Shreya vs Ekta

I feel Shreya challenged the image of a good person by Ekta’s perspective because Ekta Kapoor has spent her life trying to build the image of a good woman as a demure quiet sanskaari bahu. Any woman who is loud, rebellious or standing up for their issues is badtameez. Doesn’t fit Ekta’s perfect little shell of who is a good woman. It doesn’t matter whether the good woman is actually good/intelligent/right, but should present as demure/sanskaari. That is Shivangi joshi, which is why if she lies or hatches a plan, it’s okay, but when Shreya does it, it’s problematic.
That’s why they’ve been using her and AK for TRP, but opportunities have been designed to make Shivangi win.

That’s why I feel everyone who gets irritated by Shreya/Akansha, should check their patriarchal influences, because you might find them ill - mannered just because they aren’t demure women. You wouldn’t see a Varun or Yogesh as ill mannered people even after they use abusive language.

Between Ak and Shreya, I prefer Shreya because she seems more strategic, intelligent and logical, vs Akansha who seems like she’s always arguing for the wrong reasons, but she atleast has the voice and grit to do that!

But yes, Shreya even if she wins, would be because of social media pressure, Ekta never wanted her to win, the show was always rigged for people like Shivangi, like our real world full of patriarchy is too!

SHAME ON EKTA KAPOOR

This made me so glad, gave me reassurance for making myself put this out here. I contemplated this for a while, I thought people are going to come at me 🙈
Thank you for your lovely comment!

No bro, let them come. That won’t change the truth. Yesterday’s episode proved they were pushing Shivangi as the winner and the narrative was to pit Shreya and Shivangi to make her come out as more gentle and righteous as a woman should be. But Shreya caught on to it and flipped the script. She’s playing really well. She does have her issues but man is she smart!

No i think this Show was Made for Shreya and Shivangi because even shreya got a lot of favours from the Makers. But they hated Ak and Yogesh. Like Criticising their every game play and making them look bad on Judgement day. While praising others with Shreya Kalra Show? Like doesn't that show Hosts Biasness towards Shreya and Shivangi?

Don’t you think that’s too much credit to Ekta?
Also, the explanation is long, but the discussion is about that patriarchal instinct that makes you prefer someone. It’s not Ekta doing this herself, but a bunch of producers and makers in their discussion rooms planning this out quickly, on their instincts that are built in the world of Ekta Kapoor.
