I read wikipedia and found not much different- poor small town girl, rich MLs, brothers paired against her, FL PA of one of MLs, 1 of the MLs as womaniser, 1 ML using poor FL to get his younger bro on track. This too looks M&B plot but she surely toned it down due to channel limits. I am sure of it was on other channel she would show what she does in other shows. Even if the show was actually different its long back but after that she only showed nonsense just like Ekta made Hum Paanch before moving to nonsense shows.
At least Ekta shows FLs in good profession though she insults those profession and hardly show them working but in Gul's shows FLs are only maids, employees, PAs, cooks and so on. Ab ye mat bolna I am am praising Ekta's shows as I said later she hardly shows them working even after in that profession.
Pragya never worked as teacher after getting married and Preeta does not looks like NRI doctor who lived 25+ years in US due to her idiotic nature of being in toxic marriage. Preesha is gynac but she is very dumb whom anyone can fool. Ishita was a dentist but more than clinic she was busy in the politics of her house with crazy people. Now in Prem Bandhan, the FL who was working woman is now stuck in her sasural with kiddish husband and no longer has the job.
@green Same happened with EK since her Tere Liye in SP and since then there was a cold war of EK and SP, which ended after 3 years I guess.
Gul doesn't have such history and this whole thing of arrogant ML and a very dumb FL was POPULARIZED by EK only in:
Kitani Mohabbat (2009) which was aired again in Imagine TV and you are saying Imagine never let Gul have her way, Seriously?
So did they have special quota for EK or what? Lol (Which is possible because Gul was new to the industry and EK a well reputed one that time)
@Violet That was the plot after the union of the ML (Aham Sharma) & FL (Yami Gautam).
There was another FL who was later paired with Amar (Molki actor) which is the story you are talking about and again there was not an arrogant ML, but a typical RICH BUISNESSMAN WHO WAS TRYING TO STOP THE WOMANIZING WAYS OF HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, by hiring a GIRL whom his brother can't flirt with
@yellow See, I won't say you are praising EK, but then you are COMPLETING IGNORING the BASIC FACTS,
Basically, the very FLs or EK are even more TOXIC than THE ARROGANT, ATTITUDE DRIVEN MLs of Gul.
Maybe again this a PERSONAL OPINION,
You already said that male characters should be given EQUAL IMPORTANCE,
For sure EKs FLs who are SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING WOMEN BUT LOL, MOSTLY NEVER WORK
But, that definitely, is a credit compared to the MOSTLY OR ALWAYS MAIDS to MLs, FLs of GUL
However, EKs FLs are such that they can be literally be kept in TEMPLES instead of the IDOLS there
No, seriously, she creates her SHOWS in such a way that EVEN IF AUDIENCE FINDS OUT THE FLAWS OF HER FL,
Then EK or her dummy writers WILL PUT SOME STUPID TWIST & MAKE IT SEEM THAT IT IS ALL THE FAULT OF ML!
Which, I personally feel is EVEN MORE TOXIC THAN GUL'S ARROGANT ATTITUDE DRIVEN MLs who torcher or humiliate the FLs
Because, Gul never does that, though she does show her MLs to be dumb and brainless like other PHs like RS and Shahi
Maybe, it's just a CHANGE OF OUR PERSPECTIVES yaar, can we stop here?
