oh okay.. chalo accha hai jab jaago tab savera. hopefully they will remmbr tht their show running only cos of asr

I guess imlie gyaan s not much effective at times bc no stability n wt she s preaching and doing at next... Though makers too making Aryan simply watch some saas politics he never bugde for any injustice against imlie.. Also handling in mature way.. Pulling the right string on imlie to push her up.. So His crt reached so far than her

let’s run with the current story for a minute. a woman (we’ll factor out her IQ & strength levels for all intents and purposes) is being subjected to a very public dehumanisation, humiliation, and stigmatisation, by another woman under the manipulation and instigation of some women, whilst being surrounded by a bunch of other women, some of whom actively participate in the further degradation of the said woman, while others play mere bystanders silently bearing witness to that woman’s ordeal. then, a man swoops in from seemingly nowhere, “rescues” said woman from all these women, and ultimately “saves the day”. do you guys see the trouble with this narrative?

i’m going to ask this question yet again: whose story are we watching?

i’ll ask one more: what is the purpose of the story we are watching?

great Q -- my guess is that CVs know that majority of the viewers are also women which means in that most daily soaps, the men are just props while it is the women who run the story. 😆 so all the trouble is always done by women but the men job is to swoop in and do the rescuing thus continuing the fairytale idea. sometimes I think it is because women viewers want that fairytale themselves because they don't see it in their own lives? or is it because they are afraid to fight for themselves and their secret wish is that their husband will wake one day and be a prince? who knows!!!

i see all of your points. but hear me out.

i’ll preface this with a dialogue from another beloved show’s (Bepannaah) pivotal scene:

“main tujhe sirf raasta dikha sakti hoon, bacha nahi sakti. tujhe hi apni aap ko bachana hoga.”

a man cannot save a woman. a woman cannot save a man. nobody can save anybody. we each, have to save ourselves. the idea that someone, anyone, from the outside can save us, is a severely romanticised myth at best.

the narrative of this show has for a while now, switched (and not even subtly) from Aryan playing a guide to Imlie, to Aryan playing the “saviour” of Imlie. this is a problem. let’s take the issue at hand - the humiliation of Imlie for her infertility. the general consensus (both here and on social media) after today’s episode, is that everyone wants Aryan to heroically walk in and “thrash” Narmada/BM/BD for humiliating and forcing Imlie to participate in the superstition. but what does Aryan’s action/reaction do for the issue that is the humiliation of Imlie for her infertility? what does this actually do/change about it? even prior to this, we’ve seen Aryan “rescue” Imlie and tell off Narmada/BM/BD for treating her badly. but did it stop them from doing it again for good? no. did it stop her from hurting because of them and their words/actions for good? no.

we keep questioning when the world/society/people will change. but we fail to realise that change never comes from the outside. a change cannot happen for us that did not come from us. abuse and hurt does not stop when someone else says stop on your behalf, it stops when you say stop. shame stops when you say stop. humiliation stops when you say stop. disrespect stops when you say stop. it definitively has to be you that says stop. that is the only way for one to take back their power and control over themselves and their life/thoughts/emotions/relationships.

if the roles were switched, and this was Aryan’s story in which he is shown as constantly being “rescued” by Imlie, i’d still say the same thing. in every story (especially one about empowerment), the person whose story it is has to be the one to rescue themselves. that’s how you drive the story home. you can’t make someone else rescue that person and call it ‘empowering’. and i certainly don’t think any actor’s popularity can/should change this.

See the way I see it is the things that we always come across situations in our life when no matter how strong we are we just fall apart. We can fight all the world but when a person who you thought was your well wisher suddenly ends up becoming ur enemy you are fall apart. Within days Imlie went through so much . She is currently broken mentally, physically and emotionally. In this I won't expect her to take a stand . She is just not there. Narmada used all her triggers to attack her . Anyone in her place will be broken. When you are so broken , you need someone to rely on . That someone is the only one who has keeps you from loosing battles. That someone is aryan . Aryan gives her strength and she needs him to walk through this phase . When the time comes , I feel she will stand up for herself making aryan proud.

I honestly feel tomorrow aryan will be very disappointed with Imlie. And I hope that he tells her how by not speaking she did herself and him wrong.
