It is indeed a complete shame for a show to be depicting all this and more.

Rape

Babies are produced on demand and when not, are relegated to the hands of ayahs/ other men/ other people..... [/quote]

I agree it is silly and unrealistic to show multiple lovers/husbands... But isnt it a shame to show multiple wives too??😆😆 Or is it acceptable because "Men" can do anything? 😕... I hope thats not what you meant.😃

Priya... I fail to get your point... 😕😕😕 Why is it a shame to show rape and illegitimate children? Aren't they a part of the bitter reality? Every minute... a rape happens somewhere or the other...What I think is a disgrace is when a rapist goes around justifying his act... And Ekta is certainly doing a great job asking women to SPEAK OUT against rape...

[quote] In the name of Bharatiya sanskar, television is indeed depicting a very poor picture of Indian community/ mentality... behaviour etc. [/quote]

Poor or not.. Its true... Not just India... It happens everywhere...

Today, is being an illegitimate child, such a major stigma, like it was in the past? [/quote]

Unfortunately it still is...😭 Unless u are an illegitimate child born of a celebrity...

[quote] But more importantly, would any of us ever start doing what the angads or kripas or naina.. or prithvi.... or (taking a deviation to kyunki.. which is another of such shows) Tulsi do in our day to day lives....

Surely not 😳

Maybe.... Maybe not...😳 Had there been a Kripa in real life who had been cheated and left pregnant with Angad's child... She would have probably committed suicide... Which is a very sad state of affairs...As much as I am an Ekta critic... I love the way she depicts unwed mothers as strong women who dont let irresponsible men who leave them midway ruin their lives... They dont become escapists trying to abort their unborn children... I like the way Ekta shows unwed mothers fighting for their dignity... It is certainly not fair that an unwed mother like Kripa be showered with the choiciest of abuses and the other person responsible (Angad) gets showered with flying kisses because he is a MAN...

And Angad.... There are a lot of Angads roaming around in reality 😆😆... Ditto with Prithvis and Nainas....

My married neighbour got married to another woman half his age so that she could bear him female children... Sadly nobody bothered to speak up in the name of family honour.... Ekta's shows show people speaking out against injustice... But in reality there are a lot of them who remain silent spectators...

What Ekta shows in her soaps isn't all that far from reality... Such things do happen.... Its just that the so called righteous people that we are... We tend to shove this under the carpet pretending all is well.... 😭😭...

So I fail to understand how it is a disgrace...😕😕
