Whta have the CV's turned Raman Bhalla into for the sake of TRP'S

Doubtful that will ever happen because the 7.30 aunties want zombie like men and superwoman women! The RKB we knew is probably long gone in the anals of desi tv much like so many iconic characters from the stables of Ekta Kapoor - Mihir, Anurag, Jai Walia - they were icons until their wives became superwomen, after which they basically became wall-hangings.

I never watched KSBKBT & KSK, but I watched Kasam Se where Jai Walia was the predecessor for RKB of today. He was iconic till they decided to decimate him to make his wife strong. It seems to be an EK serial trend - start off with strong characters, then slowly make the devi mahaan and everyone else around them stupid (except of course for the vamp!) so it becomes a constant tussle between devi and vamp.

The men just make token appearances where they either cry a la RKB or mutter inanities again a la RKB! Who would have thought the RKB we knew would subjugate himself to Ashok instead of trying to bring Ashok down? In business its each one to his own, and the RKB we knew, would have the intelligence to take Ashok's company from under his nose, which is what we thought RKB's working in Ashok's company would lead to, but no, instead this RKB only cries, mutters inanities and begs for forgiveness when his lies/mistakes are caught!

Why do the men get sacrificed simply to make the woman look good? Why can't any show or serial have both male and female protagonists be strong and complement one another? But then, why ask stupid questions for an EK show? They follow the same pattern inspite of promises that a new concept will be shown.

As true as that sounds...Please don't say that...I know the way things are shaping up...it's futile to think otherwise but against all hopes I wish RKB does not fall into that category. The one show I am hanging on to even if it's Historical Fiction is Jodha Akbar from the same PH where even today the male and female protagonists have equal importance...and one is not sacrificed at the altar of the other.

I have never watched any of Balaja Shows except for JA and now YHM but I have heard my friends crib and cry about the changes that go...but I sincereously hope that it does not happen in YHM and this is only a passing cloud.

Raman working for Ashok, without even knowing who he is working for was the biggest shock for me...But then I was like he was desperate he did not see it coming and signed a contract...but now that he is working he has completely submitted to Ashok and that is fundamentally against the RKB who was shown...This is the man who once worked under Ashok only to realize that his boss was screwing his wife which led to him latching on to the competitive streak inside of him to be the CEO Raman Bhalla we saw...but now to see this again for the sake of drama hurts the eyes and the heart.

So true why can we have both Men and Women characters that are equally sound and powerful? I do not agree to the whole make the Women look like Superwoman-Devi types tagging it as woman empowerment. I have always known and experienced that most of the times we Indians are hypocrites and there couldn't be a better example than this...Star Plus supports an initiative that focuses on Gender Equality and to see them support this kinda character transition for the sake of drama...I guess nobody practices what they preach.

More than RKB I now feel like asking - what have they done to the whole show? 😆
