Asianet — Serial Ammayariyathe and its sexist remarks

This serial started out as a brave strong woman who is back for revenge and actually has a purpose other than serving husband's wishes like in other serials. So I was hopeful about this. But now they are showing that the sister of the main character, named Aparna has been married off to someone without her consent because her parents didn't care enough to even check much on the person who was initially going to marry her, who turned out to be a murderer. And mind you, Aparna is just 20. Still studying and not even mature enough to be married. After this incident, Aparna's reaction can be absolutely justified because she is shocked. But here, the guy Aparna finally married, is shown as a weakling who is not "manly enough" just because he focuses on his studies and is actually patient with Aparna understanding her situation. And his friend, who constantly mocks him and asks him to force Aparna to do what he wants or just go and fight with her and her family is shown as the "man" here. So is the serial proposing that a man be an emotionally unstable person who should even take violent measures to get what he wants? Is being immature and violent manly? More than just showing this in the serial, they idealise these concepts of toxic masculinity so much, which is going to create the problem since the younger generation is going to accept and absorb this information as right. Being entertainment producing company, they should be responsible enough to understand that media plays an extremely important role in shaping society's views. Having such important responsibilities, they cannot be allowed to spew whatever that comes into their mind. They should be mindful of the content they are putting out.
So I kindly request the company to see and understand this situation and take appropriate action against such unethical ideas from being injected into people's minds.
