Why are the male protagonists portrayed as weaklings in Ajai Sinha's serials?  It is good to make women-oriented series but do all his men have to be so weak and pathetic?

I am talking about Harsh Chhaya and Savi's husband in Hasratein. They were both very weak in their own way.

Harsh Chhaya and Pallavi Joshi's brother in Justjoo. These two men were very weak spineless characters too.

And Abhi in Astitva....

 that's true.Even Manas to some extent.

     Though I feel Harsh Chayya in Justjoo and Abhi in Astitva are the worst example.

Yes

I forgot about Abhi Joshi. :-)

Aloknath, Abhi 1 and abhi 2in astitva, Harsh chayya in Justjoo and hasratein all indulged in extra-marital. I am beginning if Ajai Sinha is justifying extra-marital affairs by projecting these men as weak.

manas and riya sen can be explained as Manas and urmila's marriage had already broken up.

I too agree with all your statements.... Saurabh, Abhi1, Abhi2, Manas are shown to have an extra-marital relationship.....Ajay does not show one such male who is very loyal to his wife.....Alas!!!!😡 This is not the case everywhere😒

He also seems to say a woman can be strong only if she goes through adversity like a straying husband, kidnapped child and so on.
