Anandi, the wife

the episodes involving anandi at her sasural are natural and what every bride experiences.

the burnt cake. Many housewives try to make something palatable out of unpalatable. but the cake was too decorative and clumsy.

switching off alarms and mobiles is natural for a concerned wife who treats her husband like a little boy needing rest.

atlast we are seeing the vulnerable and humane side of anandi which is better than the devi on a crusade.

anandi has done enough social service and now let her go through the travails of a typical housewife.

let shiv take a centre stage for a while and let anandi becomes a supporting wife.

Let it not become another useless and crap serial where the husband is reduced to an extra.

Toral is too good. she reminds me of meena kumari.

Isn't it it enough for you that every damn serial makes the lead into a housewife and makes the husband handle the outside that you want to turn a feminist and independent A into a supporting wife? What does that mean? That only a housewife and not a working woman can be a supportive wife? And that husband who have less success than their wives is not the right visualization? So what if Shiv is second fiddle? Don't you want equal and progressive importance to Anandi?

If Toral is as good as Meena kumari, then that is bad because in today.s world a crying and mild woman is not the right message.

Anandi had enough limelight. We need to know can a career woman adjust to become a second fiddle or her ego and ambition overpowers her? There cant be two career persons running out all the time. The children need caring and the extended family cannot become ayahs.

After Anandi and Gowri left, Jagya had come into his own. I dont want Shiv to become second fiddle and join the chorus anandi mahaan.

@michelle - Meena kumari argument is laid forth. We cannot argue with that.

but Shiv can become mahan? And why is it Anandi's duty to give up her career? Shiv house husband nahi ban sakta? Yeh sexist and frankly disgusting mentality toh badalni hai! Both should be equal! Anandi deserves limelight all her life- she has that potential and it is her right.

But Lavy is right. Debating with someone who has such narrow views about women's life after marriage is like banging my head on a wall

Too much feminism destroys family life. There is nothing wrong in becoming a devoted housewife.

Btw, I absolutely salute gauri for not compromising after marriage. And some ppl should not be watching women-centric shows if they feel women are supposed to be in the shadow of men.

so you mean that a woman should be allowed to go ahead only to the point that it is suitable to her husband and inlaws?

If you're a man, shame on you.
If you're a woman, double shame on you.

I don't want to talk to a disgusting person like you anymore. You can report me for this. I don't care.

I will not report because I have lots of patience and sense of humour. And I am not at all angry with you as I can empathise with what is your point of view.
