There r a lot of talk ,which character is real one and which is unreal BV. But in my POV there is no any real character and there sd not be any real character in the serial, otherwise it wd be not a masala show but just a autobiography. The real situation r much different from the reel situation. In fact real situation r much more worse thn reel. If we see the real situation in BV context, it cd be much worse thn it is being shown. J cd dump A and cd live happily and Singh family cd kick out A from the family and she cd lead a miserable life. In other situation A cd file the case on J and there wd hv been legal fight between thm,

But is it necessary to show the real situation in the daily soap, which motive is entertainment and if together with entertainment they give a social messages, thn its like sone pe suhaga. In my POV, they mostly create the situation and show WHT SD BE in tht situation and not WHT IS IN REALITY. And this way they can give a social message. There r some serial exist which show the real situation and with real happening, but they r a different category, here I m talking abt the daily soaps.

Same whn we analyze a character we talk HOW IT SD HV BEHAVED in particular situation and not how people behave generally. Today its trend tht if a character is shown sacrificing, to criticize thm with tag of DEVI and whn other character is full of fault, praising thm with tag of PRACTICAL or REAL.

In BV context, I hv told in another thread too, to understand A we hv to understand the environment in which she is brought up. CVs hs shown a situation in which a child marriage is very common thing and where a girl hs to do all compromises and sacrifices. Where no one can raise a voice against the head of family, who is very conservative and dictator by nature. In tht situation if Anandi did compromise and all sacrifices to win the love and respect of family and sacrifices her own ambition to keep unity of family, is it fair to criticize her with DEVI TAG??? Living in city and talking abt woman rit and ambition is very easy, but here CVs hv tried to show even winning the respect and love of family is a big achievement and ultimate goal in tht situation.

On the other hand G is being praised tht she is very real character, becoz she hs all the real emotions. But can in reality anyone get marry in HURRY with a person, who hs been laying for more thn 5 yrs, without doing any enquires, and particularly if u r so well educated and modern?? Without caring his family and other wife and soon after marriage within few hrs, instead of SR, going for blessing??? And expect tht everybody is just waiting to hug thm . Can we say this is real character???? CVs hs created this situation only for entertainment purposes, so criticizing one as unreal and praising other as real is not fair. So in my POV, we sd analyze any character on the basis of moral ethic, and not on practicality, becoze no character in the serial r practical. This is the fact. We cant praise a criminal activity or adultery, or infidelity or insensitivity towards other character, by a character, only becoz in reality it happens.

Both A and J r unreal characters and created for the entertainment. One can like a character for entertainment value and dislike other, but whn its come to analyze a character we cant take these criteria. I, myself don't like only goody goody scenes, or boring tracks. Love birds tracks for long time can bore me either it's A&J or A&G, if there is not masala. I also started watching BV whn this G track started, and I liked tht character initially till she was in dark. I still love this track (if it will not be dragged too long), but it dosnt mean I sd justify G or J becoz they r entertaining me and criticize A, becoz she is not putting much masalas.

This is my personal POV and how I see the characters and write abt thm.

I do agree with you that all the characters shown in a fictional show are unreal. The whole scenario lacks reality but people still watch it for the masala value atleast I do. But yes they are not completely unreal also since we do get to see people liken J and G. although A's characterisation at one point of time seems unreal but i cannot deny that people like her too exist.

@ankit again a fantastic post!!👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️i think now wenever u post sumthing i've not left wid more words 2 praise ur balanced posts wid proper & right amount of entertainment, social msg.ethics & moral &human values!!👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️
u r rite that in reality situations r more worse & may b ppl think that being selfish is realistic . but its not the like this even in reality. if sum1 behaves like the G is behaving any1 wud've killed her. so wat u call them ??oh!its being realistic so they've done right by killing her!!
didn't any1 heard or read anuradha bali & chander mohan's case. if such thing happens wid G like wat happened wid fiza anuradha bali then 2 we shud say ,' oh they r being realistic in their approach,so they r not wrong!!' wow!! wat a realistic thing 2 happen in a show!!👏👏👏 just bcoz sum on-screen ckt exhibits sum of real life -ve shades, we shud support that act or deed!!
if saying of reality then rape, murder,theft & adultery r realistic ckts of a human being so we shud support these acts even in real life??👏👏😲
and though every show except sum comedy or cartoon shows has the responsibility of giving gud msg of moral & human values alongwid entertainment!!! even news & documentaries hav sum msg of moral & human value alongwid giving knowledge of wats happening or wat'd happened!

In reality there are so many ways a spouse who is being cheated will react. One classic example is story of Lauren Bobbitt. She cut off her spouse's private part when she found out he was sleeping around. Some people will go in depression. Some people will first mourn, then try to deal with it and move on with their lives. There are people who would want to take revenge and create havoc in their ex's lives.
In this serial Anandi has chosen the path where she mourned for her love loss, now she is trying to deal with it. Eventually she will move on with her life. Staying in the haveli with her ex and his wife around is not helping her to get over Mr. Jagdeesh. (this is the guy she was married to not to Dr. Jagat)...

Very well said Ankit. It's absolutely fallacious to support a character saying he or she is more real and condemn another just because she seems unreal. The point is:

1. There is no one reality. You might have experienced a different reality than I have. You might have come across a different set of people as I have. And similarly, your value system might be different from mine. So if being selfish and petty is reality for you, my reality might consist of people who are humane and selfless. How can you tag something as real and unreal?

2. A serial is much like literature and literature or any form of fictional art never portrays reality as it is. As Ankit rightly said, those are called biography or non-fiction. A literary work either projects a situation taken from reality and presents it with the author's own interpretation of it, so that we are also spurred to think about the world around us. However, a truly good literary piece builds on imagination-----portraying things or people that are not necessarily there-----but which can provide inspiration and model for a better society.
It is therefore many writers say that it is possible to change the world with literature or arts since they give us an immense resource of new ideas and new ways of looking at things. Please don't forget that the submarine was built inspired by H.G. Well's fictional novel.
It's completely fallacious to thus say a fictional character should be shunned just because she is 'unreal'.
If BV were indeed the representation of reality then---- there was a large possibility that Anandi would have been thrown out of the haveli, people would have called her bad names, her parents would have been humiliated and perhaps Anandi would have committed suicide by now.

3) Every time there is a debate between the pro-Anandi and pro-Gauri fans in the forum, it's always done on two different parameters. The first group usually invokes questions of ethics, morality, values and the second group argues on personal preferences and questions of reality or identifying with a character. These are two completely different platforms and a debate based on these different contexts is sure to cause total mayhem.
From my personal experience I can say that every time I have posted a critique of Gauri's character based on the parameter of ethics or value, the counter response has always been on the issue of what is more real. By that logic we should not critique dowry deaths, domestic violence, child labor, bribery, sexual abuse, exploitation of the poor, corruption and many other things because all of them happen in real life and are very much part of the REALITY !!!

Talking about ethics and talking about facts are two completely different things. 😊
