You really have an effed up definition of a modern ideology and a regressive ideology.
A modern ideology doesn't mean that you work in a office, a modern ideology is that its a woman's choice whether she wants to work in a office or want to become a housewife. Modern ideology is not running after a man and threatening him to marry you when he has in multiple possible ways shown disinterest in marrying you. You don't achieve modernization by working in an office, it has to be in your thinking, if she was modern, she would have kicked Vanraj out of her life after bearing so much direct and indirect insults from him, and please it is not love it is just obsession.
A woman doing household chores is not regressive and they can be equally modern, bcoz modernity comes from your thoughts. Anupamaa is more modern than Kavya bcoz she had guts to kick Vanraj out of her life despite so many obstacles, be it family pressure, be it taking charge of your own life, be it starting a career at the age of 43, be it accepting that her daughter in law doesn't need to sacrifice her dreams for family responsibilities, or be it not caring about how a society sees a divorcee. She has infact shown a way to women to exercise their rights who accept their husbands EMA just bcoz they do not have a source of income or they are afraid of what society will say. So Anupamaa isn't the threat she is a way shown to woman who are in such situations which are many in our country. Also Anupamaa works and still does household chores but willingly.
And don't forget it is the men like Vanraj who try to cut the wings of the women who expects them to only take care of their house.
Doing household chores does not prevent modernization, it is the freedom that is not given to women to choose is what a regressive thinking is.
And coming to comparison of Kavya and Anupamaa. Kavya has time and again humiliated the family, be it threatening to send them to jail or shouting on bapuji when she made sweet dish without even understanding that he was actually offering her made dish to God first. If I would have been part of a family where someone comes and threatens to send my family to jail on false accusations, Main jaake uski aarti nahi utarungi zindagi bhar. The comparisons made are not with respect to the household chores, but in respect to their behaviours. And anyways she is trying to seperate Vanraj from his family, then why does she bother if they accept her or not. That so called modern thinking woman Kavya didn't even stand by Nandini when her truth came that she cannot become a mother. Anupamaa was more modern in thoughts than Kavya in this situation also, she knows just giving birth to a kid is not everything. Society would be better if we do not have so called modern women like Kavya.
Only wrong decision that Anupamaa took was stay back at Shah house and that is going to mess her life more.
