What is going on?

Who is writing these storylines and dialogues? Nothing makes any sense. Are there no women writers left in ITV? Who is writing these women characters? There's so much contridaction in this show it's insane.

The Poddars are supposed to be a well-to-do educated family, but their whole mentality is so backward.

Dadisa can go to the office but no other women can?

What is Ruhi's character supposed to be in this show? I still can't figure out if she's an actual idiot or playing dumb? "Awww Charu, you can't be a lawyer? Come do some colouring in therapy with me"

Manisha: Aww Abhira I like you, no I hate you, I'll listen to you, I won't listen to you.

Vidya is an absolute dodo.

Indian Serials have regressed so much since the good old days. Where are the regular women? They don't even need to be strong - just regular would be fine in this case

Note to writers: Do better.

Edit Update:

I don't really think producers or channels care about what the audience want - it's all about investments & profits (understandably so, but in this case it's detracting from the actual substance) - it's all about money money money from advertising, product placement, collabs, fashion, set design etc.

Everything is stretched out over weeks.

Content is no longer king.

Zero substance, zero storyline, zero progression.

I wonder if the actors feel any shame or embarrassment from the lines they're given?

True that

I also feel the same. The mind set of yeh rishta characters have beet set in 18 th century. Y can't charu be a competition for Arman. Y can't phuphasa think like that. I really wonder.

Gen 1 was much better like they evolved as time passed. Akshara took care of her family n business. But now her great great grand child has to fight to study.

I totally agree in the last 3 generations they showed women working. ..,Infact the birlas the whole family had doctors .. Akshara was pursuing a singing career .. and over here they have gone back 30 years .. Abhira mocked Armaan nicely calling them fossil

I stopped watching itv from long time and decided lets give rishta a chance during gen 3. I realized i am not meant for itv shows. It's so downgraded since old era. I feel even audience like these kind of downgraded content and does not support no toxic shows. Itv will never improve untill these legacy shows end. As in order to give competition to these legacy shows other shows brings pathetic track and in order to keep this legacy shows running as it's stable source of income for makers they can do anything.

You forgot the most important part. A woman needs to get married to be protected. Otherwise log kahenge yeh rishta kya kehlata hain. The entire Poddar family are museum material. Unfortunately Abhira is stuck there.

Apt. It has boiled down to just viewing. Tum gaali do ya Achcha bolo, as long as you tune in to watch the show, everything is secondary

1. Shadi ho.

2. Career banana ho

3. Baccha paalna ho

4. protection chahiye toh

5. bacche ko completee family dena hai toh.

6. kisi ki death hui toh shadi

7. Apne ex ko taadna ho toh shadi

no matter kuch bhi ho shadi is v. v. v. v. v. v. Important
