Breaking stereotypes - Page 2

Well said.

Kekta being in the position she is can and should break the mold and break stereotypes. If anybody can bring a change in the desi soap business, it is Kekta and I wish she would. Others will follow suit.

I wonder what exactly it is that appeals to viewers in shows like this that the TRPs are so high. I am not mocking the fans of this show, it is a genuine question.

Anytime I come across this show while changing channels there is a party going on or some silly plotting to frame or harm Pragya and she has to prove herself innocent. Like seriously????

Do the the 'creatives' have a story to tell at all? Preferably without objectifying women and showing them in such poor light..

This is an opportunity for the shows producers to show the strength in women - as a professional (she has a PhD I think), is a professor, was earning her own income to maintain herself and her family. Then she got married and dropped into a kingdom of no backbone, no common sense, is not alert and allows others to rail road her. Take up the challenge and make Pragya's character strong. Fight for her husband and her family as she should. Not have the wool pulled over her eyes by Aaliya and Tanu...

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">Why Oh Why is the character of a perosn especially the Women based on her dressing???? Why...</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">A persons way of dressing has nothing to do with ones character or personality...so why don't drama's show that...make the uneducated or even the so called educated masses aware of such that not all saree and shalwar kameez wearing women are Saints or Sati Savitris...can bepoisonoustoo...because of their characters or personality and viceversethat not all career oriented and modernly dressed women are not Vamps or home destroyers etc..that they can be as saint like or sati savitri ..</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">Another thing that is reallyirritatingis the good women willing to take all the abuse melted out to her quietly by her hubby or his family...this promotes domestic violence in my opinion...showing the women that a good girl, lady never ever complains but only bears all , even if it results in her death.</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">Same way why are men allowed to do anything or war anything and its alright?? Hes still the hero...</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">Example Abhi leading two women on ...one Tanu who he keeps saying he loves and Pragya who he does not even divorce just so he can keep his dadi happy...why is it ok??

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">He has been shown to abuse Pragya verbally, mentally and sometimes even physically...</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">So why is he still a Hero??? and not theVillain??</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">A man is not a villain if he wears shorts, shirts, pants, jeans !!! Why??</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">A man is not good or bad no matter what clothes he wears or does not wear...so the question is are all these stereo type</font>rules for Women and not for Men or the rules are different and are gender biased??

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">Ekta who started some trends in her ht shows can now as she herself is a working career oriented women show that women can work after marriage, be independent, dress choice does not show ones character, personality, etc.</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">So why is Pragya shown to be so submissive ...backbone or selfrespect-less...with nointegrity...once she got married????</font>

<font color="#990066" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">She was shown completely different in the beginning and after marriage it all change ...??</font>

We can all argue about how stereotyped and weak Ekta portrays her heroines to seem, but unfortunately, this is what the housewives - who form a major portion of the viewers - like!🤢

How many serials with a strong woman character have run for more than a year or two?

The youth of today YEARN to see some good shows where the heroine is a combination of beauty and brains, but we don't form the major audience, so our opinion really doesn't matter.😡
