My Views on BB

This rant just consists of my views on the current scenario of Barrister Babu and the new promo ( child marriage banishment). Please don't feel offended. I had to vent out my frustration after the continuous bashing in the name of criticism. No offence to anyone. People have different opinions.

Anirudh's point of view clearly makes it clear what he wishes for Bondita, i.e, freedom and of course he wants her to become a barrister and not "Anirudh Roy Chaudhary's Patni" as he mentioned in one of the episodes. The path that he has chosen is absolutely wrong but his intentions are right. Anirudh is at fault but did he not try to explain Bondita calmly about their relation when she was all dolled up in that pink gown? Did he not tell her calmly everytime she hurt herself. Bondita was mislead to such an extent that she exclaimed in one episode "Patni ka khud ka aatmasamman hota hi nahi hai ( Wives don't have their own self respect)". A girl so fierce, who questioned the whole world once started questioning her own self respect. She became self destructive. From tatooing their names to fulfilling the fast, she was hurting herself and that's what broke Anirudh's patience. Anirudh clearly told her that "You don't have to be like a doormat. Your identity should not be confined to me. No person ( referring to himself) is so important that after him , you begin to question your own identity thus losing self respect"

Anirudh clearly felt that detaching himself from Bondita and hurting her is the only way (for him) to make her back on track which made him do a blunder and he very well knew the consequences. Even I'm not in support of polygamy and I really wish for him to realise his mistake. But also, I won't say Anirudh is ruined or destroyed ( many fans say so). NO not at all. He has always been impulsive. From filling Bondita's hairline with sindoor to being in a marriage (alliance actually) with Manorama, every decision has been impulsive. ANIRUDH IS A HUMAN AND THAT'S WHY HE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN MY FAVORITE ITV CHARACTER. ALWAYS.

Speaking about the love part, what if it's just a misconception of his own mind. Many instances show that he doesn't love Manorama. He loves Bondita but not like a PATHNI!! Why don't people understand? If he confesses his love for Bondita, won't it turn out to be a blunder itself. Anirudh had called Bondita his PATHNI many times, but when he saw Bondita's innocence being crushed by the society, he had no other alternative and he started his zimmedari (responsibility) rant. It will be disgraceful to interpret Anirudh's care and affection for Bondita as his love for his Pathni. Anirudh uses this word as a shield to protect Bondita and he ends up hurting Bondita. Society's expectation from Bondita as a wife prompted him to take this step.

I've always loved Bondita and I will continue to love her. Many may have noticed that she was being molded into a way which was right according to the social perspective but was utterly wrong from Anirudh's perspective. Bondita was lost and she has suffered from such a big emotional turmoil. Honestly, if I was at her place, I would've died a thousand deaths because everything that she went trough made my blood boil at the cruelness of society and I really wanted to slap Anirudh for his deed of second fake marriage. But I can clearly see where this is going and to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, right?

Action - Bondita hit her puberty, Reaction - Society' crap
Action -Society's crap , Reaction - Anirudh's zimmedari rant and marriage revelation
Action - Anirudh's zimmedari rant , Reaction - Bondita's insecurity + society intervenes again
Action - Bondita's insecurity , Reaction - Initiation of demanding pathni rights
Action - Pathni Rights + society's crap , Reaction - Anirudh's frustration and worries
Action - Anirudh's frustration and worries , Reaction - Anirudh's impulsiveness
Action - Anirudh's impulsiveness mixed with worry, Reaction -- THE POLYGAMY TRACK

So no one is clearly at fault.
Dosh logon ka nahi haalaton ka hai.
People are not at fault, the situations are to be blamed.

This is what I've realized and I would agree I saw this coming when Anirudh mentioned that polygamy is wrong in one episode.

And one more thing, I've been observing from like a month the hatred that fans are showering with so much love on the show. They are literally making derogatory comments in the name of criticism. Calling Anirudh 'tharkee', 'romeo' and names like that are such a disrespect. To make it clear, Ani fell for Mano's bravery (my remark only, no offense). IF ANI WAS THARKEE THEN HE WOULD'VE FALLEN FOR EVERY SINGLE GIRL OUT THERE BUT HE DIDN'T .DO PEOPLE EVEN REALISE WHAT THARKEE ACTUALLY MEANS ?THIS HAD MY BLOOD BOILING.
I EVEN SAW BONDITA BEING CALLED EVIL. SHE IS A KID FOR GOD'S SAKE. SHE DOESN'T REALISE WHAT SHE IS DOING. People are demanding self respect from a kid. To be honest, when I was twelve, I literally had no idea about anything called self respect. I agree Bondita is fierce, but she's not a typical 20 year old, she's just twelve practically. If she demands self respect, won't it pave the way of losing her innocence at this tender age. This is so unnerving. Where were these people during the separation and Heera Mandi track ?Why didn't they demand self respect then?

And PEOPLE HATE MANORAMA BECAUSE ANIRUDH FELL FOR HER?! HOW IS IT HER FAULT?? WHY IS THE GIRL ALWAYS BLAMED IF A GUYS FALLS FOR HER AND SHE IS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO HIS FEELINGS? People please wake up, I love Anidita but I'm a girl too. It's a disgrace to hate Mano because ARC fell for her. I didn't like her but she has no bad intentions. When we hate her for being ARC's crush or whatever, aren't we being the typical hypocrites of this society which blames girls for everything wrong that happens. There can be other reasons why people hate her character but if you hate her because of this reason that I mentioned then please wake up.

This track was so heartbreaking and as a shipper I had some heartbreaks but it's alright.

THIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY SHOWING THE JOURNEY OF BONDITA BECOMING A BARRISTER RATHER THAN SHOWING A GROWN UP BONDITA WHO HAS BECOME A BARRISTER AND WE ARE COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE ACTUAL JOURNEY . THIS IS COMMENDABLE AND REQUIRES COURAGE. I've seen other shows where the actual journey of the child is not shown and this is what makes this show different. They are actually showing the difficulties which actually started after the menstruation track. No wonder the education track was there, but then the focus was not on making Bondita a barrister. It actually started after Munshi track.

I don't have much to say about the new promo because it's not exactly what it looks like, but it is definitely going to be an emotional roller coaster and I have a feeling that certain realisations are on their way. And there is something more to it and it was not that easy to make a law, there are a lot of proceedings before that. But people have started their judgement once again. Just let it begin for once. People, including me were enraged when we saw Ani getting married to Manorama but I didn't see anything between Anirudh and Manorama that sounded odd or romantic in the recent episodes. Fans have started taunting the makers by stating that the law was passed in 1929, that's true but guys, it's fiction and the timeline of the show was never mentioned. We only guessed the timeline through Greenwood's remarks. I don't know what this new promo and track holds but can we please wait and let it unfold? I'm sure a hundred questions must be running through the minds of all the fans. A lot of ifs and buts but there's a feeling that this promo doesn't tell the whole reality (it's always been the same with other promos too) because if all the marriages would break like this, won't it create a big havoc? I know makers are testing our patience again but we should be happy that the story is finally on track. The recent tracks , though they have been irritating and have tested our patience, have just focused on one girl's life, Bondita's life. Yes, think deeply guys, Anirudh's life has become Bondita centered. He thinks nothing else and he is so blinded that he can go to any extent to make Bondita a barrister even if it costs his life ( he put himself in danger once ) or going against his own principles (polygamy).

I'm not here to support any character but these are just my views as I was so irritated by the continuous derogatory remarks on almost every character. It's not about proving Anirudh or Bondita wrong. Neither is it about proving them right. It's just that I was hurt as there was brutal bashing in the name of criticism which irks me.

I'm not saying that I'm a fan of this track or anything. Heera Mandi and Bedwetting track will always remain my favorites. It's just that I don't know why people start bashing the characters so brutally making such remarks that I cannot even describe. Though there are some expectations as personally, even though I'm not against Anirudh or I'm with Bondita, I just want both of them to realise the actual consequences and apologize to each other and yes BOTH OF THEM as both of them have suffered. I don't support polygamy and this is the only reason why I want Anirudh to realise his mistake, even though he has already said himself that "What I'm doing is completely wrong" but I just want him to realise this in front of others as well.

I really don't know what kind of reactions I will get after posting this but please don't judge me as I'm a human too. These are just my views and I think everyone's opinions matter.

BARRISTER BABU IS NOT A FAIRYTALE WHERE EVERYTHING WILL BE ACCORDING TO OUR POINT OF VIEW AND THERE WILL BE NO HURDLES.

I've posted the same thing on wattpad. If you come across the same thing, then yeah it's me only.

ONE THING MORE. IF YOU ARE OFFENDED AND FEEL THAT I'M LESS OF A FEMINIST, LET IT BE AND PLEASE NO HATE COMMENTS ON THIS POST. I'M LITERALLY TIRED OF IT. PLEASE DON'T REPLY.
I'M SORRY IF I SOUND RUDE BUT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS HAS ONLY MADE ME FEEL GUILTY AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF IT NOW.

We've had so much discussion on Ani and Bon, I would like to comment on Manorama

The character is not negative, she hasn't done anything wrong with anyone, in fact She is a freedom fighter who is going to sacrifice her life for her nation and people call her selfish because she took a cake, Is that cake more important than mission carried out by freedom fighters against British empire? How many times we have seen and heard the sentiment "Desh ke age kuch bhi nahi" but here a cake means more than the mission, how is someone who has made up her mind to die for freedom of nation selfish?

Barrister Babu is not a romantic show, it's not about relationship between a husband and wife, it is journey of Bon to be a barrister and journey of Ani, who will fight against all odds to make her a barrister. The show is giving women an identity but all I see is demands of new romantic interest for a 12 years old, which is quite bizarre

There can be a positive and good female character other than female lead, women are good too, they are not always Saudamini and Sampoorna.

Exactly! People hate her because ARC fell for her! Is that even justified and a valid reason to hate her? Why is the girl blamed when a guy falls for her? It seriously gets on my nerves.

It must be her fault that he fell in love with her, why didn't she care about marriage, is freedom of country more important than a marriage?

Are u blaming Manorama? I don't really get what u are trying to convey. Can u please elaborate?

This is quite right, honestly, speaking.

In a way, Aniruddh is parenting Bondita. She's just a child. But I'd say that parenting is not done in the right way. Well, we're all human and we make mistakes.

Honestly speaking, I've seen so many people in the comments that Aniruddh should love Bondita and she should leave him then he'd realize his love for her and all that crap. I'd say, come on guys, she is a child. Literally just a child. If he ends up romantically falling for her, this is pedophilia. Manorama and Ani was far more in the same age group so it makes sense that he fell for her.

Also, Manorama is not wrong anywhere here. She's just doing what is required for her. If she doesn't understand his feelings or doesn't reciprocate, how is it her fault? For her, the motherland is more important than anything and I commend that part of her. She's a freedom fighter, not some vamp. I really wish that they won't change that aspect of her character that desh sabhse aage hai. She doesn't have the time to comprehend. She's more bothered about something that bigger than her own personal feelings or what others are busy with. I really admire her.

More so, she actually admires that Aniruddh cares about Bondita and wants her to become someone in her own right, you can't call that selfish.

Now, I'd say that Bondita's reaction is like that of any woman who has to accept that her husband has another wife. I don't see that as wrong. She's still a child and doesn't have much maturity. She would act like that because that is what she has seen from society. Only if she's educated in a better manner, she can understand how to act in that situation.

Aniruddh's parenting methods are far more similar to how parenting is done in our society. Like our parents care about our future and sometimes become harsh. They don't mean ill of us but there has to be a better way than putting someone through an emotional turmoil and hurt them. I'd say there's always a better way.

We can't entirely blame one person in all this.

Yeah ! This is what I feel. Thank u so much for sharing your views

I would like to share my feelings pls don’t mind : Manorama- She is a freedom fighter. I respect her for the passion towards country. But she is hiding many things with Anirudh and her parents. If she dies in her mission, what will Anirudh answer her parents. If britishers suspect RC family, will Anirudh and his family be saved. She is using bomb, there are many chances that innocent people will also be died or become physically handicapped. Did she think of all these repercussions.

Anirudh- Even Anirudh had not thought of many repercussions by taking hasty decisions. I know he will realize and I am damn sure that he will apologize Bonditha in public. But he didn’t cross check How Manorama had collected his details when they were living separately. Now also he was not curious about her intentions And the path chosen by her. Being a barrister, this is not expected from him. (May be if they show that he was already alert , I will take back my words) Bonditha- At first I also thought that she should leave and go away permanently. I was unable to digest Anirudh second marriage with Manorama ( Although I know that this is a serial, never I felt with any stories while reading or watching). Even I was disappointed when she had not chosen hostel option or leave the house. That was not the time period where relationships were given up due to one tragic situation. She is rebuking on both anirudh and Manorama in the same way as a teenager rebuke on their parents or elders if they were forced to do any work against her wishes. Throwing things hastily and rebuking in public are the things where children learn from elders. Obviously I need not say from where she learnt all the things. Sorry for long post and I apologize if any mistakes were there.

Bondita to be honest makers tried to show she was attracted to him which we thought but on analysis the situation she was not ,she greatly admires ani and loves him platonically not as husband , she was doing what her mother taught her ,they tried to show how society fills a young girl who is in stage of growing hampers her teenage growth before becoming adult ,like that man in first episode pointed to ani ,that before becoming a woman ,u marry the girls of 8,9 10 just because of being a woman , as they are considers for this only rather thank creating their life

Bon is unique because of her peronsaloty ,selfless nature and how she grasps is good things from people and shows love to erbyone ,we all saw her in chodi hui aurat,Hira mandi, Munshi ,Greenwood and also molestation

That is her inner personality but after all she is a growing girl not a kid anymore not a mature woman but a teen who is starting to realise ehr self worth ,her rights and she faced such harsh truths and reality on her every beautiful phase ,first periods she was horrified reaosn her own loved one sampoo didi, second she was forced into those rasams she thought her coming of age was celebetarted as boon but people expected physical relation from her ,she faced molestation

It horrified ani too as he was not in senses he could be at Thakur place ,then she faced betrayal from sampoo left home struggled societies filled her mind with pati prem she asked kisse prem karte hai , she thought ani affection as love but that was not her mistake ,she genuinely considers ani as family ,makers showed neither bon blushes about ani nor bon has fantasies about him ,it is just she is lead that u have to become Adarsh patni ,ani mistook this as change of feelings for him

Bon had gratified and respect for a person who risked his life for her better future and she was distracted by society like other girls it is just bon is expressive of what she does and what she does not ,she faced polygamy and Anirudh impulsiveness at her insecurities worsened not for finding Anirudh love but he is her unconditional support , the only one person who wishes well for her without any greed she thinks he did for her as a husband as that is what was taught to her by her mom yes her mom
