UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT
Hope I don't offend anyone
So what I have always noticed is that in every ITV show, the FL is this sati savitri who conveniently gets drunk 'by mistake' because obv...she is sati savitri, she cannot wilfully have alcohol unless the plot requires her to 'accidentally' have it
When I saw yesterday's promo I thought finally, one show where the woman is taking a drink, it's fine (I agree it would be REALLY unprofessional, but Sona is human too...let her make mistakes and face consequences instead of being annoyingly perfect ALL THE TIME) but no, only dev can wilfully have daru and ruin people's evenings, be a drunk for 7 years of his life because he is the male lead, usko har gunah maaf.
I dont even want to discuss this nonsensical cat fight going on. Before, every character even one as annoying as Mami had some shade, some redeeming quality (I always thought that in the beginning at least she was the only one who understood neha)..now this show is bringing tracks like this, women being pitted against each other for some lousy guy...I say let the psycho and Mr Spineless get together, Sona will save herself from the madhouse BIGTIME.
Ppl say this show is 'realistic' and a breath of fresh air, well this show has introduced one of the most regressive plots I have ever seen a 'progressive' show pull off. It teaches men that
1. it's ok to gaslight your partner, never stand up for her,
2.make empty promises, stalk her when you are broken up..its ok as long as you are the hero,
3. get drunk and ruin her engagement
4. Even when you somehow get married never really stand up for her, give time to her, expect her to adjust all the time and never address your mom's paranoia in a healthy way
5. Find temporary solutions
6. "Accidentally" slap your FIL
7. berate your wife for something as basic as returning a loan
8. Tell her to get out over some stupid misunderstanding
9. Insult her career, call her a gold digger, use her insecurities against her when she calls you out
Even then, hey, you are the hero, so you will end up together without really resolving the main "Ishu" (pun intended) ...but don't worry, we will dedicate the rest of the show to your greatness and make a 2nd season to whitewash your character, so everyone is happy. CONGRATULATIONS!
Did I miss something here? Pls keep adding on to the list, i didn't even add season 3 mishaps on this list...let's find out all the shitty things this guy has done!
Sorry for the looong rant!!
Love you all for being the only ones who are seeing the BS in this plot...everywhere else it is all gun gaan of how great dev is because of one romantic scene
