@Neerja: I agree completely. Times have changed and the reality is far far different from what is shown in the T.V.
However, these kind of things do happen in the Interior Villages where people are uneducated...so i guess T.V land is dishing out such soaps and intrestingly...people lap it up happily.
There are shows that portray changing woman...but for the prime time, melodrama sake, they usually opt for the tried and tested formula of Saas vs. Bahu...and kitchen politics.
Cant say abt CB2...but CB1 was different from the rest and didnt have the usual saas bahu fights and the DIL was never treated shabbily...except for the portion where Vaishali suddenly turned against Rads for some time...but then she was again given brains. Hehe. Other than that...PF was also seen to put up with an arrogant DIL like Vishaka...
