A fairness cream being rebranded as ‘glow and lovely’ instead of being taken off the market speaks to the fact that we may never get over our preference for a fair complexion. The recent controversy over a Tanishq ad being forced to go off air is a glaring reminder of our continuing religious divide. Why does this woman need – A) A man to save her and B) marriage to improve her lot in life? At what point are we going to stop creating these women with Cinderella syndrome who are just waiting to be rescued or emancipated through matrimony?īut while we can criticise and laugh at content on television, this seeming stagnation in content is also reflective of a society that has been unable to overcome its biases and regressive attitudes. The second season of the show is here, and according to the promos, the male employer takes his female domestic worker’s haath (hand in marriage) to give her saath (support). Is that really the only reason women are seeking employment or demanding equal pay and opportunities for decades now? Because they raised shitty kids? Or take the case of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya which inspired several cooker and chana related memes recently.
On the brand-new fiction show Shaadi Mubarak, a woman declares proudly she is a housewife, only to add that she didn’t need to work because she was respected by her kids for being a homemaker. Yet he has been brought back because good looking sexist bad boy means great ratings. “I used to repeatedly tell her that she is my girlfriend, but my mom was just not ready to accept that hua chokra jawaan re (the boy has come of age).” Is it just me or did anyone else have a déjà vu to Hardik Pandya’s infamous comments on Koffee with Karan? This is the same Siddharth who had last season called his fellow contestants naukrani (maid), and even shamed Rashami Desai by saying none of the women in his family were like her. 💗SidNaaz Is Emotion💗 October 10, 2020Ī few days ago, actors Sidharth Shukla and Gauahar Khan, who are ‘Toofani Seniors’ on Bigg Boss 14, were heard discussing how his mother went into denial when he told her about his girlfriend. “Hua Chhokra Jwaan Re” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #SidharthShukla /hCvIWB11m4 Sid Telling About His Mom’s Reaction When He Revealed About His First Girlfriend.😂
Yet the show is back for the 14th season, and the same tropes of toxic masculinity, aggression and passive harassment continue to play out, singlehandedly dragging the IQ of audiences lower each day. To be fair this is an international format that has been recreated now in hundreds of languages around the world, but in India, it has always seen multiple instances of physical assault, body shaming, slut-shaming and even threats like #Metoo kar dungi (I’ll put a #Metoo accusation against you) which reduced a powerful global movement to threatening a guy with a possibly false charge of sexual assault. Take the new season of Bigg Boss for example.
