Usha,
Thank you and good post. I think what people want to see in Radhika's character is their reality for some reason, what they would do, how they would behave or what they would act on, how Dev should have been treated, how they would make things all better.
Radhika is a character, this is her story. We might not like what the creatives show from time to time BUT she is her own unique person in her own situation, no one can dictate what Radhika can or cannot do is this situation because our situation and our reality is not hers.
We choose to watch a story and its characters, willing them to come to our terms of reality is what is mere stupidity. From time to time, I think too that how come they make Radhika behave this way but this is the result of years of upbringing, noone has shown Shastriji and Devki to be perfect parents...
I guess then a lot of viewers like me , and many who feel upset with the way this Radhika character is portrayed on this show ..............taking advantage of a man madly in love with her and always making him do her bidding cloaked in a spiritual atmosphere , r indeed stupid ?😊 Coz u r saying ' willing Tv characters to come to our terms of reality is mere stupidity ' . Coz there is quite a coterie out here on this forum who read a lot of spiritual , ethereal , out of this world aspect in just two Tv characters .......Dev and Radhika on a Tv show and write oodles and oodles of their perspectiives on it .............so they r willing them to come to their terms of imagination or reality ...........does this make them stupid too ?
So I beg to differ here Deefan . I do not see their perspective as stupid either , neither our attempts to wish sanity in this show as stupid . There is a large number who literally go ooh aah over this Tv jodi and compare them constantly with Radha Krishna...........exactly the way creatives intended , and I totally respect that . And there is an increasing number who have diffrent concepts of love and post their views wishing that creatives inculcate these ideas of love in their next tracks by reading our posts on this very popular forum ............shudn't their views be respected too , instead of defining their attempts as sheer stupidity ?
When there were rumors that the wedding was gonna be cancelled after creatives made us dance by dangling the carrot of Radev moments before marraige ...........all members , ones who approved of Radhika's sacrifices and ones who didnt ........came together to ask the creatives not to do it . I had myself written a post ........Why the Wedding must happen , and it recieved unanimous support . Coz both types of viewers did not want the wedding cancelled . That means all the viewers were willing their wish in a show designed by creatives right ?
There r quite some viewers who were initially loving the way Radhika's character as it was portrayed but each Tv character evolves with diffrent tracks and opinions of viewers undergo many changes . In Ghar ki Laxmi Betiyaan initially everyone loved the spitfire character of Laxmi but later on found her very unreasonable and voiced their opinions on it . In this serial , many started out loving both Rads and Dev .........then slowly found Dev as the steady lover more attractive and with this wedding track , were disappointed to see that in their bid to magnify Dev the lover , creatives r again going overboard and painting him as too adjusting and Radhika as too demanding . So they voiced their opinions , hoping creatives do not butcher these characters in over dramatization..........a common mistake that they do . If u note ..........many viewers r of this opinion .........and definetely they r not stupid or incapable of realizing that this is a serial .
In Fact they love CB as much as those who regard DEv Rads bas contemporary Radha Krishna on this forum . Maybe .........just maybe thats the reason they visit this forum so much and post so much ..........not to ' bash ' as they have beenn unfairly accused of often , but to wish to make a diffrence and not to allow this show to go down the drain ? Has this ever occured to so called CB loyalists ?
So I request those who hold opposite views........do not get irritated with us and dismiss us as ' stupid' . And do not consider our frank posts , written keeping all forum rules in mind , as " bashing ' . I do not consider the imaginations of those on this forum as Rad Dev's love as ethereal as stupid at all . If our posts offend the involvment of some with this serial , we truly r sorry . Just remember we too love CB.......as much as u guys do .
