Not sure how many of you were alive in 1996, but this scene rocked India back then, when it was shown on ZTV in 1996
She is cheating with her student, while her husband is outside playing some classical music
Show was very interesting and very bold, about a middle aged cheating wife, who was cheating with much younger man. The sex scenes were bold
Hasratein Kurukshetra Swabhimaan Tara Indian TV was so good back then
The guy she cheated on was ugly, especially with the back hair eww ... Compared to him, Yashwant Dutt appeared more sincere.
A couple ruffling under the sheets is hardly bold lol.
I'd heard a lot about the show but when I watched it, it was disappointing as heck. They talk about Savi potentially having an affair for 50 episodes until she actually has one.
A classic case of average work being immortalised as quality merely cos the topic was daring.
And the attempt to whitewash Himani's character when she returned all those years later when she pleaded she did nothing wrong was cringe. She treated her husband like shit even if you keep the infidelity aside.
I think Dard by Neena Gupta was the pioneer, first she marries an older guy(Manohar Singh, what a fantastic actor he was) and then goes to town with a guy her own age while still being married.
The show was quite a path-breaking one supported by some good actors.
