But regarding the characters of women portrayed in tele serials or any average movies or ads, I feel like puking. Either they are extremely helpless characters or extremely evil. Judging by them, people generalize women.
Thanks for coming up with this post. :)

This is interesting to know Pradip. Thank you. I too have observed, how ladies love the serials with cruel scenes you are talking about. They are bored with their routine that they need these kinds of subjects for entertainment.

I happen to be paid script writer and I occasionally make sample surveys and also overhear the discussions on the serials. Most of the viewers are not from Joint families but they like the cruel scenes very much. The ladies that are shown in TV serials are far from reality but yet viewers like them very much.

Yes…absolutely. We need more rational act from celebrities and actors as they have the ability to influence people and the society more easily than anyone else.

I agree with what you said Shweta. Even I want to hit the gym when I see someone in shape. Oh… it’s a huge inspiration. And about my 7-year-old niece, we would love to have a fashionista at home and if wants to take that as a career, the family and me are more than happy to encourage her but the way she perceives and understands the concepts of beauty and personality is different. I understand she is very young and needs time to evolve. She is so much concerned about her skin tone that once it came up in a conversation and she pointed out saying “I can’t be beautiful because of my skin tone.” And hearing that from a 7-year-old kid was shocking.
I am not blaming the media here. It teaches us so many better things for our improvement. Maybe the amount of positivity is overshadowed by the amount of negativity. It’s just that the portrayal of women as the mark of perfection in physical appearance tends to feed these disturbing thoughts in the minds of little ones.

Thank you Moon Roy for sharing your thoughts. That’s so true. This reminds me of Kangana Ranaut. She was offered a huge amount for endorsing a fairness cream and she denied the offer saying she was there to set better messages to the society and doing an endorsement for fairness cream was an absolute no. It feels so good when people like her take up such responsibilities.

I also do not find a major wrong in a 7 year old knowing more about make up, it could be her area of interest and she could grow up to be a fashionista. Would we stop a 7 year old who likes playing tennis, or dance or try different hair styles? Her usage of products can be controlled but not her interests. Well its my personal take…the post is very nice.

Women are shown like commodities, especially when we see ads of beauty products such as Fair and Lovely and others. A woman’s worth is still measured in terms of look and superficial beauty in our society. That needs to be changed. This change of perspective can also help mitigating atrocities and negative behaviour against women.
