That's sad! 😞
They say art imitates life, but the other way round is also true. What we see on screen influences us to lead our life that way.
When for decades you portray female leads being tortured in every relationship and yet they never crib or complain (only allowed to cry) and always the first to forgive and forget, it slowly seeps into the psyche of the society as the benchmark of women. Women are portrayed as rehab centres for men. The man can be rude, arrogant, selfish and what not but it is the woman who.will transform him and bring him back to the right path.
Sadly, this is far from reality. Habits can be changed, not the core values. When women try to live upto these unrealistic standards set by TV shows, they are bound to fail.
And if a woman dares to raise her voice against abuse or oppression and calls out the hypocrisy, she is branded as difficult. They blame the woman of being stubborn and adamant and incapable of handling her relationships.
That's the reason why it is so important to show strong female characters on screen who set an example for the young gals watching it. It is equally important to represent real men on screen who can set an example on what it is to be a green flag.
Perhaps only then we will start having matured audiences who clearly understand the distinction between abuse and romance. Currently abuse is portrayed as romance in every show. The problem is men recreate the same abuse in real life and women confuse it as romance and stick around. What a mess! 😞 😞
Wahi toh! We need New and daring creators. People who will make the difference. ITV need that
Better our shows with dum tan Na Na in BG. Zameen aur asmaan ka farak. Simply, from a decade, ITV Lost its charm.
