahi? If not ultimate SR, they can at least have some sensual intimacy, it's completely normal. With this "different and realistic" show and the challenges Sikcand has been taking, I expected much better in this regard. For that matter, I expected them to do it before marriage which is very common these days, but it's ok, I understand they have to cater to all types of audience, or it is a milestone event in a shows lifespan so fine...but give some hot romance please!! Show both of them having sexual desires and none of them shying away from it and them indulging in some pleasure. That will be real advanced step in ITV. The resistance power of itv females is on unimaginably ultimate level🙏
