Ranji...awesome post.
I am with Ne...I could not like a lot of these characters based on what I read about them. But they have grown on me.Dilshaad is still my favorite, but yesterday she totally made me unhappy.Badi Bi - the less said the better. Honestly, she is just a waste of time and space. Despite knowing everything, she has not nothing, zilch, nada...😡About men in hindi serials - would u believe that they get paid more than their female counterparts? This is to compensate them for their almost prop like usage. And it is partly coz of the viewership, most serial watchers are women, it must make them feel good to see the women glorified and the men moping around.😆 An alternative reality you see.Handsome, powerful, rich men making mistakes and crying about them. and still loving their mahan female leads with all their hearts. This is what dreams and fantasies are made of for the abla naris of the 21st centuries.
@Bold, you put it perfectly👏
Whatever is shown, the female audience feels that however bad their own reality is, it's still not as bad as the leads😆
A mother watching this show is likely to feel that her poor daughter may not be intellectually gifted but atleast she isn't as dumb as Zoya to run out on the eve of her own marriage and a young wife is likely to say to herself that her hubby may be an ass at times but atleast he hasn't tried to loan her out to his bro😆
It's all relative😆
