However, the good thing is that Apu is the heroine who wins in life despite society having issues with her nature. This is supposed to make the audience see her as more virtuous.Īpu’s sister Supu, in fact, is like a foil to Apu’s feisty personality because she shrinks herself. Submissive and repressed women who are under-confident, like Shyama from Krishnakoli and Supu from Aparajita Apu, are the "good women.” Shyama wears a ghunghat all the time, and constantly undersells herself. Shyama in ‘Krishnakoli’ and Supu in ‘Aparajita Apu’ are proof that such shows paint timid women in a better light than they do spunky women So, here’s my review of such serials, as someone who doesn’t even watch Hindi shows and is worried about Bangla content mimicking the style of Ekta Kapoor’s K-serials. Watching Bangla daily soaps like Krishnakoli, Aparajita Apu, Jibon Saathi, and Mithai with my mother shed a lot of light on the direction Bengali television is headed in.
