I can watch crime shows, hospital drama with all the gore etc no problem (having studied biology, physiology etc probably helps) but atrocities against women even in the slightest I can’t bear to watch. It’s not because I’ve been subjected to it myself but because I know of both women and men who have been subjected to it. It is then normalised on all these Indian serials and acceptable by saying that ‘she deserved it’. No one deserves it, neither woman nor man!
As for the truck scene and also the stock burning scene, especially in the way how he spoke to her, I was horrified by his behaviour and I actually remember saying to my mum that I don’t want to watch it anymore as it was not the kind of ‘entertainment’ I like’ but I was always intrigued by Pallavi so gave it a chance which now I’m glad.
Another thing I find is why does everyone enjoy slapping people in Indian serials and films? We had a phase in this serial where it was happening left right and centre! And then on the forum (I have non seen it on this AT mind you) and SM people saying characters deserve ‘a tight slap’ etc. Why?!? This to me seems a very Indian thing. Yes people get slapped in British soaps/films but not to the same extent. Why is this normalised and acceptable in Indian serials/films? And why do people actually want to see it that they constantly say so in their comments?? It’s beyond me!
Apologies I’ve gone on and on but the last two points I’ve not had chance to say before so feel better now that I have😊
