31st jan13-ganga meet jagdish/shivnanadi relation - Page 2

A great episode today! Some great emotional insights and realizations going on...CVs are amazing, always proving why BV is a different show from the rest with their sensible, sensitive, and mature writing!

WOW the abuse shown, I was cringing and didn't want to see it, but honestly I applaud CVs for not making the violence seem filmy...women face tougher torture than that, we like to pretend that its only slaps across the face and verbal abuse that women must endure, but the physical and emotional torture is much more rougher than that. Women are treated like animals, not even second-class citizens or actual human beings and that is a reality we must all face and can not turn our eyes away from it any more. If we do, we will only propagate such behavior.

Glad to see J in full josh to protect Ganga. The way he doesn't want to tell Ganga's story to anyone until she is better tells a lot of his maturity and is feelings towards Ganga. I know some are against this pairing, but as I said before I think CVs are really doing a good job of showing how these two need each other. They might not look or seem like a good pairing, but their acting/character portrayal makes me think otherwise. Proving yet again to me that Balika Vadhu has not only great writers who write wonderful dialogues/characters, but also has great actors who know how to win over the audience. I am glad that writers are bringing back the social issues back to the forefront, while I enjoy them showing relationships, I love it when the main leads are realistically fighting for justice as well, it's what gives BV that different sheen as well as that mettle of substance from other shows.

Anyway finally we have that moment where Jagya-Ganga are at the hospital. I love how CVs bring to attention Jagya's self-discovery thru Anandi who explains to Shiv that J is going thru what she was going thru months ago herself. He is not the young, innocent, carefree Jagya, but he is not the self-absorbed Jagat either...he is trying to find himself, forge a new path where he redeems himself. I honestly felt for him when he was looking at Anandi-Shiv, he is reminded of how he lost everything and that's hard.

I especially love that Anandi tells Shiv that it was because he took care of her that she didn't lose herself. The way they were both looking into each others eyes was very romantic and intense. You can see how Anandi's feelings for Shiv have deepened even more after their marriage what with Shiv finding J and bringing him back home again, agreeing to celebrate Sakrant with the Singhs, understanding Anandi's need for space/time to accept him completely, the kite flying competition where both were lost in each others eyes then as well as when Bhairon sang a romantic song for Sumitra, helping her out in the kitchen and taking care of her fingers when he accidentally hurt her, making her comfortable when she was so obviously conflicted and distressed about using one blanket or separate ones bc she felt that she should, giving her green chudiyan on Sakrant that reminded her of her childhood, and everything else before they got married. I love very much how the CVs have slowly shown a natural progression in AnSh's relationship. They have shown A go from slowly trusting Shiv as a professional, to a friend, to having trust/deep affection/bond for her best friend/future life partner, to faling in love with him as her husband. Today we really got to see that increasing intensity for Shiv in Anandi's eyes, from when she thanks him for also caring for her family to when she told him it was bc of his care that she wasn't lost, to when he caught her when she almost fell. We have seen Anandi increasingly become more comfortable in his presence and less scared/more trusting of her own intensely deep feelings for Shiv.

I am also excited about the precap, whether consummation happens or not, i will nonetheless be happy bc one can see from her eyes that Anandi really wants to be with Shiv, that love/intensity/passion is all there...if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't...so what? It will eventually happen anyway LOL.

Hats off to the CVs for pulling one of the most substantial love stories I have ever seen on Indian television. It's all been shown with such grace, integrity, and respect. The rest have been full of crazy drama, but this love story had realistic ups and downs, making it all the more relatable and beautiful.

Loved Jagaya's spontaneous jump from terrace , rush to save Ganga who was brutalized. His concern for Ganga to save her at any cost was something i really loved and appreciate

Thanks for the update, Payal ji 😊

AnSh, AnSh, AnSh...where do I start? First of all, so happy that they got half the episode, as I think they always should. Their conversation was beautiful, not just for the things they said, but the way they said it. There was a hushed, intimate sound to it, in both their voices, that was very natural and lovely to see - SidYusha really bring it in all their scenes. The look Anandi gave him after she said it was because of him that she didn't lose herself The way he reflexively grabbed her, without a thought, the moment she started to fall. The way she looked into his eyes and the way they both forgot for a second where they were or who was watching them.

And the precap! I've learned not to have high expectations for BV episodes based on perfect episodes followed by perfect precaps through bitter experience, and there will likely be something unpleasant in the episode as well. (Like the perfect Sangeet episode with the perfect precap, and then the next episode had Sanchi's horrible play.)

But despite that, I'm still content with the precap itself. Sid looks gorgeous in that cardigan thing - or is it a hoodie? I'm loving Anandi's physical comfort with Shiv. And the candles - I love BV's candelight scenes, and this looks as beautiful as the one where Anandi was getting ready for the sagai, which was my favorite. I know the SR won't happen tomorrow, but I hope that when it does, there will be candles and "Aaj Mere Piya Ghar Aavenge". That would be perfection.

Also, I don't think she's falling for Shiv - I think she fell for him completely long ago, but what's happening right now is that she's realizing it. (I will say this a million times more).

My guess for what follows the precap is that Shiv will start to hold her face or something and then remember his vow and let go, or maybe just pull something out of her hair again, making it the third time he's done so 😆

Loved AnSh's involvement in saving Ganga too. They worked as one. Shiv looks mighty handsome when he is in full action 😳

Rest of the episode - still think Jagdish's spiderman act was hilarious. The violence was sickening. Still think they should have hinted at it instead of showing it. At the very least, I hope, like everyone else, that Ratan gets a comeuppance of a lifetime. Poor, tortured Ganga. 😭 How many countless women are there like this, who haven't done a thing to deserve this kind of brutality, and yet face it everyday? Damn patriarchal oppression. I hope she gets her child back, and I hope the CV's handle the whole thing with delicacy and sensibility. This is actually a real issue, so it would be good if they showed realistic dealing with it - recourse through law and the police and government help from Shiv, rather than filmy unrealistic things.

p.s. I know my posts are now essay length. I apologize. 😛
