1)For people bringing up old shows successes and acceptance in past to defend Silsila,
How hard is to understand that people who are criticizing here are not unhappy with the concept but with the treatment..that's where the makers have failed...if they had shown a gradual progression and gave us a strong reason for how and why this happened people would have understood the couple though they will never accept the couple.because EMA can never be justified.. cheating is cheating no matter what.
2)To people who are trying to defend the show by saying EMA is a real thing which happens in real life and they are happy with grey leads .
Yes, EMA is a fact/a real thing we agree and we have no problem with such concept..it becomes a problem when they try to glorify it..Yes we are also in for grey leads but the thing is they need to be presented as grey only, they should not be whitewashed..showing symbolisms like the extramarital couple are destined to be together and God is bestowing his blessings on them,their relationship is divine etc are UNACCEPTABLE..
3) To people who are saying stop watching if you can't handle such things.
When something wrong is shown which will have a bad influence on society , rather than stop watching the show,we need to protest..Silsila is conveying a wrong message and that's not acceptable..I have seen arguments like not every show is made to convey a message some are made just for the sake of story telling..but unintentionally hi sahi Silsila is sending out a wrong message NOT because of its concept BUT because of its poor treatment.
👏
Couldn't have said it any better.
There was a show Pehredaar Piya Ki. Even there, makers were telling a story but the show got shut down because they showed 18 year old girl getting married to 10 year old boy. Well, audience didn't stop watching the show, they made it to shut down
Now, it's not relevant here but atleast make a foundation for characters.
Nandini comes from an abusive marriage & yearns for a perfect family- Check.
Mauli is independent & happy woman in her marriage- Check
Kunal- what is foundation for this particular character. He was in love with Mauli when he fell for Nandini without any discord. (In Hasratein KT's marriage was at standstill. He wasn't in love with his wife, there was already discord)
I don't think people used to be that superstitious in those days, but today the characters of this show are one hell of superstitious people who believe in all that Mala falling, Greh Pravesh thing, Photo frame falling.
It's the treatment that is regressive, concept is still the very same.
