Hindi shows never showed fl talking back to in laws too. Sai character broke stereotype of fl characters. They showed her dragging her in laws family to the road during ousting. They showed her threatening her husband to file complaint against him if he manhandles her again ( it is not even in kd), they showed her calling out the elders misbehavior towards her mother in law. All these are not typical hindi tv things. Still they showed and it worked. Emon is soo extreme character. She is mad for rono. While sai feelings for virat is controlled. Emon legit falls on rono feet to stop him from leaving her. That much desperation she is for rono, she was ready to take her life when rono questioned her character while sai decided to run away from virat. Emon emotions for rono is soooo extreme. Being aggressive doesn't mean you are strong or crying doesn't mean you are docile. It depends on individual character traits. Some can control their emotions,some can't. Ghum tonned town only toxity of kd in terms of lead characters. Essence of lead characters is better than ghum. And emon is a person who won't think twice before pushing elders (who loves her) aggressively. So her behaving like that with rono when he cheats on her is not surprising. And emon and sai situations are different. One had 3-4 years married life,other is still in the state of realisation.
Thinking back on this, I would not expect a wife to behave any other way when she knows her man touches another woman! Remember the scene in Gully boy when Murad's mother bursts on her husband when he comes home with second wife. There the guy is MCP, and scumbag but still the way she jumps on him, ready to thrash hiim, that emotion is called 'real'. That emotion is beyond the discussion on 'physical abuse' and how much one should control their anger and actions. that reaction is independent of educated/uneducated or class/crude. That comes from within, even more if a loving husband breaks your trust. But will hindi TV portray it with Sai. NO. They will show Sai docile, crying to herself or uttering long/heavy dialogues and behaving dignified/controlled.
I dont know about story telling much, what I believe is story telling should be real. It should show the emotions in their raw form, then only if there is any message coming out of it will strike hard. The more the reality, the more the audience would connect to the character, and learn/unlearn from it. If every thing is sugar coated, and every one behaves mahaan where is the story and where is the message!
I dont want Sai or Virat to be fit the bill category. They should be real like they were in the beginning. Now they are toned down sooo much, so showing Sai's outburst if at all like you mentioned, will be impossible even though Sai would go through that emotion. Why to go that far, now also if they show Sai close to Emon how she will venture out in the night alone into the jungle to find her husband's whereabouts and how panicky she gets where she repeatedly says 'my virat sir' thinking about him will be a bonus. I hope they dont take away that impulsiveness from Sai.
Sorry for the rant, sometimes I get carried away.
