Pakistan Women Addicted To TV Soaps Suffer From Psychological Problems
TV soaps, like Kyon Key Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Koi Apna Sa, Saans, Sanskriti, Shagun, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Desh Mein Nikla HoGa Chand, have been so popular among Pakistani women that girls, housewives and elderly women alike are virtually addicted to them.
Women, who are mostly confined to their homes, keep waiting for them, and when they are on air, abandon work, glue to the screens and won't like to be disturbed. In fact, the lengthy episodes are followed by detailed discussions on storyline, characters, dresses and speculative talk on what will happen next.
"Soap operas are very close to life and help women understand their problems, especially after marriage, and how to handle them. I've little time to watch TV, as I spend a lot of time out due to job but I never miss them," The Daily Times quoted Salima Khan, a schoolteacher, as saying.
For her, the soaps offer some very thought-provoking messages besides entertainment, and women could easily associate themselves with the soap characters for their being present around them.
But, taking a close look will reveal that mostly the episodes show a woman's victimization by another woman or women. Woman is shown making compromises and sacrifices for the family instead of rejecting injustices, both by in-laws and husband. And even she defies, she forgets the injustice done to her soon and patches up with the rivals.

It is actually very true that the message these women oriented serials giving is unhealthy. They glorify the women's age old practice of being silent victims of oppression, tyranny and injustice. There has been dearth of tv serials like udaan, rajni etc which taught women to voice their thoughts, stand against iniquity and think of life outside the walls of their houses. |
