Really sorry mods for continuing this, but I just have to say Rishta.Com is a class above any other show currently on air on Indian TV. But at the end of the day, Indian audience is too used to saas-bahu stuff, sari-clad pati-vrata sacrificing queens that it's hard to accept other things. RC is aimed at urban audiences, it's a modern show, depicting life as it is nowadays in urban cities atleast. The core however is the oldest and purest tradition of marriage..The cases that come are cases that everybody can relate to--they are stories of every household. And yes they are open about a man-woman relationship, but isn't that how things are becoming nowadays too atleast in metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai?
I guess seeing such things on TV in the US on a daily basis leaves me unaffected with the openness of relationships in YRF shows. Also, the screenplay, dialogues, and acting of Rishta is just so amazing that I just don't even think about anything else, but I completely understand your point..
