It's really stupid move to make Nandini go through the same thing that Anandi went through.
What is worse is the way they went about doing it.
If they wanted to stick to the theme of empowering women in rural set up they should have never moved Anandi Shiv out of Jaitser. Then they could have shown Anandi Shiv working in that area of empowerment of women in various ways.
Anandi Shiv story started to sink when they moved them into Udaipur and decided to make a family drama in order to justify the enormous cast they have taken as Shiv's family. Since that family as individual characters didn't strike cord with the viewers they just made Shekhar family members into problems to be solved by Anandi and Shiv.In the process they just killed the essence of the show.
Now in their effort to ge back to what thye have started with - they came up with the most unconvincing story of making Nandini a child bride.
As I have said before I may watch it for Anandi and it probably will end with Anandi's journey for me simply because I am not interested in Nandini's story.
But there may be people who could be interested in watching gen next story - Fine if they want to build Nandini's character and make her into another Anandi - then why not put her in a different circumstances?Say for instance fighting gender discrimination by the family which adopted her?
Or even if they wanted child marriage why not get her married off by her adoptive parents who stole her?
All this kidnap drama and the way it is done just to ensure that Anandi is filled with guilt and will never be at peace until the child is found even if she is found she will never be able to forget how and why it has happened
Just to ensure that Anandi's life is filled with grief and misery and ensuring they have a Balika Vadhu for Ver 2.0? 0.3 they came up with such a lousy story and how do they expect it to work when the basis on which the story is being laid out is so shaky and unconvincing??
