![]() Tejasswi Prakash (left) with Afaan Khan (right). “I just get my script, go on the set and I perform,” she claims, and that the show is “not trying to teach you anything.”Īgain: WHAT? Are you saying that as influencers of one of the widest pan-India audiences, artists do not have a certain ethical responsibility? Tejasswi Prakash claims she doesn’t visit a lot of social media websites and hence, is unaware of these comments. Anyone can claim that “there is nothing wrong” in what they have shown but, there’s a thing called sub-text that some people may be too blind to see. Why are we so worked up you ask? Well, ever since people have started watching the show, the justifications on behalf of the show’s theme of child marriage (and paedophilia) have shot up. And no, Tejasswi, we are not “judging a book by its cover.” By simply showing that the character isn’t a creepy sexual predator, does not make it acceptable. That level of sensitivity is unreservedly absent in Pehredaar Piya Ki. However, the show had always condemned it, making it look like the social evil that it is. There have been shows like Balika Vadhu too which also centred on the theme of child marriage. For it attempts to legitimise paedophilia in society through the medium of entertainment. And the depiction of their illegal actions in a rose-tinted, positive light is abhorrent, to say the least. They exist, unlike the ones in the fantasy drama Game of Thrones. The problem with Pehredaar Piya Ki remains that their characters are very real. ![]() The suhaag raat (wedding night) scene from Pehredaar Piya Ki. If we can use stories like GoT to justify actions of today then please, by all means… Bring out shows like Zee TV’s biographical drama Jhansi Ki Rani, which is based on the life of Rani Lakshmi Bai who marries a much older man named Gangadhar Rao in the 19th century! Much like Jhansi Ki Rani, Game of Thrones highlights the reality of an era it has been set in. Pehredaar Piya Ki, on the other hand, is not. WHAT? Game of Thrones is set in the medieval times plus it is listed as a fantasy drama. “ It also happened in ‘Game Of Thrones’… People love ‘Game Of Thrones’ and if same thing happens in ‘Pehredaar Piya Ki’, then it’s an issue,” she had said. In a recent interview the actress who plays the female protagonist, Tejasswi Prakash, blasted the “judgmental” haters as she drew a comparison between Pehredaar Piya Ki and Game of Thrones. These pehredaars of Pehredaar Piya Ki see it as a beautiful and pure love story and that is exactly the kind of thing that should not have happened. While the naysayers haven’t vanished now that the series has taken its course, there has been a new cult rising which argues a defense for the show. The series which outlines the life of Diya, an adult who is required to marry a 9-year-old boy named Ratan, has time and again been accused of glorifying child marriage and paedophilia- because it does. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, however, she was unable to keep the momentum going and Sakkari eventually reached her maiden WTA 1000 final.Pehredaar Piya Ki has been under fire ever since the first trailer of the show came out. Sakkari won the first set with ease but Badosa managed to get back on level terms in the second. She then defeated Leylah Fernandez to book a quarterfinal spot, before getting the better of Veronika Kudermetova to set up a showdown against Maria Sakkari in the semifinals. The Spaniard began her title defense on a strong note, with easy wins over Tereza Martincova and Sara Sorribes Tormo. ![]() ![]() She had defeated Victoria Azarenka in the 2021 final for the biggest win of her career. Paula Badosa, meanwhile, was on the hunt to defend her Indian Wells title in 2022. The Belarusian was leading by a set but Paolini mounted a strong comeback and registered the biggest win of her career, taking the encounter 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. After receiving a bye in the first round, she faced Jasmine Paolini in the second. Aryna Sabalenka had a disappointing showing at the BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells) in 2022. ![]()
