Is GK trying to ridicule the Hindu marriage system?

I really hate myself for again getting trapped in a GK show. When I started watching IB, I thought maybe this time she will stick to her commitment towards viewers but I was wrong, she is back with her never ending insult on the institution of marriage, to her marriage and engagements are just two words which you can use as many times you want to get your story stretched.
We have seen shivaay getting engaged 4 times and almost getting married twice and one original marriage... viewers had to believe that although Tia and shivaay took fera but that is invalid as the pundit was fake BUT in Gauri Omkara marriage there was no pundit,no havan, nothing only Omkara's blood was enough to make that marriage valid!!!
My question is whether she is trying to mock the Hindu Marriage system through her shows, saying that Hindu marriage does not hold any importance? Her leads never do a marriage registration why? is not registration of marriage is a must these days?
Why getting engaged and breaking it any time (read, when the plot demands) is a regular thing in her shows?
Is getting engaged is a game which anyone can play n number of times?
Her hero(Shivaay) is again ready to get engaged to someone just to take revenge on one, with whom he claims to be in love with!
This is painful to watch a director/producer as famous as GK taking advantages of public emotions to make fun of an institution as holy as marriage. Here a married and much in love man going to get engaged with someone, he never loved, can't tolerate it. Hope this PH shuts down soon.
Thoroughly disgusted ... don't know how star pus is allowing such things!!!

So many fake marriages/engagements/forces marriage/khun bhari maang type shadi I have not seen in any shows... for GK shadi is a game. GK always comes with a fresh idea people expect more from her, but these days she is busy in mocking marriages and engagements I think.

I do agree and even understand why you are saying, what you are but I would say a thing that I have realized a few days before.

If we watch the shows keeping in mind that they are fictions, mere imagination and there is nothing like right/wrong, justified/unjustified because imagination is vast and that depends on the person who is creating it but varies from person to person who is looking for it .


It was the episode before separation where I was disgusted with ML. He threw the papers on her face and
that made me question myself was it worth watching this show? It was all a thought process of a few minutes but when after some days , like today, when I sit back thinking over the same... I do not feel that severely for it.
May be because I am learning, reminding myself that it is a fiction... idea of someone, and the imaginary world will revolve as per writer's creativity but that doesn't mean I am watching the show.

See its similar to that of reading a FF or a book. In the end, serial or book, both are fictions. When you read a book and you don't find it satisfying to yourself... what you do is to leave it. We might like some pages but once we feel disconnect, we refrain from going further. We don't question the writer saying why you have written this ? and all stuff but the same book, which you did not like may be loved by many.

Similarly, we watch serials until we like it but here is a slight difference here . We get more attached to shows (visuals, no?) and hence we keep watching it even if it disappoints us and in the end, get frustrated because from out point of view, its not justifying but it can be... from that of the many people.

Have you seen Harry Potter? We know that it is not real but when we step into that world, we want to believe everything because we like it and when we don't like it, we start relating it with life, searching for the essence of realistic-ness. It is pretty normal and human nature.


Post is getting long. I will stop my rant now.
I admire you if you read it whole 😆

Don't get offended
No one can make any one watch a show deliberatly
This is a business, it need to produce "money"
For that the production house need TRP.
Who gives it the viewers !!!!!
They are trying to feed the crowd what they like.
Is there any show the "Male lead " not engaged to other females !
There are a few but they failed at TRP.

We must separate from "reality from dream"
Why must people fight for stars!

If any fan face a problem in real life no celebrity come to help !Why to think the characters are real!
Actors are acting for "money "( they won't do it free")
Producers are doing it for financial benefit !
We must give "entertainment the value it deserve , not our soul

Every thing rolls around benefit , the fact serials are regressive because majority of the viewers prefer it .
Once the women in India changes the regressive concepts will change .
It is every ones faults ...
Or can say it id no ones fault...
The strange way things work...

Thank you for the reply and I agree with many points you mentioned above. I am a Harry Potter fan and sometime really wish to board the Hogwarts Express and get into that colorful world, I love Harry potter for its contents, its message towards the youths and the above all the continuity that JK Rowling maintained in all her seven installments. I think I should stop here, with my limited knowledge, it is impossible for me to explain why I love that series.

Here the matter is different, GK shows attract mostly the younger generations and only few matured viewers (like us) who just love lighthearted romance, but GUL has this uncanny ability to select right leads and create a dreamlike atmosphere where these romantic souls wants to take refuge from this cruel world where heart break is a regular thing. Her shows are popular in abroad as well, now showing this kind of things really breaks my heart.

I really don't want to believe that she is trying to ridicule our marriage system,but each show should coy some message and her show sending a message that you can just get engaged/married to take revenge on your lady love, younger viewers are her major audience and she knows that very well, showing this kind of stuff may influence their views towards marriage.

Reading a book is my choice but a show when it is airing every day we can't control our kids always. I don't know if my words are making any sense, all I want to say is reading something and watching something is completely different specially when the characters are so close to your heart that you are almost obsessed with them.

Sorry for another lengthy reply... ignore mistakes as writing in English is not an easy thing for me.

I know what you wrote is the harsh reality, but then why this tag is there, like family show, youth shows, etc and why intimate scenes are not permitted on TV. Mockery of marriage is allowed making fun of commitment is allowed but reality of marriage/relationship is not allowed.I will never understand Indian TV serials.

Even I wished so and started watching this show with new hope and renewed trust in GK.

Actually Qubool Hai1 was better, at least male lead (Asad) was intact, no third angle for him, but she spoiled everything by getting Zoya and Ayan married, for me show ended there only.
I watched QH till 270 episodes and then stopped.

She proudly said how IB has a long way to go to be called equal with QH.. I was, like really?? who wants your qubool hai? Only you can be proud of that crap show.

Don't know IB's future, I can foresee many marriages are lined up for our favorite Shivika. I don't have any hope left for IB.

Its fine😊 See, I presume from your way of saying that you are a mature viewer [ even married, if I am not wrong]
Producers will produce shows, won't they? Because that is how they earn like some people work in an company, some do business, likewise this is their job, a way to earn money. Baki, how much seriously one takes it depend on the person solely and producers cant be blamed, I believe.
I understand when you say it breaks your heart and that is why, I advise you really shouldn't watch if that is affecting you so much.



I really don't want to believe that she is trying to ridicule our marriage system,but each show should coy some message and her show sending a message that you can just get engaged/married to take revenge on your lady love, younger viewers are her major audience and she knows that very well, showing this kind of stuff may influence their views towards marriage.

Again, we cannot really blame her for the things she is showing because that is her show and it is expected to consider that viewers will take it like a fiction. Relating it with a life, and reality is like being stupid [ which I did, just few days before🤢] As much as I hate to admit but the fact is, such series, get them TRPs [ what they are working for] They aren't to be blamed because audience is liking what they are showing.🥱
@Bold above, you have kids? Ah, if possible you should keep them away from IB [ because there has been a lot of extremes shown. But if you are letting them watch, make sure to tell them the difference between a serial and life and what we see in the show cannot and should not exist in reality.

Again, if the characters are close to our heart and we are obsessed with them, then its our look out, no? Its about us. CVs or producers cant do anything. Not trying to be rude. I hope you are getting what am I trying to say.

No, thats absolutely fine. Do not worry about the same.
