So far for the most part the show seems to be going okay. Characters are fairly balanced and they are touching upon on some issues /topics facing today’s youth
With that being said I will say that I am disappointed at the shows messaging regarding crimes against girls/women.
The show is trivializing crimes of violence or sexual assault against women by showing it as a one off mistake of males and that they should be forgiven cause it will ‘ruin’ their life
This part of the show has not gone down well me personally.
Anokhi was sexually assaulted, and then made to forgive her aggressor just like that. No one followed up or batted an eye
Astha was attacked not because she helped Anokhi but because she is a woman who dared to stand up for what’s right and showed no fear of the man threatening her. Again she was made to forgive her shooter by staying quiet
Anokhis mom suffered abuse at the hands of her husband for many many years and even though she stood up to him finally , she too sort of did a forgive and move on action.
None of these men have expressed real remorse or asked for true forgiveness. I am baffled at this
The show needs to address acts of violence against women as not a one off situation but as something that is happening because the man is really flawed in how he thinks and perceives women and he isn’t about to change just like that.
Violence is not a damn switch that can be turned off permanently. You can’t cut the wires to that kind of toxic thinking by giving them a small shake
