Women & their Legal Marital Rights - Page 2

As always manzil you are on point. In the 21st century we are still seeing a woman in an Indian tv show lacking the spine and self respect to stand up for herself. Love yourself and put yourself first. This show is indeed boring. a certain character that recently exited only made me watch it but even when that character was there the whole track was entitled to soulmate love saga. Love is suppose to elevate you. Provide you with happiness and peace. Where in prerna love is she happy and at peace. Again for the million time she has to fight for her love and right. And what's worse is that she is pregnant and writers don't even care to put in a scene of her thinking of the child. There is always one person in her mind other than her family, herself and child.

Thanks Durga, I was precisely waiting for your comment on this one. Agreed to everything what you said.

My exact problem with Prerna is not the men in her life but her pure existence which has nothing unique to offer. She is always parallel to the men in her life and her life revolves around this doomed love story and her pathetic Vishwas of reunion.

Does she even care about her child? Always running and falling and tripping!!!!

I also forgot to add the story line goes where she always have to save her lover or fight for her so call rights. Repeative and predictable. Even trp audience can predict the storyline . Not to mention prerna is fighting against komolika who is anurag legal wife. Yes his legal wife from when he married her before her so called death. Her being alive means she is still his wife.

That’s why I questioned her legal rights! You know it would have been a great message for the audience if they actually had a court drama against legal rights of a woman!

This is not 19th century Parineeta Novel! It’s sad to adapt a trope like Bengali khichadi of stories.
This is 21st century and according to the Hindu Marriage Act, Sindoor Bharna is NOT A MARRIAGE!
The only LEGAL marriage she had was with her previous husband who married her with rituals and divorced her in the LEGAL way!

That’s what my problem is. Don’t make a mockery of judiciary and soulful love.

I have seen people who are irrevocably in love but choose to part ways because hey self respect is super important.

Destiny be damned!!!!!

Even in the Bengali society today, we all do the registry of the marriage on the marriage day itself!!

Ekta said this is a modern version of prerna. Where? In today's world where do you see a girl behave like prerna? Mostly girls are career driven and independent. They make smart choices and know when a love or relationship is toxic to leave. Prerna doesn't know where to draw the line. She is embarrassing herself and moreso her family in the name of love. This girl has been asked to leave and thrown out before and she is still there. She has no individuality. Her sole existence and purpose depends on the ML which is terrible. Her job in the show is to take care of the basus and their son. She puts so much effort into doing that she doesn't even spare a thought for her family, herself and unborn child. How many times can you save a ML?

Also I forgot to add. Look at the definition of love and a relationship. Compare that to what's being show here. The love scenes in this show are not realistic, organic and contribute anything to their relationship to move them forward. Staring at one another, tripping and falling, saying I love you are not real love scenes. Love of mature love is all about pushing the other to be the better versions of themselves. Instead of the love showing prerna in a different light we get the worst version of her.

Awesome post

I hope if the cvs is stalking this forum they see this, much need post and wake up call for cvs and ekta.

Kzk2 prerna sharma is embarrassing to women of 21st century. She is so blinded by love that she does not understand what self respect is. She is ruined oops I must say she has been ruined for a long time.

What does she have that can inspire a woman? No degree, no class, no self respect what’s so ever. She can only sleep with her bf that is what she is worth of other then that she is basically worthless.

Prerna 1 cannot ever be compared with this prerna 2. Never ever. This one can be bullied only by the so called mahan family and she loves to get insults every day. You cannot compare such characters with s1 of prerna who was classy.

i don’t watch the show after bajaj left I have no reasons to but one thing is for sure ekta has failed badly trying to create this prerna for the 21st century. She failed miserably.

Trashy drama of two jobless women fighting for a worthless man is so outdated and disgusting. It stinks! And such a despicable behaviour is labelled sassy? Tragic!

Women fighting against each other is the most sasta track that could be shown. That too, in the name of being sassy!!!!!

Don’t women have a life beyond a man? Why does the female protagonist of this show have to step in to SAVE a man and his family every damn time? Don’t they have the spine to help/protect themselves that they use a weakling as a shield?

Bang on! The house that’s been belittling her for the longest time. Seriously. Now, resorting to the decoration of marital bed.

How can one forcibly stay in a house where everyone loathes,humiliates, and constantly derides deceased kin? And as pointed out, what are the so-called rights? Toxic!

That’s what has been taught to women since times immemorial. This show just reaffirms that notion. Not that I have any form of high expectations from the show but still at least have the basic sensitivity!

This female lead is ITV’s worst offering…so is the so-called love saga.

Word to whatever you said!

Love is supposed to elevate. What happened here? Individuality and self-respect vanished like it never existed, the woman got impregnated after wedding promises and then abandoned, her father died, mother got humiliated and jailed, recently the house got burnt to ashes, and a lot more. And we are supposed to laud this epic love. LOL!

I just happened to watch a lot of clips from that time when she was getting engaged and was HUMILIATED till a point beyond repair! I would have expected any other female to just stomp her foot and stand up at least for her mother. But, sadly this woman has no ethics.

Does this female have a breaking point?

I am waiting for that point Shruuu. If it happens, I will cheer for her!

I have left the show the time Bajaj exit.

I did watch for sometime after the exit but couldn’t take it anymore. 🤪

Bt one thing is missing from starting I don't see anything in prena which 21st century girl should have.

Loving some one is ok but loving forgetting your self respect and your individuality is a big no

In updates I read she again went there at bb fine why she has to decorate the SS room for them is she a servant there she said no to sonalika cannot say no to mohini why correct me if I am wrong since I am not waching.

Apparently the excuse was that Anurag’s life and memory was in danger 🤣

This is basic thing and simple but respect comes from small things only if you don't respect yourself no one will do that for you. I wish they would have shown independent strong earning mother

I would have loved that Mithi! In fact, most of Ekta’s leads are very strongly independent in terms of financial status so much so that they help their parents too. This Prerna is just beyond me.

I don't understand why all ITV serials starts with marriage and ends I marriage everything. Is there no life without that.

I watch same production house charector in fitrat so gud schech of that strong independent girl was shown why you need a man to take care of you and make your wishes comes true you yourself can do it for yourself.

I watched Fitrat too and I loved it in terms of the character’s arc and independence. Anyway restricting the conversation as it’s against the rules but I really want to see some sort of independence in Prerna.


The whole ITV shows needs revolution in my thoughts 🤗

I agree! ITV has just become so redundant in terms of content. 🤗

Love empowers, it does not degrade. What degrades you can never be love, let alone divine love as the makers try to portray. The lead couples love has only degraded them as individual people and also negatively affected the people around them.

Word! And, Bravo for saying it out aloud...

The FL who was introduced as a bubbly and sweet belle has been reduced to a boring, selfish, cold and uni-dimensional character whose only purpose on the show is to glorify the ML. Her whole and sole existence is dependent on the ML. She is given trashy dialogues that she wants to be important to no one except the ML which is purely cringe-worthy. No individuality, no self worth, no self respect no nothing! The FL has no say in anything. She has no thoughts, likes, dislikes, dreams, aspirations, etc. She is just present to romance the ML and so what the ML wants her to do and when she does not do it, the ML harasses her until she complies. The FL is going through the worst phase of her life. She set out to earn a living and re-build her childhood home. But what do we see, again degradation of the character for cheap lollipop scenes under the garb of romance! She behaves like a bumbling-blushing teenager when touched by the ML. All thoughts of re-building lost home goes poof in air once the ML comes in the field of her vision. The FL is least bothered about the plight of her family and is busy romancing her married boss-cum-father of child in the office first and now at BB again, right in front of the legally wedded wife of the ML. The FL was more interested in earning browny points from her MIL that she turned a blind eye to the insults and taunts thrown at her mother, father and family in general. The FL was shown to prioritize her upcoming marriage to the ML to the extent that she allowed her mother to be harassed, insulted, bad mouthed, dragged to jail by soon-to-become MIL. A women of today will flay anyone who disrespects her parents! Here the FL was more interested in getting married than than worry about her parents reputation or plight! In real life, the girl would break the engagement and never look back such a relationship, soulmate or not! The worst of all, the FL is waiting for ML's memory to return so that they can re-kindle their love story (read adultery) with no consideration to the ML's wife. The FL does not know about Komo or the Pics. To her, Sona is the legal wife of ML and his savior as well. She did not for once show any form of gratitude to Sona for saving the ML. During her convo with Shivi, she indicated that she will be back in BB once the ML's memory returns, without sparing a thought towards Sona, the wife. How she would feel about all this! The FL appears to be waiting to once again take on the role of a home wrecker!

You have aptly summarised her journey. She is absolutely bland, boring and hell bent on inflicting self-misery.

The ML who was a sweet and shy Bengali babu has been reduced to an obsessive stalker and serial adulterer. He cheated on Mishka by sleeping with a hesitant and reluctant FL right after declaration of love and is now again cheating on Sonalika, who is his savior and legal wife. The ML has never ever respected her requests or inquired what she wants. If her wants match his, then they are fulfilled, else the ML imposes himself or his needs/wants/wishes on the FL. That included pressurizing the reluctant FL into sleeping with him while being engaged with another women. The ML has even slapped, molested, invaded her personal space, continuously harassed the FL in the name of love! The ML planned his own accident without sparing a thought towards his paralyzed father, mother and sister! The ML is now flirting and inappropriately touching his pregnant and married childhood friend whom he has not met since many years. I would like to know which childhood friend picks up their married and pregnant childhood friend, after meeting them again post many years? The FL was not so grievously hurt that she could not walk. He could have supported her and helped her walk. But no, directly pick her up. Then again touch her inappropriately in a dark and closed store room. A real world women would have slapped the ML for touching them like that in such circumstances but here all this allowed to pass under the garb of romance. The funny thing is despite having a sister, the ML does not seem to know how to behave and respect women and their wishes.

I haven’t watched some bits which you are mentioning, so I will take your description as a reflection of what goes on in the mind of a regular viewer. Picking a pregnant friend in arms and talking to the unborn child will be the most spooky thing done by someone who we call as a friend.

Mishti, your comment is elaborate and to the point. My problem is the complete ambiguous status of their relationship and justification of idiocy in the name of divine love.

This FL is useless. I haven't seen a worse written character in Indian Tele. There might be many I am sure, but I will definitely not watch even a single epi of those shows. I SO wish they hadn't called this rotten thing a reboot of KZK1.0 so that it won't bother me at all. I am so sorry for myself for seeing this version of Prerna. Ekta should come up with an apology to her original Prerna once they wind up this show. 😡

First of all, that meme is HILARIOUS 😂

Everytime Prerna is humiliated I feel like giving her a face palm 🤦‍♀️ moment.

Dudette, this is not how you are supposed to take shit. This REBOOT makes me feel that why was this garbage conceptualised in the first place!!! Blah to be precise.

general audience is evolving. Now woman are being shown in a more stronger light and role in tv and films. Some might say well this is how the character prerna is and might as well get used to it. But why? If people can get angry and trend on twitter about a fictional married couple why shouldn't we be angry about this? Which is more troublesome and disturbing in the show.

I completely agree with the evolution of television audience and in general as a society, we are talking about women and their rights. This show makes the FL look like a complete DIMWIT!!!

Modernity is mindfulness about your rights and aspirations. Durga, I have many a times strongly advocated an egalitarian society where both men and women should contribute financially, raise up children together, so household work together. I respect women who CHOSE to be caregivers but life is unpredictable and every human being-man or a woman should be a self-sufficient unit. That’s what egalitarian society is about. Prerna is anything but modern. Her dream was to become khaas of Anurag! What more could you expect? Does she really care about her child. I don’t think so!!!!
