KA is indeed a groundbreaker show, in a myriad of ITV shows with dramatic OTT ambience, bad storylines and awful MLs somehow it's done something incredibly different... Show rape as a positive thing.
Lemme start w the fact that it's not a ONS. It's rape. Stop whitewashing the incident. She's not ready for that, she did not want it, and it's forced prostitution. She's forced to sell herself.
The fact that she shuddered in fear when he touched her, yet he's able to perform further is evident of his true character. He's a rapist who doesnt have any concern for women's autonomy, comfort, basic physical boundaries.
The reason it's way more disturbing in indian subcontinent is bcz how real it is. Women are supposed to putup with this in arranged marriages, when husbands are eligible acc to parents and society. He's hot/educated/well off and that's enough reason to put up with 'one bad thing'.
This show is more regressive than colors+sp combined.
