Pehredaar Piya Ki

Hello readers, 

Here is my views on online discussion:

 'Pehredaar Piya Ki' Progressive or Regressive ?

                  Pehredaar Piya Ki is a television show that revolves around the relationship between a nine-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman. The woman is not only the boy, Ratan Singh’s bodyguard, but also his wife.  The serial had been accused of making the child stalk the grown-up woman and more recently it featured a “suhaag raat (wedding night)” sequence. It would seem like there really is no rock bottom for soap operas in India.

↠ Angry viewers had started a petition, addressed to Smriti Irani, Union minister of information and broadcasting, to get Pehredaar Piya Ki off air. More than 71,246 people had expressed their approval over the show’s removal from television.

↠ Not just viewers, the show had received criticism from within the industry as well. Apart from child marriage evil or romantic engel which had shown, i think people should  also start accept the truth that men can be protected by women. The patriarchal  structure which has its deep roots in every Indian's mind, especially men, that only a men should be a protector of a girl or woman needs to change.

Now the cast and crew of this serial is coming back with the same concept but, with adult couple instead of minor-adult.
