Ektas bahus- womans weeks view.

Since its womans week this week i was thinking about the characters in ektajis dramas🤔alot of people tend to think that ektas women are undignifity and not truthful and alot of what she shows tends to be rubbish and immoral without any point but i have to disagree i have a different view to put across which most might not agree with.

Nice analysis of Ektaji's characters sis! 👏

glad you liked it bro 👍🏼 hope its ok ....

I'll admit that in the past, I felt that Ektaji's serials (like Kohi Apna Sa) seemed to make the lead male characters seem like supporting cast members. However, after a while I felt that the show balanced itself out a bit better. I'll admit that overall KAS wasn't my kind of series...

Yeh you seem to not like it when male characters are pushed to the back more than that the ghantees...yeh suppose it did really but it depends on story concept usually males not as crucial to who concept..yep its not really it was was not as dark as ks or no ghantees 😆

Koshish was one of my favourite serials! The characters were well written and performances were strong. The journey of Sandhya Mridul's characters in Koshish was brilliantly shown. The way her character grew in strength was well great.

It was mine thats the first serial i actually noticed the acting in.....and yes the characters growth was shown well...and felt overall the story ended well as well and on time.

In terms of characters, KS is also very strong. I thought at the start that it was going to be like another Koi Apna Sa, but I was happy to see that the characters were better written. 👍🏼

Hmm i dont know for some reason i prefer kas if i had to choose between them i would choose KAS for some reason think kasamh se is alot more depressing than that....also it was fairly evenly focused on all 3 leads than 2 ...ks is stronger because of the whole story like you said.

In particular, Bani has been appreciated everywhere. Again, watching her grow in strength has been brilliant. The combination of simplicity, innocence, and culture along with strength and endurance makes Bani a great character. Also, as Nina mentioned, it's great to see that Jai and Bani are shown as equal in every way (other than size and age! 😆 )

Bani has grown over time.....you got it spot on her innocence and how simple and normalish she is what makes her equal...lol thats what i like that they are equal...😆😆apart from age and size....Jai would be in a lot of trouble by now if it was real telling you.

Everyone can trust Ektaji to make sure that her female characters won't ever be given a back seat because of the males... that's a good thing. Whilst males still dominate the big screen, it's good to see that people like Ektaji can also give women their fair due on the small screen. 😊

yeh they sure can 😊 its good to see that though....males do indeed dominate main stories on screen 😕 hope she does the same for her movies as well...yeh shes one of the few people that does 👏

God bless.

will respond to rest of you later 😛 this is like a overdose for me considering i am off the addicts list now.

Betiyaan and other shows like Betiyaan shouldn't be compared to Ekta's shows...simply because they have totally different points to get across. Betiyaan doesn't condone what's being shown. It's simply a fact that such families do exist, where sons are treated better than the daughters.

yeh thats true it was abit unfair 😊 yeh betiyaans great message to people...however ekta does not condone it either its not like every villian gets away with the wrong...as for pandits that have been mentioned before jj whos quite religious explained to me kindly when asked that corrupt pandits exist and shows entertainment not to get a message across....

Now coming to Ekta's women, I have to agree with you that none of them are weak. The problem is, sometimes, they tend to be too selfless (which is very unrealistic). In the real world, we don't have many people who are like them, who think about everyone else but themselves.Well actually i would have to disagree as cynical i am i have the biggest example of selfless person in my life my dad 😛hes selfess for other people when it comes to himself he does nothing he deserves I'm not saying there's anything wrong with such people. It's just that they don't exist. yeh they tend not to...Can't really say much about Ekta's other bahus, since the only shows I watch/watched are KS, KTH, and KAA. I only see ks at the moment and saw first episode of kayamath i only watch k shows on zee

I love Bani's character. She was strong, independent and she also
financially supported her sisters. She was a mother at a tender
age. She cried alone. Bani was simple, dignified and independent.
Back then She had an identity.
Bani's compassionate nature knows no limit. Thats all good.
Being kind and compassionate is a good thing. It is necessary.
She upheld cultural, traditional, moral, ethical
values and at the same time she was a modern single girl. That was so
wonderful about Bani. well said i agree banis character is great and i like the character but what i dont like about her is the fun factor she bores me a bit to be honest ..however looking at the characters story its understand since shes meant to be more mother figure than just a young woman..well not so young now And the credit here entirely goes to Ekta. She was
the one responsible for the character and locating the actress to fit this
role. 👏 indeed she is great at that 😕 she was the one who brought naryani 😛 even had kirti and sharad in kammal if i am correct at one point ....so not only is she lucky it rubs off on stars...
Problem is that after awhile they put her through a character shredder --
and not dealing with the ONS issue from Bani's pov as a wife.
And that pov is very important for this story to not only move Bani as a
character but also JW. This is one character that Ekta could have taken to
unsurpassed heights. There is still time, Ekta. To do the right thing. That i agree with you but it was shown with the break down though when Jai came back i think they needed more of a reaction...all her characters i think have justice in the end when you look at the overall story when a serial ends if that makes sense .....like the full journey.[ /QUOTE]

Nina...nice post in portraying the strong characters that Ekta has created.. Hey thank you boss 😉 i have to earn the kreatives tag somewhere right!

I loved Bani, to an extent Tulsi and Parvati too. They are all women who are not only emotionally and mentally strong but they go all out to save their loved ones. Well even i know about tulsi and parvati though i aint seen the shows lol so shows how great characters they are....yeh they do 😊all caring

However, my problem is that somewhere down the road, in order to enhance the story and move it forward...these very same women are completely shredded.
I just hope they do a better job of maintaining the characters and not just create a strong one and then let them degrade...

That is true they are because its needed for the story but the characters always comes a full circle from where they started this serial tends to be more a story of the journey than anything....hope they do am sure they will they did with KAS after the leap.
