Second thoughts about Teepri !!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know wheather Teepri's entry has boosted the TRP's of the show or not, one thing is sure that it has made our forum a little more active. I was just thinking that most of us including me believed that Teepri track doesn't go down well with the theme of the show that is "child marriage". But, somehow I feel now that in a way it could be related. There could be a point why Teepri is like this? I'm really having second thoughts about Teepri.

Traditions always influence people and their thinking and vice- versa. So, when in a society, where child- marriage is so prevalent, it's hard to imagine that the kids especially girls could think of studying or anything else other than marriage (Anandi is exceptional and lucky to have got parents, teachers and above all in- laws who supported her education). Because they are married off at quite a young age.

Remember Sugna in early episodes, all she could think was to go to her Saasra b'coz that's where she was supposed to live at that age. She has even mentioned it to Shyam as well that all she wanted to do in her life was to take care of her In- Laws. Pratap used to mention it all the time that guys of his age in village have become fathers and he was still waiting for his Gauna. Even Phooli at time of Anandi's wedding was shown to be well versed with the rituals and customs followed by a DIL at her Saasra.

My point is that, when children see a particular tradition being followed in their society, most of them tend to abide by it and they get used to it. That's how a tradition is kept alive. So, when Dadisa suggested that Teepri would be Bhairon's beendni, it was all but natural for her to see herself as his wife and all. She was supposed to take care of him. So, in a way Bhairon was like first love which she was not able to get over. As we have seen with Sugna also, despite the love and care of Shyam, she is not able to get over Pratap completely ( though with their baby around, it's slightly different situation for sugna). And not everyone is lucky to have a loving and understanding husband like Shyam. So, it may not be easy for Teepri to have a blissful married life. So, after she met Dadisa and family, it was obvious for her to think that all of it could have belonged to her. A troubled married life, a good life that could have been her's , all these things can really get the better of anyone and can blur his or her vision and thinking. All they want to do is to get the things back which were taken away from them at any cost and really make their mental condition unstable.

Therefore, now I'm really looking forward to this track as how they deal with this situation, and hope they find some rational solution to the problem rather than showing her getting married off to Bhairon ( Quite a long post people, hope u enjoyed reading it, plzzz do comment on it ) Waiting 4 ur replies. 😉😉😉😉

So true she certainly has members of this forum all fired up 😆 -lots of fireworks in sumitra vs teepri thread..
Agree with you on lots of points you mentioned..
Women blindly follow so many tradions, rarely are there anandis who question everything -they just are totally brainwashed almost from the cradle-- marriage is the end all & be all for they know not of the equal opurtunities that exist in the 21st century for women,-that is the reason womens education is discouraged, that is why womens resevation bill is opposed by laloos and mulayams😡 .uneducated women will blindly follow dictats of the male dominated society
Agree on suguna too..All she wanted was a hubby and family..she never had anandi's thirst of knowledge ,she went to school after prtaps death just to escape her kothari..found shyam, byebye😉 studies..well,it is what she wants..
There may be lots of reason to why teepri is the way she is,maybe the writers will get a really cruel husband in the plot to justify why she is the way she is..but the reason i dont like her going afer bairov/sumi is-they are a couple totally in tune with each other for like 20 years,no ego clashes-even she should see that,if "her bhairav"(-as she keeps on saying) in happy she should just let it be. you cant turn back time..
also i think she is going to create trouble between basant & bhairav too,divide and rule..that would be sad...

Agree with you.. your point taken..

well u have a good point abt her being brainwashed in her childhood bt now she is an adult wid her own brains and love dsnt mean ruining a well maintained relationship and trying to pick up the pieces..if bhairon was unhappy in his marriage then everyone would have gone all for teepri..bt here she is just trying to break up a family..tht is not justified and am sure children are not taught anything even resembling this from thier childhood..

yes, i agree with ur first point that teepri should not ruin bhairon- sumitra relationship. But, never in my post i said that children are taught about breaking a family. all i wanted to say that traditions have profound effects on developing a person's thinking. And sometimes, they use these as a refuge also.in my post, all i wanted was to have a view of situation frm Teepri's side, the way she sees it. Never i said that all she was doing was justified. She is someone who is clinging to her past till now, she refuses to let it go. she wants to escape frm reality. That's it.

no i understood what u were saying..i meant tht even if she was given the idea tht bhairon and she were to get married,children in general are also taught decent things and what she is doing is not justified..i agree abt her clinging to the past blindly and not letting go..

you are absolutely right about teepri and her feelings... they are 100% understandable and justifiable too... a girl being brought up thinking of a guy whod be her husband in future, coming to terms with that "would be" reality, liking it and living it... then being torn away from all those good times, friendship and promises... from all those dreams and ideas of a family she had created in her mind. or rather, the society had planted in her... all these are understandable and pitiable.. BUT, only TO THE POINT OF HER REACHING THE HAVELI... after that, what ever she did was absolutely wrong... a family thats well knit, she want it to fall apart... in spite of all tht she had to go though, i dont think she should ever resort to such cheap techinques - that too to a person who never really realised her love for him, who never thought of her after she left, who has a happy family now, and a loving wife who he loves dearly. so when teepri says "i want my bhairav back" she is just being selfish in plain terms... by this time, i am sure she'd hv made out tht bhairav loves sumitra and not her. so that implies her entry into the existing setup of relationships is definitely going to hurt him... and i dont believe love is something u can get by inflicting pain on the person u luv... her ways would have been justifiable had there been an end to her miseries atleast... but even getting bhairav for herself wont make her happy because its not a relationship built on mutual love. so theres no real solution to the condition she is in... and that makes her motives evil, not justifiable.
as anu mentioned, the culture again teaches a child to be all giving - to think of pati as parmeshwar, to bow to his wishes and give anything, even her life, for his happiness.... so again, i dont feel her childhood justifies her deeds at this point of time, its her selfishness thats ruling now, not the values and dreams she learned as a child... what do u feel??

how can a six or seven year girl fall in love with a boy??

Well said, you defo have a point in there...Teepri was probably told that Bhairon will be her future price charming & she grew up not being able to get over that thought! Now that Bhairon is happily married, Teepri's finding it hard to come to terms with her dreams...n that's whats giving her a shade of Grey to herself! This track sure seems interesting & has brought in freshness to the soap! Will defo be interesting to see how the creatives move this story line forward!

Cheers
