I have seen this, generally all EK/Gul heroines have so much spunk before they fall in love. But once they do that especially after marriage, they are turned into some utopian characters who forget all their self-respect, whose needs and desires come second to the ML, and let's not even talk about their professions.
For a change, I would love to see an FL with an anger problem, who throws around abusive behavior, breaks glasses to threaten the ML, and then have the ML forgive them in the name of love. I think they showed Maya (in Beyhadh) this way but she was a blackish grey character. So, does that mean all this time the ITV MLs were blackish grey and we just had our blinders on?
I think we have been compromising a lot considering ITV & its quibbles 😆
I already have lowered expectations & know that more or less FL will be mahaan/doormat & ML will be abusive.
But, atleast don't try to subvert even lowered expectations 😆
