Absolutely!
We all want good content and writing but will makers continue to work on it if viewers resign themselves to a character's vices? Why will the CVs make an effort to work on the layers when a tried and tested formula works? Isn't that where makers like Gul have been able to set a toxic pattern just by working on good casting where everything is brushed under the carpet because the "chemistry" is good!
Everyone who has signed up for this show knows that Shaurya is flawed so why get salty if the flaws are acknowledged? Differing opinions is fine but why the intolerance to an opposing opinion? Why are the ones calling out what is wrong as wrong being patronised as "This is just a show" (duh! of course it is which is why people are watching, interpreting and discussing it) or best "He is just human" (and so are Anokhi and Ahir, why should they be subjected to indignity?)
He is human hence the flaw agreed, he is human hence the expectation to acknowledge the mistake and correct it.
This is just entertainment agreed but it is also Art because it involves aesthetic representation, writing and perspectives hence open to interpretation and because the premise of the show promised to address a social message, discourses are bound to happen and should happen because makers themselves have asked for it! They brought in the social aspect and not the viewers and even if we did there is nothing wrong because content comes with responsibility.
Very well said. Consumption of any art form warrants an unbiased analysis and critique of what we're consuming. Since a lot of us are adult women (an assumption since SAAKK's target audience is urban population) it only makes sense for us to not turn a blind eye to Shaurya's flaws as it is us who have deal with such men on a daily basis.
