More illegal portrayals

After already showing ApMaAn to try to initiate adoption before completing 2 years of stable marriage, now makers are promoting yet another malpractice just to show how Mahaan the couple is.

Please refer to the latest copy of adoption regulations on CARA website which clearly specifies that parents interested in adopting a child cannot make any donations to the adoption agency.

https://cara.nic.in/PDF/adoption%20regulations%202022%20english_27.pdf

The Schedule XXIII Signed by the agency when the child is put into foster care for the parents to be considered for adoption clearly states,

That I commit myself not to receive any donation in any form from the adoptive parents or their relatives or through their sponsoring agency during the adoption process or after completion of the adoption process.

This is done to avoid conflict of interest because monetary benefit may influence the decision of adoption agency to benefit parents unfit for adoption.

If the Mahaanta is so desperately oozing out, they should find a different adoption agency and sponsor kids there.

If this activity is reported, it leads to the couple convicted for bribery and the agency suspended or debarred from working. This Abhay really needs an audit done on him.

And while you are at it, there are a plethora of other consent forms that a surviving biological parent needs to sign and they can revoke their consent anytime from start of foster care till finalization of adoption. To challenge a biological parent's claim, it needs to be proven that the parent is physically or mentally harmful for the child, else in any case in any country, the biological parent has the first claim.

My question is, why make a joke of the legal system, just to create drama on the show??

• They could have easily shown only Anupamaa applying for adoption which would have still been legal but then how will Anuj be shown to be obsessed with CA.
• They could have shown a boy adopted by Anuj but then how will he grow up to be another Shah maid after a leap? It's very important to be a girl.
• Lastly, they could've done without introducing a bio mother, but then how will they prove that MAA is besht Devki and also besht Yashoda and nobody can contest that, probably not even the real Devki or Yashoda.

Conversely, please watch the show Mentalhood on Zee5 app, where a biological mother comes to harass the adoptive mother for money but is prohibited by the police because she had already signed relinquishment papers. Much more accurate portrayal of how adoptive parents struggle to establish a normal relationship with a child like a biological parent-kid relationship.

Thank you, honestly despite how perfect MaaN are they have no rights on the child, while the Bio mother wants her child.

Plus legal system is made a joke. What can you expect from a show, that does not even spend money on sets to actually hire consultants for such topics. I do not blame writers as much, since they cannot know everything but the lack of planning in the tracks is ridiculous 😒

Kudos to you for doing all the hard work and providing these details.👏

But we all know itv doesn't believe in right portrayal of things it believes in dramatic portrayal of things. And whether we like it or not, somethings are not going to change anytime soon on itv.

They made the mockery of whole justice process during molestation track. People who have seen Delhi crime season 1 knows how system works. Then after it when we see anupama, its just laughable stock. They have mocked whole police, law n order, jusdicial system everything. Its very dangerous what they have shown in the name of entertainment.

There is another show on sitara which has made mockery of surrogacy procedure. People have also made complaints against it but no step has been taken.

I guess the disclaimer these shows gives at the starting of each episode, saves them from all these legal troubles.

The problem is ph is getting money from show, they won't sacrifice it for the sake of authenticity. Most of the complaints are made on Ibfc or whatever is the agency's name. It compromises of some of the seniors from itv i guess. I dont think it has law experts.

I think if complaint is made on serious platform like commission for women, highcourt etc. then some serious action may be taken but then who will make this complaint. As a viewer we can only rant on sm. We dont have free time, money to waste it over a stupid show. And if someone made complaint also then till when he/she will fight leaving all their work. these ph have expensive lawyers, we cant fight against them for long, right?

The only and only way to teach them a lesson is stop watching their show. Create a huge trend against them on sm and generate common will then start hastags like #noanupamaforaweek.

The show which is getting a trp of 3 when suddenly drop to 0 or if not zero then atleast there will be a drastic drop in it only then makers will realise their mistakes.

But is this gonna happen? No. Because no matter how much we cry here about this shit show. We wont stop watching it. We all get cheap entertainment through this and we are addicted to it.

So, dont trouble yourself by going in the details of all this. Just enjoy the drama. If its getting too much then take a break from it or leave it altogether.

The problem is we give too much importance to it. There are real things in life, focus your creative energy there, a place where you can really make some change.

TVpur ki duniya mein logic nhi hota, or usme dhundna bhi bewakoofi hai, leave Maan apart , do orphanage r hostel or shelter Homes where ek dukhiyari mother can leave a child , when a child get adopted return with a swag , tell rs 2 sympathy story but use d child a pawn to get close to her foster father. Do she had legal bond with orphanage that she is leaving her kid for this much year , she can not be given for adoption? Anupama devki or yasoda se to comparison nhi karungi but maaya is not less than demoness putna for me like she stole CA in precap . Which country law give permission to biological mother to leave their kids in orphanage?

I agree with your entire post in it's fundamental sense but I have a different perspective to offer here. Viewers of the show come from all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. Let me give an example to illustrate.

I have always been a silent reader on the forum for every show i watched and for this one as well. Before I started commenting, I'd read the forum nevertheless, relate with what people wrote and sometimes speak to a few other people who watch it as well, none of whom are active on social media wrt the show or know of India forums. But the points from here were always appreciated unlike the general perception which exists that everyone is an Anupamaa/Maan stan. I have seen many posters here share similar experiences of their conversations with family, friends, helps etc regarding this.

I have no doubt that this show is watched by a wide variety of viewers. For a lot of them, this could be one source of timepass or a way to channelise creativity like people do here. The deliberation and analysis on issues also works as an outlet similar to fanfiction/edits if one is a thinker and aware. And not everything has to be seen from it's end goal.

I remember the discussion over the gadthuthi scene and it's implications. When the show butchers these serious issues, each little point deliberated on helps in a more informed viewpoint for some and while you may say it's completely insignificant in the grand scheme of things, widespread change is rarely effected in the world. That doesn't mean we stop thinking or trying at our own level.

This exactly is the charm of the forum...it accommodates so many different perspectives, all which have substance and depth from individual perspectives...and in precisely these interactions, new things can be learnt.

I appreciated the honesty of the original poster and I appreciate the conviction and clarity in your thoughts.

I understand your pov and we have every right to discuss about problematic things shown in serial but what we will get out of it while just discussing among ourselves? Just bp hike, tension, increased frustration etc.

The thing is our discussions are not going to bring any change to the show. So why to waste time?

The people who can differentiate between reel and real, who come here to discuss issues, who are aware of IF, are educated,woke and aware already and we know whatever bullshit is shown in the name of gadturhi, surrogacy, adoption, molestation etc. doesn't work like that in real life.

The people who are not that aware are not part of this forum. The uneducated, unaware public dont come on IF either so that they will get aware after reading our comments.

IF is good for venting out frustration, fun, chitchatting. it doesn't make any changes in society. If we want our voice to reach makers or general public at large then as I mentioned earlier we should use appropriate platforms for it.

If there are people caught in a vicious cycle of watching this show, feeling a huge amount of frustration on how they are getting everything wrong, using this forum as an outlet - and it's affecting their mental health badly...and then they're going back to watching it again...then I'd definitely suggest the things you're suggesting...

But there might be people who comes from more detached perspectives. I do know I'm learning stuff just reading different perspectives...but definitely a valid point you've raised and something I've wondered sometimes seeing the sheer mismatch between the critical thought here and the show itself.

I get what you are saying that it should not affect people at an individual level because this show is beyond redemption. But detachment is gradual and everyone is at different stages. There may be some who simply don't care by now, there may be some who get frustruated and some who are still clinging on to hope. Everyone can devise their own solutions at points in time. Some may simply not watch or read.

@bold 1 - I don't see it as a waste of time solely because it does not impact the show. The discussion about serious issues may also be seen as finding out different points of view and relating to others using the show as a base and not restricted to the confines of the source. I do believe there is enough scope for discussion about a range of issues without it taking away from the fun and banter. People write down humorous thoughts or romantic FFs, make edits and post scenarios all towards the need of interaction and this in the same spirit as those.

@bold 2 - I have to disagree slightly. Many people read without commenting like I used to earlier. The views tab on each post cannot be solely because of the active members of the forum. And my core point was about change at the micro level. Even few individuals reading and learning more is benificial imo. And no, this doesn't mean I'm taking the show or the forum too seriously. But some of the information given and opinions by people having experience is certainly essential in shaping the views of a reader who in turn may impact others she is in touch with.

I understand the makers/channel will not care about our rantings here. I don't think that should constrain discussion but let me not stretch this too much. To use a much worn out phrase, Let's agree to disagree 👍🏼

First of all If orphanage knows a child's parent is alive then they will inform the adopting parents of the same. Biological parents will be informed too if orphanage is giving their child for fostering.

Also biological parents would already communicate orphanage why they r unable to keep their child with them presently n will surely come back to take them.

These ppl just added biological parent 's character hence there is no point in thinking about adoption procedure being followed or not because CA would not have been eligible for adoption itself.
