I hate to put this thought out here ..why because this show was not bad ...it started out as a satire towards the very things which are wrong in ITV and this forum is a beloved place and maybe writing negatives about this is bad and kinda disloyal
But I do believe that the shows we watch and especially the shows on star plus (I wonder what the channel heads have against progressive thinking and women in general)
Show what a mind set we have
The society in India and basically the middle class is what these shows are targeted to why because the middle class and others watch these shows , we watch these shows , we watch these shows and then the show and channel earns the money so what does our choice of the show tells us about our own selves
I have to put this thought out there, this separation and this whole set up has happened why - to delay consummation why - because star plus creatives think that leads having consummation or sex just after marriage is bad for TRPs. ( Don't judge me please )
This whole thing has been set up to justify the fact that the leads didn't have sex and then when they will reconcile ( long episodes after ...and lot of tears and stuff later ). There will be a big night for consummation. And I suppose that night will be harped about and will be supposed to bring in huge TRPs
With this thought out in open ...again I don't think anyone will agree with me but let's say having seen many many shows of ITV this whole scenario is making sense to me by only this way ..that separation had to happen to delay the SR
I don't get why the creatives think like that or even why the audience only tunes in to see the SR🤣
Divorce proceedings anyway have been made a joke of .. no court in India at least grants divorce immediately because in India we as a society believes in institution of marriage and however short a marriage is ,still the couples are called multiple times in front of the judge ,are supposed to go for mandatory councelling and are granted divorce after many many dates
And you are supposed to sign papers in front of your lawyers and a magistrate but anyways let's just say that anything connected to reality right now on this show will be purely coincidental but I don't actually mind that because who in the right sense in the audience would like to see a family court drama
Indian women are supposed to be doormats ... We don't have a voice or a say , we are supposed to fall in line by the society expectations , however successful a girl is ,she ought not to be alone why ..because it's a man's world out there and we are supposed to be scared out there alone , we are not supposed to say out loud our opinions who know whose fragile ego we may shatter
A girl who is successful and having a career is a dangerous sign ..she ought to be sitting at home and begetting children and God forbid if she has needs of her own ..that will be blasphemy indeed , she must be pure in heart and a virgin all round why because she must be a pure for her husband so that successful SR happens - these are the standards of a leading channel of our country - star plus ( I might be exaggerating )
A girl is strong for being herself , to be able to say her opinion , put forth her thoughts on any subject and be respected for that
There has been a quote going around in social media that for us to build a better society an equal society we need not only to bring up girls as strong but also that boys should be taught that the opinions of girls matter that boys should be taught that consent matters and be told that respecting women just doesn't mean respecting their moms only ..respect for women at every turn of life , whether she is just a maid , a colleague or a lady in the street
Our television as a media doesn't promote a sensitive smart and a good human being as a male lead why because they will be less manly , we won't like the male lead who will be able to support his wife or girl friend in the society who will help his partner in life to succeed as she wants to . At least not on this channel ( I know they showed such a lead on Sony and that show was extremely popular)
They have made a mockery of marriage ,of family values ,- every rich and famous family in this country must have buas and chacha's killing each other right
Oh I must be talking about a different country because I think I saw Mukesh Ambani the richest man in India actually helping his brother from being bankrupt by providing funds but no in India two brother or a sister and a brother will only stay together because they are interested in money only money
Again I don't blame the show per say because by standards of the channel this show is on that's happening in every show so why should they be different
Because being different is wrong , you are pointed out for having a different opinion .
And no wonder Joint families are dying out in our country ..because every joint family in Starplus has intrigue and murder and jealousy and lots and lots of drama (sarcasm- I know that star plus is not solely responsible for having killed joint families in India 😆)
I seem to have gone on in a different tangent sorry ..the only point I am trying to make is that star plus has ruined a show which was and could have been like a way for them to make their way into a more progressive India but I don't think the creative heads of star plus have the courage or the back bone to make their way into a new and progressive India
What is amusing me is that Sandiip’s own show YHM did now have any separation before he consummation. In that show ML and FL married for a child and not out of love. So it made sense why they did not consummate their marriage. But they did fall in love within 7-8 months and Sickand ji simply kept delaying their consummation by bringing a haddi in every romantic scene. Heck it took 8 months for them even to profess their love! 😆
I find it funny like how ITV couples can’t find one night to have sex. Like they are together day in and day out. Everyone have problems here n their lives. It is is not like they are not living. Even during happy times, somehow ITV couples don’t find one night’s privacy!
In this show they even ridiculed this practice of delaying the consummation and they end up following the same route! Like what even! For a couple who were so madly in love when they got married(unlike YHM), Ronakshi should have consummated within a week!
It has not even been 3 months since their marriage and they are already heading towards a divorce! 😡
I always hated Sickand for ruining YHM with surrogacy track and the dreaded 7 year leap. But at least there the leads separated only after 2 years. Yahaan toh teen mahine mein hi separation ho gaya!
