Anandi who is larger than life character whom they couldn't make her negative turned her inefficient to make her daughter kidnapped and filled her with guilt and made her feel as a failure as a mother.
They made her believe that she needs help in looking after her kids and shouldn't be left alone through two characters whom Anandi and loved and respected most just to make her shift into BH.
Now looking back this shifting into BH and making her stay there for 11 years more for making story for the Singhs and their interpersonal relationships changing because of the equation they have with Anandi. Other than that there seems to be no other reason for shifting Anandi there.
Even if she shifted initially because she was in a very bad shape and in need of emotional support there wasn't any necessity to show that she lived there for 11 years. She could have been shown living on her own in SN with Shivam like she is doing now and all these differences that lead to her shifting out could have been shown as few scenes providing back story for the current story,
New flaour
Anandi's character now looks so much better and even though we don't get to see much of her these days it is really nice to see her living life on her own terms and making SN as her identity and home.
She looks very much like the Anandi whom Shiv saw and fell the very first time he saw her all those years ago. She looks just as beautiful and graceful serene carrying all the grief so much dignity and enjoying whatever little she has been left with in life - namely her son Shivam Amol whom she is sharing him with his biological parents and trying to see her little daughter in every litlle girl she sees.
No wonder BV shotup to top 5 with last weeks episodes which were filled with well executed scenes of honour killing in the latter half of the week and Anandi with her two children in the mela having the time of their lives in that mela in the first half of the week.
The new flavour - Jagya Ganga story and the difference cropping up because of their equation with Anandi was waiting to happen for a long time.
Jagya Ganga marriage looks like a real marriage with real problems now even though at present they are giving Anandi as the reason for their differences it is one story that a lot of us can connect to.
The children Nandini Shivam Kundan Mannu Abhi Pooja all of these characters are shaping up quite well.
Well though Akheraj family they are dealing with a lot of things that they have not dealt with before.
Anandi and Shiv which were larger than life characters but never really had antagonists which were equally large. Akheraj the way he is being worked up one thing besides wanting to see Anandi get her daughter back is Akheraj Vs Anandi.
Don't think I can ever connect with Nandini and Mangala like the way I connect with Anandi Shiv and Dsa but this characters in new version are nevertheless interesting.
I'm glad that Im not emotionally attached to Ver 2.0 characters.So it beomes easier to watch or stop watching.
------------------
Initially the detailing and the time spent establishing this story and character was understandable but now it's high time the time is divided equally and these characters are connected to the original story.
