Alert - just a thought.not exactly related to the episode.
I know most of the people on this forums are educated, independent, strong women.women who have pursued their dreams, women who are working abroad,women who are studying hard in the hopes of building a bright future.so it's natural that we get irked when they show raavi as someone who has no dreams or ambitions of her own.as someone who has dreamt about getting married into a certain family from childhood.
I come from a family where none of the women work.not in my mother's side.not in my father's side.they are all graduates.its only in my generation that the women have started working.even some of my cousins chose to be housewives due to various reasons.is it right? That's a controversial question.
But my intention of putting up this post is saying that a huge proportion of women in India are housewives.perhaps that's why shows which showcase a married womans struggle in her in laws house gets more viewership than a show which focuses on a woman's struggle in her office.
Peple watch shows to which they can relate to.as much as a mother in law taunting a daughter in law for babies is regressive, but it's relatable.
I know women who dream of marriage and babies.who have no significant career ambitions.
I know women who have given up their jobs to stay at home with their children.
Is it right? Now again that's a controversial question.
Tv shows and dramas should show progressive females, but at the end of the day viewership matters as well.some tv shows subtly do that. They show the female lead as a medical student, doctor or an accountant.but the Focus always remains on family scenes.
As much as raavi's character is flawed, but it's beleivable.
If strong, independent, headstrong women exist.
Meek,air headed, support seeking women craving for love and protection exist as well.
Rishita is someone who gave up her family, her career( I believe she is also an mba who must be getting job opportunities as well), everything for a man like Dev.do such women exist? Sadly yes.is it right? Now that's again a controversial question.
PS- just my try on analysing why itv doesn't dwell into women's working place.
Even shows like ipkknd Didn't do well when khusi was arnavs secretary.it did well when she worked to "train" the working, modern woman to be an "ideal" bahu.
Shows like diya aur baati hum potrayed unrealistic scenarios in which a woman cracks the country's toughest exam by studying along with doing all the household chores and handling the family.people are unable to crack the exam by studying all day, forget working all day and studying for two Hours and night and acing the exams.🤷
Our neighbour show has a teenage girl as the lead who miraculously studies well despite facing harassment on a daily basis by her in laws.of course we are not shown the details of her college life.
