Savitriben character ruined.

I always thought as a character Savitriben is a very clean minded, loyal, responsible and trustworthy character.

However, lately the creatives have decided that they will show her repeatedly running to God when she is in trouble. If she really trusts Lord Krishna that much, I don't think she would repeatedly go to God. What makes the whole matter worse is that they show her requesting more then her praying. God is no wishing machine that will grant your wishes.

What do you guys think about this?

Yes, I agree with you in this instance. Savitri has morphed into a JELLO-like character, with instability, no lucidity, no inner strength, no reason. This is not the Savitri we knew before although it's not that much of a departure--quiet but principled and honest about what to do. But, as I write this, I think Savitri never had strength; she was too subservient as per role as bahu of the house. Think back and you'll see that her daughters support her; even when sisters and Savitri were convincing Lakshmi to marry Karan, Savitri said a few things softly, but it was the sisters who led the charge. I am not a huge fan of parents depending on children all the time for support. Please don't misinterpret: I belive children should help their parents, but I think parents also have a responsibility to their kids early on in life and
Savitri allowed not only herself but her daughters to be disrespected and look down upon. This is why I don't like her. Forget the holier than thou, honesty, religious and other things attributed to her.

Sorry I went on and on. To answer your question directly, she does ask a lot of God but noone else, and I think once in a while they should show her quickly walking to the temple, telling Bhagwan how she's been a devotee, and now it's time for him to help. I think one should always go to Bhagwan, thinking about situations, finding peace, sharing thoughts with Bhagwan. And yes, you can ask for a favor once in a while, we all do it. But for Savitri to ask Bhagwan for help is perplexing. I mean didn't God send Karan to help and they turned him down? What do you want from God, a check payable to Savitri in the amount of Rs. 50 lakhs. Bless my daughter as she goes to Bombay, please let her win......it's endless.

I agree with you .. she is always crying and begging ....

The character of Savitri has a lot of potential where the strenght of woman is concerned. But unfortunately they show Savitris strenght in wrong ways.
They will show Savitri having the capacity to fast for days for a pooja or a mannat. But they wont show her utlising same strenght to get the property papers signed by her husband and give her daughters equal right in property.
They will show Savitri following her husband outside his house when flung out by son. but they wont show Savitri on her own , starting a business to pull on the house when Surya was making the rounds as a salesman. She will wait for husband to give order or daughter to take charge.
She never corrects daughters when they r wrong. She never shows any decision seperate from her daughters....as only her own. If Surya is her priority ....then she shud have shown her independent self by asserting herself in the accepting money from karan. but she listened to laxmi instead . no mind of her own.
They can show Savitri as a pativrata ...but being a pativrata doesnt mean losing self respect like Savitri did . Sita refused to go to Ram when he called her back in the end....Draupadi had a lot of spirit and questioned her husbands , Parvati often fought with Shiva on various issues . So u see , being a pativrata doesnt mean keeping so much quiet like Savitri does at the cost of self respect . It is high time they show that she realises that god is not just in a statue but also in human beings who offer to help her.

The problem with Savitri is that while making her traditional, they made her subservient and obedient.
You can be traditional without being both of those things. You can have a backbone and voice.

I really dislike her character. She's like a child everyone needs to take care of. All the while she's relying on her daughters, she is not guiding them or making decisions for them. Ughhh. I just want to shake her and say snap out of it!

i think they made her charecter like this on purpose.. she is really quite and all but when she needs to fight like when saraswati got 3rd degree burned.. she was the one who started how dareu touch my daughter thing

no matter how scared parents are they do anything ofr their children so next time her kids are in trouble she will strengthen up..lol

when someone belives comes m zip

YEAH YOURE TOTALLY RIGHT
