I love you and feeling shy factors:

Seeing 'I love you' said by a husband to his wife for years in regional TV serials, women especially housewives find funny and unrealistic. Many times in these serials husbands are seen to say 'I Love You' to their wives for several years. Many housewives in India when come together socially talk about this 'I love you' sentence used by an actor (husband) to the actress (wife). Housewives usually laugh about it and discuss such things positively as well as negatively. Let's look at the following stuff shown in the TV serial: A rich woman gets married into a wealthy family.

The marriage has been arranged by parents as India is well known for its arranged marriage system since ancient times. She comes from a city and after marriage resides with her husband with his family in a city a little far from her hometown. The woman comes in the family. She loves her husband and family. She is educated, smart, beautiful and understanding. Before marriage she is shown bold, outspoken and very intelligent but after marriage the same woman becomes humble, less intelligent, fearful and blind believer about many things. Her rich husband says 'I love you' to her on the first day of their wedding night. The wife feels shy as usual because of her first encounter with her husband. Then almost at every occasion he tells her that, six months are passed and again the same sentence, she feels shy still. A year later, she delivers a baby girl. After the arrival of the baby, 3 months later, one day the husband comes in the bedroom, the baby is sleeping in a cradle. The wife is happy and busy in arranging clothes. He slowly comes forward, takes his busy wife close to him and says 'I love you'. The wife feels shy again and in that emotion of shyness she promptly leaves the room. That means as her husband touches her and takes her close in his arms she leaves the room in shyness speaking something to him such as 'Oh dear, what is this? Someone might see us together." (These two are the most commonly and frequently used dialogs in Indian TV Desi Serials). As she leaves the room her hubby stands still in wonder but he feels too good seeing his wife's shyness about every emotion of love expressed.
