Not only is she rape, humiliation, electrocution victim, but also victim of criminal neglect by CVs and viewers.
This character suffered hell. For no fault of hers. Yet she is remembered at the end.Many wanted Ms Durga to leave it and join Shaurya. Then join Dev.Even now only thing that is wanted is just some jodi reunion.Justice for Payal? What is it?The great crusader lead is saving already protected girls but time and time again was lax with security of Payal who suffered relapse twice.In fact pain of gangrape, humiliation, torture, confinement, being made to lose sanity, being exposed to trauma again and again are all nothing compared to great pain of not uniting with lover (who you're married to anyway). The only thing in this show is - union of some jodi.Teena was a fabulous actress. Yet she got such a raw deal!😲Every chillu pillu got more scenes than her. Even Goenkas waiter!Non actors hogged the show. Her character's name was bandied about as an excuse but where was she? Nowhere except broken flashbacks.It was only about Durga. Her ego, her clashes, her prospective jodi, her claims, her "pain" in continuing this revenge.What was Payal? A patient who people visited or whisked away at will?Durga hasn't met Payal in days. Dayal "says" main mil leta hun. Really? He is either with Durga or at home. When he meets Payal?Payal was not even given chance to takedown her rapists. Only producer's laadla Dev is being lionised.There are zilch discussion on Payal, zilch expectations on her. Zilch scenes of her.When asked what you want? Answer is jodi romance, some villain being punished. No words on Payal.Durga's 2 year absence, her lack of safety for Payal are unexplained. They will remain thus because Payal was just an excuse.Sorry for Payal. Sorry to Teena.
Indian daily soaps are all about lovers. 2years seperation are the most hurtful thing in this world not Rape.Originally posted by: atominis
You are right @Perfect100!
Yet this show is making it all about Durga and Dev ka dard which is not even close to what Payal is suffering till date.😲Adarsh nari? Work as bahu or nanad is zero if invalid sister was left to rot.
I agree with the points that you guys have written already. When the show began, I thought this would be a refreshing change from the usual saas-bahu dramas that Star Plus normally churns out.
I have a few complaints from the show, and I'll start one by one.
@Nitya being the main lead. Yes, she is the main lead, but this fight was to get justice for Payal, so should Payal have been shown atleast when Durga tells her that a certain person has now been punished?
Payal was the rape victim and the catalist that amde Nitya change into Durga to get revenge from the culprits, so thier bond was definitely important for the show and it should have been well portrayed. Durga trying to find how to rehabilitate Payal to make her normal the quickest would have been better.
@ Dev and Durga's union. As much as I respect you and your POV, I completely disagree with it. This destiny trying to undo Raaj-and-Sakshi's union by making Dev and Durga unite is completely hog-wash. Maybe, you are more creative than the CVs and therefore have rationalized it in your head. (Sorry if I sound harsh and if you feel bad.) I am appauled at the writers for giving this so much importance.
Love and marriage are also very important, but they also have their own place. When the show started, we were promised one sister trying to get justice for another. This best friend and marriage crap was completely out of the picutre and seemed to have appeared out of the bule. Each relationship has its own time and place, and this was never the place for romance and reunions of two long-lost lovers.
Payal was the catalist for Durga and she was her main goal of life, so Dev and Durga should atleast have bonded over Payal. Dev could potentially have tried to make Payal rehabilitate and let Durga handle the revenge part. Then, perhaps their bond would have been stronger.
@ Dev trying to help Durga get revenge - Who asked for his help? Every time he tries to come and help Durga, he creates an even bigger blunder. Tae today's episode for example, him inviting Karan and his dad to their house took Durga completely off-guard, and this caused Sakshi to doubt Durga's intentions when she tried to signal Kangna. She gets her mroe in trouble than helping her. Why can't he be just forth-right and try to talk with Durga?
He honnestly frts more about his love and how to get close to her rather than try to understand and help the victim (Payal). Not once have I seen him ask in these days how Payal is feeling.
@ Durga inviting everyone to meet Payal - Yes, that is true as well. She has now been reduced to a museum piece whom everyone sees and tries to feel sorry for. Why cant they treat her more like a human and less like a weak being. If they want this to a progressive show for woman who have suffered rape, they should try to finally show Payal mustering up enough courage to fight and win the case.

Dev's tears are meaningful not payal's . Poor Dev who was unaware that durga is nitya..but what about payal who lost everything and still not aware from durga's truth ?
Dayal is concerned for dev-durga love story but not for payal. After all dev-durga have faced two year's seperation na which is the most hurtful thing in this
world.
I thought this show is different but No... indian writers are obsessed with lovers pain, bahu's mahanta and all..they will never show us anything beyond that.
Yup, that is so true. The writers seem more concerned with Deve and his separation from Durga ratehr than Payal who is lost everything.
Yeh rape ki revenge story toh ek mazak banke reh gaya jai. Payal is never shown.
These writers will never change. Marriage, love, and romance are so important to them that kahin se bhi voh usi peh hi dhyan dete hain.
They do not wish to focus on anything else. I think they tried ot show Dev as Durga's knight in shining armour but ended up making a food of themselves.
PS. I am not bashing the actor who plays Dev, but I reserve my right to bash the character Dev who has destroyed my show.
