*** EDITEDExcellent post Megha...To be fair to the makers, they stayed away from the stereotyped-heroine avatar for a long time.They had Mihika, who could beat up a bunch of people when mistreated. Even at the beginning of this Ashok track I remember she said I will beat up Ashok if he tries anything with me. Why should I be afraid and sit at home?And then there was Ishita, the woman who, once upon a time, told her mother she didnt need a husband. She was happy to adopt a child alone. She didnt seem to be the type who bowed down to anything or anyone.Even Ishita's marital home was quite refreshingly different from a typical in-laws/new bahu model. Any grief Ishita got from Simmi & Toshi was because they believed Param, and not because Ishita was considered a witch who could lure Raman away from the Bhalla family*** and then, things changed (I am of the opinion they started changing both these women in preparation for the new time slot)They wanted to make sure they didnt turn this into a typical saas-bahu soap even with the new timeslot. Instead they tried selling these 2 characters to us as evolved, unique, morally righteous, selfless and strong women.Only, they went too far.No one with an ounce of self-respect would bring their husband's ex into their bedroom. Not just once, but twice. This has nothing to do with purity, goodness or humanity. Shagun could have stayed in Ruhi's room/Simmi's room/even Romi's room. Even when we have guests at home, and we need to accommodate them, the 'single' people lose their bedrooms first. that's just like an unsaid rule no?No one would tolerate an outsider insulting their parents (EVEN if their parents were at fault)No one would go out of their way to 'trap' a molestor only to show the truth to the molestor's partner (both cases Param-Simmi & Ashok-Shagun)A fair and evolved woman wouldnt say she need not give character certificate to anyone. She would try and understand why someone even thinks she needs a character certificate.A modern and morally righteous woman would have slapped her husband the day she was 'attacked' by himI am not even going into the relationship they showed between Mani and Ishita in the beginning. I think they went way overboard.A modern woman doesnt have to display loss of intelligence to show gain of maturity... That is what I am trying to sayZD - if You read this... this post of mine was dedicated to you😎
Good post lucky
Well said
