Desi TV, Time to Let the Aunties Slay Too!


Come on, Desi TV and all you saas-bahu factories — it’s 2026, not 1996! We’re still watching  Sab TV Med drama, Hui Gumm Yaadien scenes where the “strong CEO bahu” (shoutout Gulki Joshi’s boss lady) is shown as this single, dignified, emotionally-constipated queen years after divorce, while her ex-husband (Iqbal Khan ) is happily doing “second innings” with a much younger, senior resident doctor.Bhai, yeh kya double standard hai? Man gets to rebuild his love life with jazz music, candlelight dinners and younger arm candy, but the woman? Bas “main toh ab sirf apne beta aur business ke liye ji rahi hoon” wala sad violin music on loop. Arre didi, aap bhi toh deserve a hot second chapter!Imagine the TRP explosion if Gulki Joshi’s character finally gets a charming, younger, witty guy who makes her blush in the conference room. Let her wear that red saree, drink wine, and have butterflies again without the entire mohalla judging her. Women too need that “second dig at happiness” — messy, fun, and unapologetic.Stop treating female characters like expired milk after one failed marriage. Let them date, flirt, make mistakes, and glow up. The same audience that cheers for the hero’s new romance will cheer louder when the heroine gets her main character glow-up love story.Desi TV, give us women who heal, move on, and get properly raas-leela’d in season 2. We’re ready. The aunties are ready. The TRPs are waiting.Chalo, ab thoda equality ka masala daal do!
