- Is feminism not doing housework? They have shown Kanak having issues with pick up the plate for herself and Uma. Now she has issues with doing his laundry. Is her issue doing the chore or his chores? Didn't Sandhya cook and do Suraj's chores? I remember her doing laundry and cooking and sewing under the guidance of Bhabho. So, are Kanak's objections here meant to put her in the wrong? Or is this the "naya soch" that Kanak's supposed to represent? What are the CV's trying to say? 😕

- Agree with Kanak that women don't...or should not need protection to walk outside. The modern woman can work shoulder to shoulder with men. And US should trust her to go around Ludno on her own. If she is unsafe then it reflects badly on Lundo not Kanak.

- Agree with Kanak that a man can cook and do household chores too. Doesn't US help her clean up when she is dressing and has stuff out everywhere? So, again I don't see US being backward here.

- Morning blessings by Patidev - I am more with Kanak on this one. Lakshmiji serves her Lord, but he is God! US is not 😛 Its sufficient that there be respect between a couple not worship imho.

- A woman should follow the Man - US has privately given up on this one already it seems. He let her run ahead in their jaunt around Ludno. A couple should be side by side. Not one ahead and one behind. Also if a woman should always be behind then someone explain the pheras to me. Why is it half half? Last, but not least there are times when man ahead is good for women - i.e. unsafe situations.😆

Do Share Your Own Thoughts of Feminism with regard to what has been shown on TSMSP. Do you agree or disagree with the perspectives of Kanak or US? Where do you think the CVs are headed?

Hey sweets nice post...
Being feminine means doing your own chores/ and those with whom you live and dividing them too...

I will point out that US could have made life a bit easier by buying a washing machine...or a grinder a fridge etc...he can afford it...


Serial are never a good place to show feminism, cause the cvs make a mess out off it...and let the woman shine as a true mahaan bhartienari...aka a doormat...who will accept all ill treatment and will forgive in a blink...

Nice post Girlie!...
Feminism is a vast topic n it has done many benefits to women's liberalisation along with many disadvantages to society...

Feminism(in marriage) is all about being liberal...not depending on your partner , equality of genders n also dividing chores and other expenses of house.Even women expect male members to bear weight of bearing a child.BUT ALL THESE CAN HAPPEN ONLY IF THERE IS SUPPORT FROM BOTH GENDERS

Anyways...kanak wants these kinds of liberty ...but in a wrong way... walking behind husband n touching his feet in the morning or gping out with malesmembers only is all age old ideologies...if she changes these then we can see true feminism...

But wat she does is plain war ..."if u do this to me...see how i revert back" that's not feminism ...if she has spoiled spmoething then its her job to correct it here feminism doesnt come..but uma saying that his wife will do that always is something wrong...wat is lacking Is support on both sides?...the level of understanding? ...and bonding?

Most of indian women who r not working take care of household chores so that they can support their husbands ...and husbands in return help their wives on holidays n weekends.

@anjana - hey there!!

I never could grasp the true definition of feminism, so for me it's a bit conflicted and confused a term. I never use it. But apart from that it's a wonderful post. .

-- Kanak having issues with picking up plates, doing laundry gives more of a spoilt brat vibes. If making faces at chores or seeing them as a burden is naya soch, then I would rather promote the older soch, which made person capable of doing stuff themselves. Being independent is to be able to manage chores by oneself, be it washing clothes or changing a tire.

- agree that woman needs the freedom to be able to walk out freely, Ladno is no nobody daddy's jaidad that woman needs protection and they can't walk out alone.

- agree that men needs to put in equal effort at domestic chores, and US does help her clean up but all this goes unnoticed as of now.

- it's hard to be human in this world, and peoples make Gods of themselves. No to feet touching that also every day.

- husband and wife need to be side by side, neither one ahead or behind. They need to be together, shoulder to shoulder, be it against each other or for each other. The balance which they create is necessary, that neither lags behind..

TSMSP has a lot of potential of exploring the clash of new and old soch, how they mingle and fight, and both of them learning from each other... neither one is outright wrong or right, but both have areas of improvement.m, a lot more can be learned and applied and appreciated.

Till now wht we have seen ..Kanak as a spoilt teenage type who lived in hostel ..a free bird..jo chaho karo..no restrictions n no body to correct u ..whenever she came home no body told her to do things u knw..it was a very short span so brothers n meenakshi...ki let her do things whtever she wants..in vacations generally family dnt bother to correct especially whn u dnt hv parents..So basically till now K is I m rite kinda person n vd Uma her ego clashes n obvious after forced marriage n shop misunderstandings so shez doing all this drama
Regarding Uma hez also only Male member in family n so worshipped..
now both met ..Cvs r trying to show how two totally different persons ..Kanak totally independent girl n Uma a Dharm follower vd thr flaws meet n change for each other...this z Nayi Soch I feel...Combination of modernisation vd old dharm practices like Yoga which is must for today genre

It's funny that Kanak claims to be the torch bearer of aaj ki aurat; however, she was ready to marry a guy of her Bhabho's choice right after collage without thinking of making a career or establishing self identity as an independent aaj ki aurat.

Getting married at 20 with a guy of your grandmother choice and settling in a new country not knowing what her future may bring for her is not what I would call aaj ki aurat. How did she know Mayank wouldn't have expected her to be a housewife, staying home, taking care of kids and household chores? That according to her was being aaj ki aurat because that made her Bhabho happy? I am confused.

If she really wanted to propagate what being aaj ki auraat meant, she would have started the initiative at her own house. Before teaching a lesson to an outsider (Uma, Massisa etc), she would have started with her own grandmother who is worse than Massisa and Uma.

The basics of feminism is that its her choice. The girl has the choice if she wants to do it or not. She should be the only one to decide what she wants to do. In Uma's household, there is no such concept as choice. Instead Uma constantly keeps telling Kanak that it is her duty to do these things for her husband. It's not a choice. Uma is capable of doing everything for himself but he believes he doesn't have to and only his wife should. She has no other choice.

I don't believe this is only feminism, it's a basic human right. Everyone should be allowed their freedom to make their own decisions, be it picking up some one else's plate or marrying a person of their parents pick. If the person is okay with it, than they have the full right to do it.
