Roop

The show questions all gender stereotypes, why do we assume that all boys who are sensitive, caring, affectionate, respecting and understanding women, are regarded as unmanly? This show shatters these myths and propagates the thought that if parents make their sons more sensitive and bring their sons up with more care and instil respect towards women at a young age, a lot of issues in our society will get sorted & a change will happen.

Story of a meek boy, Roop, born after three girls in a patriarchal family. Despite being raised by a strict male chauvinist father, who wanted him to become a strong “darogah” like him, Roop grows up having a flair and inclination towards the stereotypical feminine skills like stitching, cooking etc. disappointing the father and facing his angst for being soft-hearted. Even his childhood friend faces a typical confusion on whom to marry - A Macho or A Soft-hearted Man? The story spirals when the girl chooses Roop over his male chauvinist cousin to marry is when Roop is faced by strong opposition from all the men in his family. Will Roop be able to break the gender stereotypes; and change the mentality of his family and the society that men can also be soft-hearted, sensitive and respectful towards women?
