She is so on point with this one and the director she mentioned is a clever guy. He is right. Majority of the audience in the Indian subcontinent are stupid and will take anything as long as it's glittery and glossy. It's also true that it's the women that consume all these regressive shows and idolizes problematic men. They get so fiery at defending them and their toxic trades. They try to find meaning to their actions and how deep these men are and how hurt they are by coming up with theories and analysis even the writer wouldn't have thought of while writing the script. 😆 they are fine even when these men are glorified at the expense of the female characters. The saddest part is most of this are written by women themselves. Kuch ankahi is written by a man and he managed to flesh out not one but the entire female characters of that drama so well. Every single one of them are strong in their own ways and there are a lot of them. The female population in kuch ankahi is way higher than the male population 😆. Then we have writers like zanjabeel and TB writers that like to degrade and belittle women as much as they want to glorify or elevate the villain or the macho men in their story🤢. Majority viewers don't have the patience to see through the characters in KA and find it boring but will have all the time in the world to do a discectomy of shallow and badly written characters simply because the drama gives adrenaline rush😆
There is nothing wrong in watching masala content but atleast see it as a masala content and don't make it into some masterpiece or justify the problematic actions of the characters. Not every dramas need to have social messaging or meaning but atleast make sure not to consume content that degrades women and make them into nothing more than a probe to a man's life. 
The phrase 'aurat hi aurat ki sabse badi dushman hoti hai' is true. 
What she said is a sad reality and is the major reason for the decline of quality content on tv.
