There is a difference between self preservation and self respect..all of us compromise according to our situations,we are not crushing our self respect there..we are only prioritizing over what's more important for us . In love it happens naturally ...silence is also not crushing your self respect.....but as I said , quietly taking insults and humiliations , without taking action , without " reacting ", not feeling bad about it basically looks very wrong...prerna makes it look like she and her family deserves no respect because of their social status..be it any time in any ekta serial, the lower middle class heroine always made sure their heads are held high except for prerna madam..constantly lapping up the insults from your lovers family is another one..

Exactly what I was trying to say and you've put it in the right words. Most of the characters on indian television are flawed and they are not even expected to be perfect but they must be relatable at least to some extent. But there is nothing like this here and my entire issue is how its been defended. Makes me wonder how many of us actually want to live a life like Prerna with no aim, no aspirations, no identity, no direction. In the absence of all this there is no scope of any growth or development.
