TV is not only a medium of entertainment but also a mirror of the society. When a sensitive issue is raised in a popular show, its echo reaches every home. These days, Star Plus’s famous serial ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’ is once again in the news. This time the reason is not some conspiracy or emotional twist, but an important issue on a serious issue like the safety of children. Smriti Irani, playing the character of Tulsi in the show, has tried to give a strong message by talking about issues like ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’.
Girl learns from Tulsi
There was a tragic incident in the recent episode, where the mental state of a girl after she was kidnapped was shown in a sensitive manner. In this difficult time, Tulsi talks lovingly to the girl. Instead of questioning him directly, she explains to him what is the difference between ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’. She also assures the girl that if something wrong happens to her, she does not need to remain silent. His voice is important and his safety is paramount. This scene made the audience emotional because it is not just a story but an issue related to many homes.
The show raises social issues
Smriti Irani also spoke openly on this subject and said that the return of the show is not just for entertainment but with the promise of talking openly on important social issues. Earlier too, topics like domestic violence, women’s economic independence and aging have been raised in the show. But it was most important to talk directly and clearly about the safety of children. It is not easy to show such stories. These make you uncomfortable, hurt your heart, but if they are not discussed then how will change come? As long as the audience is with them, they will not shy away from raising such issues. Let us tell you, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2’ airs every day at 10:30 pm on Star Plus.
