I chose to ignore your comment, but since you have quoted me in your response, I would like to make my stand. I dont recollect using the word Bakht and neither did I recollect reading it in Napster's post to which I responded. I may have missed it so pardon me if I am intruding by making this response.

The sanskrit word "Bakht" means piety. It refers to the love a devotee has for God. No one, I repeat no one has ownership on the word. If some party politicos are using it, that does not mean that the word from now on should not be used and if used, it does not mean that we are assuming your affiliation to a certain political party or using it in a derogatory term. This is the first I am hearing of the word Bakht being synonymous to political affiliation. Pray tell me why we cannot link politics to a TV show? What's so special about them that it should be a taboo to talk about them. By the word politician we are not talking about a certain party, we are talking about all politicians. I hope this clarifies matters

Cheers

Dear ma'am, you are highly misunderstood, this comment was not for you but for Napster. It is always advisable to read all posts before coming to any conclusion. Unfortunately you didn't and you thought I wrote this to you. No, a big no. It was not for you.

Please read her posts(1-2 pages back) my reply and then her calling me "bhakt". I too know meaning of it, but to you understand it completely, please read her post and pls understand context. She accused my post to be religiously and politically motivated and when I protested, she said- she doesn't want to comment to bhakts..."

Request to read it. I never prefer to argue with anyone, but it hurts me as I didn't make any political comment. Also as per forum rules, I have complained this to moderator.

Respectful Sir,

I did pay heed to your advice and went back to page 2 to read Napster's comments. But to my utter surprise I also read your caustic response which in fact is no way to speak to someone. If you insinuate that she called you a Bakht you have asked her to get a life and what not. That is not the way one should be addressing a lady. So I would say lets call it even and bury the hatchet.

hopefully the TM won't go hyper bcoz I'm replying to your post LadyLaLa. letting you know bcoz your post got dragged unnecessarily. I've told him I won't converse with him and this guy needs to learn that if someone ignores him, he needs to stop pestering the person. I used the word bhakt for him for he saw a red flag over my mentioning of 'Hindu' without bothering to read it properly. you replied to the same post of mine, others must have EDIT: *read* too.

over my simple sincere question of whether he has an issue with just Hindus being portrayed in the show or in general, he chose to ignore the rest of my reply and then started ranting over my use of the word bhakt. he thinks a forum can't have a discussion on religion/politics.

once again, I am going to give a royal ignore to the person if he chooses to reply to this post.

No worries 😊 the thread is public property so we can post a response as long as we are following the rules.

i dont want to sound rude but i think indians need to understand what use to happen in the past and let the new generation know what wrongs happened in the past ... u learn from history and this is what happened to widows in the past and who knows maybe in some parts of india this still happens...and why does everyone want things banned in india its so annoying

While it's well within your rights to complain, I personally don't see an issue with what is being shown per se. Yes it is cruel & horrific the way they are treating her simply because her husband died & she isn't behaving according to their ancient customs. But that unfortunately is life. There are real women out there suffering even now daily & this is a show that is trying to bring these issues to light. It is a show about widows & how Dhani & Viplav hopefully change people's perceptions regarding them so it stands to reason it will show the plight they suffer.

Simply not showing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Maybe by watching the show regularly & hearing Viplav's many arguments throughout the show regarding the unfairness of a widows place in society, it might actually make someone think twice next time they see a widow or are about to be rude to them. Sure it's a tv show but it can also educate & shine some light on what is sadly a horrible fact of life for many women. I agree that they may be dramatising it for tv but the thought behind it is not wrong & for that I actually applaud them for trying. This just my opinion.

They used to do it in other serials like NAIDL. Very regretful

The first time posting in this forum...but I don't think yesterday's episode was harmful to the community , yes it was pretty disgusting and explicit...but what we have to realize is that these kinds of things do happen in the society, widows get burned, honor killings., burning people alive, these things happen. We don't see this because we live in a country where open and narrow mindedness go hand in hand and we represent the open minded community. We may feel that this is over stating of affairs but the truth is more gruesome. With the amount of honor killings we have in this country, we might be living in a community of barbarians. Bitter truth is still the truth. I was not very much into the show but by chance i came across this episode yesterday and had to admire the courage of the whole team to show these scenes.
