I'm quite the critic and usually dubbed the basher and I'm not saying this is show is perfect but...
It's everything I want to see in a show. There's isn't anything I hate about it, and that never happens.😆 I don't think I've fangirled about a female fictional soap character before. Actresses yes, but a character never. Because they were all so mellow and insecure and all those things. Those qualities were glorified and shown as 'feminine' qualities. And it turned me off.
But Kumud.
I love her so much. No I'm not some biased fangirl from Jennifer's previous show(in fact never saw the bit's with her in it), I'm saying it because the characterization is so perfect and ofc Jennifer's doing a fabulous job of it.
I love a female character who's sassy and has attitude and confidence and all those qualities that women have today... that they want to have.
She's educated, she doesn't let anybody give her s*, she takes charge, she works for a living, she can help her father in his work... multi-talented, this is how women are these days. Ofc I can't generalize and say all Indian women are like that but the people I know certainly are. Maybe this is a city thing, i don't know. The fact that Kumud is in fact shown to be village bred is so inspirational and something women can look up to.
We don''t get characters we can look up to on television and Kumud brakes that stereotype.
I'm not saying she isn't flawed. She has her ego and sharp tongue but I do too and all of us have flaws and that makes it so real. She can make mistakes but it's her characterization I love so much.
It's pity people don't like strongly characterized female leads.For shame, in my opinion.
I just love Kumud so much.
Thank you Mr Bansali and all the creatives of SC for giving a character like Kumud.
