ITV is too ridiculous to take seriously, but the show really takes the absurdity to new heights. I'm surprised the makers are brave enough to mention ANY social messages after what they have written for the past eight months.
The fact the dowry case was used to show a fight stunt takes the cake. Women empowerment isn't about a woman fighting six men singlehandedly outside her house lol. Honestly, the lectures from Akshara come off as a joke considering the makers showed the female lead live with a man she met on the bus before marriage for months then marrying him after she gave birth to her ex-husband's child in secret. She has been verbally, physically, and emotionally abusing both real father and son for months. In fact, she is no different than those regressive aunties she was lecturing. Are they are new writers? Or do they not care anymore?
In 2023, the makers wouldn't show a heiress to a jewelry empire raising her own son. Rather than trivializing real social issues the makers should focus on the random birthday parties lol.
