Anupamaa is one of the biggest success stories on TV in recent times. On the show, Rupali Ganguly who plays a housewife struggles to find her own identity after discovering that her husband, Vanraj (Sudhanshu Pandey) has been cheating on her since a long time. Of late, there are very few shows based on the concept of extra-marital relationships. Actor Ajay Chaudhary who has done shows like Kumkum and Tenali Rama has slammed Anupamaa in a recent interview. He has said that the show might be getting TRPs and making a lot of money but it does not send across the right message.
He told SpotboyE, "I got to know Anupamaa is getting good TRP's but it's very sad actually that this kind of content is getting highest numbers here. My mother and my wife also watch this serial and are kind of hooked to it. My wife is also from the same industry. In fact, my five-year-old daughter also used to watch this show initially but I have stopped it completely now as all this extra marital affair drama which they are showing I don't feel its her age to see all this. I don't understand one thing that we keep saying it's young India, so is generation ko hum kya sikhana chah rahe hain, kya dikhana chah rahe hain, mujhe samajh mein nahi aata hai. I feel there is a lot of content which we should actually make for today's generation which can help them to learn about our values, traditions and customs of our country. And if we don't do it now then our future generations will not know what exactly we are?"
He further slammed the show saying that such kind of content might be fine for online platforms but should not be shown on Indian TV. He told the portal, "I don't understand just to make money, why are makers and channels showing such things? By saying it's inspired from real life, you can give any reason to call yourself correct but ogo ki life mein to bahut kuch hota hai, you can't show everything on TV. Television is a medium which is seen by all sorts of people with every age group. If they want to show such content then they should do it on OTT. I also watch Netflix where there is such content because it can be accessed individually."
Ajay said, "When television was started the reason behind it was the entire family could sit together and entertain themselves. But if they are showing content which we are not comfortable watching with our kids or we feel its not giving out a right message, so we are not justifying the platform." Fans will remember that even Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka faced huge flak for showing a married man's attraction for another woman.
