DBSK not directed by Sagars - Page 2

In serials, name-ji is the norm w/ most lead couples, while in some, the bahus just plainly address hubbies by name (e.g. Sandhya in RS addressed both Yuvraj, and later her 2nd husband Neeraj, by name, w/o even the -ji. In Jyoti and PKCM, the -ji was kept, as is in BBGC, while in RBO again, the -ji was dropped. The mileages vary).

In real life, wives just address hubbies by name, it's no big deal. Mine does. But I'd be surprised if any of our parents generation had that practice.

I disagree w/ something else you've written in some other threads of how this is worse than KHMK or JSK. So far, DBSK hasn't gone anywhere to the extent that KHMK has, and if you recall, ASR in the Uttarkand completely botched it when showing KL childhood - not just swarna kamal but everything b4 that. In JSK, they showed Vasudev as a part time psycho, and in KHMK, they made up whatever they felt like to show the Kauravas in a good light. The Tulabharam incident is not even well documented to complain that it's being distorted - maybe SP would have done well not to have shown it in the first place.

But I do agree that Rukmini needs to be back. If there are problems w/ Priya, get a good actress - there are plenty in MSDK who would do a good job there - and put her back in her proper role.

In RSR, Sita always addressed Rama as Raghunath, but never Raghunandan. Valmiki addressed Rama as Raghunandan. Difference was clear - those older/superior to Rama in stature, like Vaisistha, Valmiki, et al would address Rama as Raghunandan, while Sita would address him as Raghunath (Lord of the Raghus). Others usually addressed him as Maharaj, Prabhu... Incidentally, Sita could have addressed Rama as Maharaj, and been pretty okay, although it was pretty funny when Sita objected to Rama calling her Maharani. 😆

BRC was pretty coarse in more ways than just this one - Draupadi only once addressed Bhima as Aryaputra - when she asked him to shave Jayadrath. Otherwise, she'd always say things like Gadadhar Bhim, Gandhiv-ban Arjun, as though putting those prefixes made it okay. And hers was the only problem - Kunti, Madri, even Gandhari, used Aryaputra for their husbands. If the Draupadi they select in this serial is like RJS have been, I shudder to think of her as addressing Arjun as Partha, or Yudhisthir as Dharmaputra, or even worse, Nakul or Sahadev as Madri-Nandan 🤢😆

I really would have liked all the wives to have addressed them as Aryaputra. I'm fine w/ Didi & Bhabishri, though, but for the latter, only when Krishna is addressing Revathy (Bhabi-ma sounds too funny), not when RJS or any of his other wives are.

Vrish,
