A thought on Anandi!!

Anandi is portraying a village girl from rural Rajasthan. I doubt if she has access to any of the things we city folks do, I have seen little children of the people who work in people's houses in India and they are extremely innocent. They have very less exposure, atleast now on account of TV it is better but where there is no TV it is exactly the way Anandi is portrayed. Rural Rajasthan is a lot different. The experience is very different when u are married off at the tender age of 10 or 12 years. Most of the unwanted pregnancies happen because of lack of knowledge and exposure as well. You really have to visit rural Rajasthan to experience it. Other rural areas especially in Southern India or Maharashtra are different because other social factors, gram panchayats have a say there. In Rajasthan all this does not work when it comes to customs and traditions.

Hey guys,

I just recently started watching the show, so i was catching up, i read the abisheik episode, in that episode it was revealed that anandi is 12, Jagya is 13 and Sugna is 15. Can I just say that she does not act 12 at all, plz dont get me wrong, i mean sometimes she asks questions, which frankly every other 12 year girl would know, but she wouldn't. I know she is really innocent, but sometimes it kinda gets annoying as she acts like a young kid. Dont get me wrong, i am not saying that a 12 year old is not a kid, but a 12 year old behaves, lets say, to an 8 year old. Wat say??
