In the Mahabharata Krishna calls Draupadi ‘sakhi’ which means trusted friend, confidante & platonic companion. It is a beautiful friendship which did not require to seek social sanction such as ‘like a brother’ or ‘like a sister’, so evolved even by current times. When her husbands failed her she turned to Krishna. In fact at various points she relies on Krishna’s counsel despite having 5 husbands.
In fact Ram’s and Brinda’s relationship is something like that. One can imagine that even after consolidating his marriage with Priya he would have continued to seek Bri’s help for various things & she wld also continue to help & advise him.
On the other hand, imagine an ITV female lead seeking help from a male friend to rescue her & her husband - all hell will break loose in her sasural!
