People always blamed the makers for glorifying domestic violence in the show.But the last 2 episodes proved to be an eye opener to all the women.Whether it was Ananya's speech yesterday or viraj's speech today,the makers clearly gave the message as to why they made this show.
I haven't seen the episode as yet, but even w/o that, I actually disagree w/ this. Aside from the fact that the PH did change b4 HC's & SJ's exits from the show, the PH - the previous one - was too caught up in the TRP numbers of both KVB & HC and lost sight of showing the evolution of Jhanvi from a battered wife to a woman seeking refuge and a life after. People - talking about those who need TV to influence them - are not going to be moved by a monolog by either Ananya or Viraj: they will see how Viraj was Mr God in this serial and how he always won except when he no longer cared to, as in the last 2 episodes, and they will conclude that there is no point in trying to escape a life of abuse.
And even this new PH - in Wednesday's episode, when Ananya was taunting Viraj, she explained why women of previous eras used to commit Sati - stating that their husbands were people who'd do everything for them. To praise a PH that says something as inane as this is really buying whatever bridge they sell us.
This serial really tried to create itself as one w/ a social message, and completely lost it in the way due to their obsession w/ both KVB and HC. KVB by keeping him in long after his essential role - as an abusive husband was over, and HC, by pulling him in long b4 Jhanvi had managed to put Viraj in his place (which never happened). It also lacks credibility in that when Viraj was first arrested and Jhanvi gave her major bhashan about society, Viraj was unmoved, but now, after she's been cremated, Viraj broke down and surrendered completely? How did Ananya have more of an effect on him than Jhanvi? This one didn't make sense.
Anyway, the new PH did the best it could to fix the damage that the outgoing PH left behind.
