Sudden obsession with pregnant anandi - Page 3

The demand for a baby from Ansh start too soon. Anyway, if CVs want, they will bring this pregnancy track. Don't know what social message in this. But we should request CVs to please don't show that cliched portrayal of treating pregnancy as a disease. I mean in films and serials including BV, the lady (even when becoming a mother second time) does not know that she is pregnant. It is just that she suddenly faints, the doctor (usualy a male doctor) comes, takes BP and declares the good news- or like in case of Ganga a Vaidya ji takes pulse and out come the good news. Gauri was herself a doctor (and a lady does not require to be a doctor to know that she may be pregnant) but even she could not guess that she is pregnant. Such scenes have been repeated so many times that when Sumitra fainted (after Jagya left haveli) and Lal Singh was taking her BP I thought that he will declare that 'good news'. Thank God it was not so. And after this breaking news comes the treatment like the lady is actually very ill - bed rest, lots of eatables and pampering by family members. All these things look very odd when we all know that in cities the working women continue to work almost upto the date of delivery and the village girls are even more hard working.

So I request CVs to plese don't show all these to our sweet Anandi. It will look better if Anandi finds out that she may be pregnant and discloses this to Shiv/Sumitra/Ira/Choti ma etc. and then they confirm it by urin test and other tests.

I'm also rather annoyed by this sudden pressurization...I mean, realistically...it is so damn AWKWARD for the couple in question! Being pregnant isn't about giving your grandparents great-grandchildren...it holds a lot more significance and comes with much greater responsibilities! It should be up for the couple to discuss their "family planning" in their own bedroom...everyone else should not be so vocal about their opinion... For example, Dadisa should not have asked Shiv about when him and Anandi are planning to have a baby...what the hell...how is he supposed to know that anyway..even if they did consummate their marriage, he's not the one bearing the baby, how is he supposed to know the technicalities of Anandi's menstrual cycle and whether she has conceived or not!?!

And I'm starting to think that too...maybe this pregnancy track had been under construction and it might've turned Pratyusha off...fair enough. I just don't understand why Indian soap operas have to follow the annoying and monotonous trend of marriage, consummation, pregnancy, perhaps a miscarriage, second pregancy, baby, time leap, show going off air. There are very few shows that have swayed away from that norm (i.e. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai... I don't watch it but I read articles and catch promos here and there) and I'm hoping BV is another one that sticks to its originality and doesn't get trapped into this messy storyline.

Babies are NOT always the next step after marriage...there is a lot more for AnSh to accomplish and experience as a couple and I really hope that the team of BV acknowledges that and gives this much loved couple their due!
