Why ITV doesn’t show this?

Why does itv only show regressive mother in law- daughter in law relationships. Why not this?

let’s discuss

Haven't there been shows that have similar tracks? Maybe not the exact one. But it would be nice to have a show centered around this particular concept.

My itv knowledge is very limited. Do share a name if you remember any show.

Even I feel like similar shows but can’t remember names

if they make a show like this, it has to be a limited episode series,,,,I dont know how people on tv can accept that,,it could go on streaming for sure...

I did watch a few episode of Mehendi hai Arachne wali...where mother in law was supporting a windowed daughter in law...not the exact thing because they had to bring drama and villains in there but it didn't last long..

people are so used to watch saas bahu sazish and I think because of a lot of people after working hard all day long thats the only entertainment they want to have or prefer

ITV will definitely spoil the concept. More than itv a webseries on this concept would be great.

There have been few shows with these tracks but have ultimately bowed down to trp's except for one, AFAIK.

Mehendi Hai Rachne Wali - MiL supported widowed DiL, even supported her in her 2nd marriage.

Diya Aur Bhatti - MiL refused at first but then slowly accepted DiL studying to become an IPS officer. Family do not believe in bahu's studying/working. It was interesting as MiL became a staunch supporter and proud.

Dahleez (?) - DiL and MiL battled it out in court.

I am sure there had been others but can't recall them now. The reason we don't see much of these on indian tv is simply because the major demographic that watches serial shows are traditional stay at home housewives who want masala and larger than life drama they can ostensibly relate to and pass the time. These viewers are the core group, rest are transients which is why you have couples like Abhira for the transients group but have Goenka's and Birla's for the core group. Indian TV gurus dare not lose their bread and butter group so every story always come back to tropes appealing to that group.

When I say transient group - I mean the group who are studying, working and so may not be home constantly to watch and therefore contribute to consistent trps.

Of course with OTT and other platforms more bolder stories are being explored especially aimed at those who had their fill of masala driven regurgitated stories.

In essence the stories seen on indian TV shows is driven, and run, by the needs and demands of it's core audience.

I don't really watch ITV so don't have any opinion on this..

I know about one show which was based on similar topics and even following it right now.

That show was realted to social messages and covered many of it like molestation , ragging , girl child education , male chauvinism and forced marriage.

You must try that one
