Only you could come up with a unique analysis such as this post, and in all honesty many have ignored the plight of other female character's, almost all female character have a gut wrenching story to tell !!, while the men characters were shown to be on a cruel rampage to get what they wanted regardless of the fact that many of their actions were heinous, criminal and they had no regrets, in fact oblivious to their crimes and the irony is that their popularity derailed the efforts of the CVs to show women empowerment.
A total failure now with the nose diving popularity of this serial and characters, since the original concept was abandoned during the second half of this serial !!!.
Thanks mate...
I feel that the CV's and the audience both have ignored the plight of the other females. The focus upon carrying the social issues have been centralised towards Kriya mostly.
BUT now almost every show is cracking down towards real issues.
OUR surroundings do not face many issues as such, because of the country we live in and the calibre of people we associate with. We're amongst a modern society which has progressed to ruling the roost or equality, and shared childcare responsibilities. Over the last 20 years the society has changed where once a man was looked down on, if he helped his wife change their childs nappy (or diaper as they call it in the states).. is looked upon more favourably now if he seen potty training his child. Fathers attending a mother and toddlers group was rather uncommon - but in the last 5 years it's become more acceptable. AND this is how it should be. Both parents involved equally in their childs upbringing even if is against the society's traditional norms. YRKKH is giving fine examples of showing a fathers involvement in his childs life. You can really relate to the couple.
Diya aur Batti recently is showing 'killing of baby girls' is wrong and opening the eyes of people in this case.
MKAP has focused on marriages a lot. So has Maryaada. But they need to keep the balance right. Not all marriages are failures... There is much positivity in them and it's important to see that aspect too. So they should make sure they are not giving the wrong idea to the society. Hence I feel the topics and reality issues of an ideal life is dipicted well in YRKKH.
I hope they find a affective way of getting the message accross without placing the main pratoganist in the centre to give out cold stares alone which are efficient enough to freeze over the North Pole - but not effective enough to melt the heart of their audiences or mould their thoughts towards a more modern yet acceptable society.
You're right the focus has been so far on the more favourable romantic side of MKAP - But with the changing times of TV.. The CV's have buckled up to keep in the race. Hence they've pushed the boat out to take in the other females of the show too. Each of them are in a pickle and it's going to be interested to see how they are wiped out of it.
