From Tulasi Parvati
to Megha Anandi
( journey of Indian telly women )
I may be in 6th or
seventh standerd i used to watch sony and zee as only these two channels who
used to show some fantastic comedy and friction drama for everyone and them
came Andhi of telly called Tulasi the Idol bahu of of tv whom everyone
wanted in tr own home...kyoki was on air for many years had
many leaps she was first idol bahu from ekta kapoors Balaji tellyfilms
then follwed by Parvati idol patni then tr was kumkum, kusum ,prerna a whole
lot of them the gre8 Indian costume drama wr females used to cry with makeup
sleep with makeup and wakeup with makeup the trend was set and everyone was
following that same in same way with diffrent characters i
never connected with them bt romance that whole milna bichadna saga was visual
treat for eye even my brain hated that bt they become part of my evening
as i used to watched litil of everything which was on air ..ekta kapoor got the
pulse of indian house wifes who r main target audience and as every
mother wants to watched thr family members got used to even i did my only
problem was how can wife excepts her husband even if he has
extra marital affair and came back to normality i still
dont get that ....
Tulasi got big challenge from jassi
who become my fav after hiphiphurry bt after many episodes even jassi become
bahu biwi from independent women ...few yers bak when these shows wr
onair i never watced them continousely i used to watch only when promo showed
that female protagnist have stand for herself or slaped her husband
for nonsense ...in the competition of zee sony and star
plus colors gave some new colors to the tv suddeny tr was wakeup call for
everyone Idian telly heroin can be real and
reality can be accepted by viewers ..somehow that old saas bahu saags
got new dimensions .when i watced na anna is des lados few parts i
was so impresd by sia's character as she stand for
female foeticide and confronts ammaji in front of everyone that was
gutsy charecter ..i have watched balika vadhu from first episode and it takes
1000 episodes to have my fav sean when anandi slapped her husband in
front of his own family ..she just made mi happy that day ...i just love
when women stands for herself for her respect
Then their is women called Mrs. Megha
Vyaas ,widow with two children she just take my heart ,even i love mohan i just
love the way she stands for herself for her children ,she loves mohan
bt befour falling for mohan her character very clearly
said that she is strong enough to raise her two children on her own she dont
need a men in her life ...megha is strong independent who knows how to live
life on her own i never really noticed script or story writes name bt Sonal
Ganatra u have made me do that
in past tr have been
shows like hasrate who have shown diffrent dimensions of women ..i
dont like gopi bahu because she never stand for herself Indian women is
strong and have many beutiful shdes ... bt in the race of trp games she get
completely lossed and misguided change have been seen in resent past
with some gre8 strong telly heroin and on last note i relly wish mona will nt
axceps pradip when he ll came back to her
when u talk about womean she more than wife bahu beti she adds many
things to society I really wish in near future we ll get to see some strong
women characters....
