It seems you are related to the production/ writing unit of the show. My point is not to argue but provide constructive criticism.
The matter is not about portraying a betrayal as something acceptable or forgivable. If one year down the road it is shown that Amrita had a life threatening disease , had a short time to live and her dream was to get married and Sampooran married her only so she could fulfill her dream before she died, it does not make his action less stupid. But showing Ratan turning evil isn't a start move either. Hillary Clinton stayed in her marriage and moved on. People just make the best they can of a bad situation. Especially if eventually you will show that girl will be able to win ratan's heart.
Whether you like it or not TV shows do influence people's perception. We emulate what we see. When you show a young boy asking for milk for his sister and a village lady throwing the glass away, what humanity are you portraying ?Isn't this showing that it is ok to mute your social consciousness? By contrast in the book Pinjar, the story takes place in 1947, a child born of rape is adopted and brought up by a family.
Behaviors in villages and cities are not that different we all gossip on our neighbors, colleagues but whether we let these opinions enter our houses is up to us.
In any house hold when a major crisis happen the first think people do is explain what is going on.
The portrayal of village life isn't realistic either. A panchayat is a council or 5 or more people. The sarpanch is not the sole decision maker. He gives a decision if the council cannot reach a consensus. People accept the decision and don't go complaining about it if the decision wasn't in their favor. In what village are women decked up with make-up and jewelry for their day to day wife? Sampooran's turban is tied in patan style, the story takes place in a Punjabi village, the protagonists have sikh names but then then don't have turbans, the wives are wearing sindoor and mangalsutra.
Isn't this insulting the viewers' intelligence?
This show reminds be of Diya aur baati that was promoted as a husband encouraging his wife's education. I just watched it recently again after a year and still the girl isn't studying? And they have the same track of promoting lies , stealing, and above all the mother obtuse mind.
Most sucessful shows , mine is sasural genda phool, are those that portray reality but wiht a positive twist. Why would anyone want to tune in to see ugliness when they can just step out of their door to experience it?
