Anandi is a victim coz she was a child bride. But by the same logic - Jagya was a boy groom and he gets no sympathy I wonder !!!
The difference is - Jagya made an effort to break free n try again. It was just his bad luck that he fell for a psychopath, otherwise - he had spared no efforts to make sure this marriage succeeded.
But for the sake of TRP's they showed Gauri abusing Anandi in private in Jagy had to bear the unsaid brunt of the guilt burden.
Nobody - well, very few people want to see things from J's point of view. Everyone has tears for Anandi when she had the whole support of her house, his house, the whole damn village and other villages to boot.
J's ambition to study further, go out and make something of himself - every thing was seen as wrong. But Anandi's incessant boohooing was acceptable. Jagya was alone, misunderstood, abused by gauri and so lonely and turned to booze and he was maligned for that too. Jagya just hasn't recieved any understanding.
Anandi truly loved Jagya agreed, but then, they never showed Anandi too getting to meet seom other handsome fellow who wud make her think - what if - she hadn't been married already ?
So - we'll neevr know if she wud have wanted to break free just like Jagya met Gaurin and felt that way.
And despite all this - Sumi - insists on wanting to control and select for him and make him conform. And she has DS's support in all this. I mean - why ? WHY shud people always have to compromise ? why shud they not be allowed to do somethiing just coz they want to ?
