Will Sita ever look at Ram ?

I agree - it's really distracting! And they have been showing her as making eye contact before - even when it was clear they liked each other.

I think the writer changed between the episodes up to the swyamvar and the episodes they're showing now. There's a clear shift in how they're showing Sita. She's gone from being confident and assertive (which I preferred) to breathing heavily all the time and lowering her eyes! I know it's supposed to be perhaps more historically accurate but I was enjoying the earlier depiction of Sita.

This Sita is a lot more historically accurate and for that I am pleased. I think CVs are finally listening to the portion of audience who prefer historical accuracy to modern feminist approach of the characters.

Women in those times did not look men in the eye, even after marriage, but particularly before marriage! It doesn't matter whether we like this or not, that's how it was back then and that's how it should be portrayed in television.

A woman can still be confident and assertive and still be shy. There is nothing degrading about being shy. It doesn't make her any less confident. I am glad CVs are not showing post-Swayamvar Sita as the modern day woman she was before the swayamvar. That was simply not Sita, couldn't connect with her at all. This current Sita resembles the epic Sita a lot more than the pre-Swayamvar one.

If people prefer seeing the modern day assertive and outspoken women on TV, they should watch modern day shows, not mythological ones. I'd rather not see our graceful mytho ladies tampered with, thank you very much.

Agreed, we should remember that this is not a mills and boons story. By the way, is your previous username JanakiRaghunath?
