Do daily dramas only show bhābhī-devara pairings, or also jījā-sālī pairings?
In Indian history and literature, there are a few examples of a widow marrying her brother-in-law - for example, Dhruvadevī marrying Candragupta, and plentiful examples of a man marrying two or more sisters concurrently. In real life these days, one is more likely to find women like actress Kamini Kaushal, who married her elder sister's widower to give their children a mother.
Dhruvadevi was formerly a queen of Chandragupta's older brother Ramagupta, who opted to give her up to a Shaka opponent after being besieged, according to the now partially lost Sanskrit play Devi-Chandraguptam. Infiltrating the enemy camp while posing as the queen, Chandragupta killed the intruders. Based on other literary and epigraphic evidence, a reconstruction of the play implies that Chandragupta later killed Ramagupta and wed Dhruva-devi. Modern historians disagree about whether this story is historically accurate; some see it as a fabrication.
Illegitimate relationships in ITV serials is a disturbing factor, it is a recent development of retrograde thinking, we must say.
It is reasonable to presume that male filmmakers and other male professionals will depict women in films/ serials with gender biases and limitations and may or may not explore women's world perspectives, perceptions, and subjective realities.
The majority of the time, the roles that women portray on screen reflect the male director's vision of what those roles should be. This idea is based on the maker's views, values, and beliefs, as well as what the writers believe the audience wants to witness. It is their views, attitudes, and values—which are derived from the social context in which they live.
