I'm truly horrified that Shiv was made to say J saved Sanchi from "zindagi bhar ki Sharmanindagi" I thought after all the rape discussions we have had nationally, a consensus has been reached that rape victims are not to be treated as women who have lost their izzat or honour The people who are beizzat or besharam are the rapists or those attempting to rape. Why should the victim feel shame/sharmindagi?
In fact, there was outrage when some politicians described the South Delhi rape victim as a "zinda laash". She wanted to live. She didn't see herself as a laash or beizzat. She died because of her injuries not because she had lost her honour. An IAS officer being made to mouth the equivalent of "uski izzat lut gayee" in this day and age is the real shame. BV writers shd be aware of the gender -sensitive changes sweeping the country. In retrospect I think this is what Sid tweeted about. It is totally out of character for Shiv to say this.
I'm surprised no one noticed this:((

There are many instances where this serial reinforces patriarchal values, so IAS or not, the charecters in this serial are expected to say such things.

Do you think BV writer is so sensitive to think about these things. Don't expect anything great from BV now. They have the old habit of butchering a character to show another character in good books.
The way they showed shiv and shekhars when they introduced their characters last year, now they are not shown like a very progressive family related to anandi life. They are happy anandi being a perfect bahu.

I noticed this. These days Jagya makes a lot of sense as compared to Shiv. His dialogues are way better.

@sheet @puja
I agree but should we not even point out? At least we should be evolved enough to object to such stereotypical portrayals.

Because cvs r trying hard to erase all negative memories of jagya character and give less importance to shiv character. Last year it was jagya character which was butchered and this year it's shiv. They really don't know how to balance the show giving equal importance to the main characters of the show.
Saanchi a side character is given more screen space than anyone else in the show right now.

Very nice analysis. If CVs had been so exclusive they would not have shown Jagya turning mahaan and sanchi getting space. I may be biased because i liked shiv's charecter from Day one.
But most people in the society still thinks it is a sharmandigi, convention does not go away in one shot.

it may sound harsh but Shiv was saying in context of society Jagaya saved Sanchi from sharmandigi from society unfortunately the societies all over the world a rape victim woman is treated more like trash , being made to feel ashamed of , either no one gives one damn to her and put shame on her counting it her fault or either if they sympathize with her they present her rape as a spicy story which make her feel more ashamed of herself Though there is none of her fault

Shiv was talking in that sense Fortunately his sister is being saved from any such cruel treatment Cvs are not butchering his character off anywhere here as far as Jagaya is concerned Cvs are not making him any extra mahaan but good, sensible . wise , mature gentleman who is shining in his goodness

BV has lost all logic since Jagya redemption track has started, they are going against everything they stood for by showing Jagya as mahaan, just to keep the serial going they are showing nonsense, the director really needs to stop this irritating Saanchi track...she is a bad actress and gets on your nerves...logically BV should have ended gracefully with Anandi's wedding...these days it has become a drag... Anandi was better off in Jaitsar..they have demoted her from Sarpanch to chai wali ...all she does in Udaipur is serve chai and snacks...pathetic...what happened to the fiery anandi who stood for causes...does this mean that once you are married to a good guy ...your ambitions go down the drain...
