sigh I didn't have the heart to watch it. I just skipped it and watched the precap.

you all are brave to even watch it.

in the precap yesterday they showed Anandi screaming
and I just shut off the youtube and moved on.

I cannot handle Anandi in pain so how can I handle Anandi being molested.

No way.

and I am glad Jagya is with her or else what crap she has to go through after she reaches village.

I am not sure what losers will still point at her but having jagya by the side as proof will bring some light and the culprits can be brought to justice. I really really really hope so. and jagya will get a chance to think about the damage he has done.


this redeem track is working well

but not enough to convince me for a jaAN union.

i beleive that was the only show where a character so adored and loved got raped

and it was a few exceptional case where audiences still supported the pair karan nandini
kyunki was a bakwaas show but they handled that track with gr8 aplomb and it was not just a ploy to get high drama as in the case of bv
the story as to how nandini moved on her hubby karan convinced him to keep that child ,
indeed that was a very touching track ekta did brilliantly there
see this scene if u all have time ,
it is my all time fav scene it was so intense and powerful just after that horrible experience she got

I hate bv cvs here .they do not show these tracks to pass out a message , they just show that to add to the drama , if they had some good intentions behind this , i would have applauded them but no
sorry for the long rant😆😆but now i feel this show is getting worse day by day
\they jus pretend that they have made a social show infact its not

Rape is too much. I would like to go with second option. As they want to maintain pavitrata of lead girl. Otherwise i belive its quite impossible to get a young girl back without being raped. In reality kidnappers first step is rape. But here it doesn matter if jagya make some1 pregnent but he should get back pure anandi.
But i think it would b hard 4 anandi to convince villegers abt her purity. Allover she is back frm where she started.

Very nice topic.

Yes, most Indian shows fight shy of showing the lead heroine getting sexually battered. However, I don't think it's because of the second point, people are much more aware and politically correct nowadays. 😊

Today's scene of sexual assault was not only disturbing but immensely violent as well for the standards of Indian television. However, what keeps me wondering is that why did the CVs not show Anandi being raped? In a situation like this in reality, the kidnapped girl would have been raped. The scene too was very similar to an archetypal rape scene---there were prolonged shots of struggle, close up shots of the feet of both the abuser and the abused ( a very common symbol for rape) and a post-molestation break down scene of Anandi which again resonates with other post rape scenes. Yet the audience was shown that Anandi was stopped just short of being raped, she is molested. Now I can think of two possible reasons why they didn't show Anandi's rape:

1. The CVs were sensitive and decided showing a rape scene would be too much violence for the Indian TV screen. So not showing the rape scene actually brings out the sensitive side of the CVs to not make the story too bleak and dark

2. The rape of the main female protagonist would have been unacceptable for the general Indian audience. The rape of Anandi would have tarnished her "purity" and would have made her less acceptable among the viewers. So Anandi experiences a near-rape but not a complete rape and thus she still keeps her ""purity" intact. A raped Anandi, like a lot other raped women in our society, would have been seen as someone "impure" and not worthy of playing the main protagonist.

I personally think it is the second reason. Though I feel greatly relieved that Anandi was not raped, when I come to think of how her rape would have probably diminished her acceptability, it makes me shudder to think about the general mentality of the larger audience about rape.

What do you guys think?




she was not raped because Heth Singh wanted her to return home without even a scratch on her body so that when she tells her kidnappping story nobody believes it and everybody should think she ran away and came back after some problem came and is now making stories.

Love bites and scratches ho jaata hai yaar...it'll all get blamed on too much excitement trust me.

Currently as crazy as our village mentality is - nothing Anandi says is going to help her unfortunately. Heth Singh has won this round. Now - whether Shrava comes back or not - Jagya talks or not, Anandi will have to walk aound wiht a question mark on her head. Hope Phooli has some solid prooof to save her from this public unspoken lynching of her character.
