Over the years, Indian television serials have come a long way in their portrayal of motherhood. They have moved beyond the traditional stereotypes of self-sacrificing and submissive mothers, depicting them in a more progressive and inspiring light. Today, we take a look at some of the shows that are advocating this message.
1) Anupamaa
`Anupamaa` on Star Plus has recently explored the challenges and joys of foster care through the eyes of Anupamaa and Anuj, who take in a child named Choti Anu into their home. The show beautifully highlights the importance of nurturing and providing a loving home for children in need, while also shedding light on the complexities of caring for a child who has faced neglect and mistreatment.
