What novel? How do u know that..I don't think old kasauti was based on any novel.. can u tell me more abt this
Wow. This sounds about right! Noice interpretation there gurlll ! (Also it fills me with so much sadness even though all this separation angst judaii kasauti is inevitable)
Also can you tell me briefly (if only it is okay with you) about that thornbird story and how it relates to Anurag being pricked by the thorn in the promo. lol I did watch that episode but since I was doing a KZK marathon to catch up, I didn't pay much attention there!Edit: I only know thornbird suffers in love (suffers for love/suffers for someone it loves???!!) can't remember anything apart from itOkay I read the comments and now I understand fully but now I feel bittersweet about this :((

Yes, they are giving so many hints about anu's character in this season being the one who will fight for and pine for prerna's love, whereas in the original anurag ditched, hurt, mistrusted and broke prerna and wasn't loyal and respectful to her which was what caused them to separate forever on two instances, whereas in this season they are showing anurag to understand prerna even when she pushes him away from her, care for her even when she doesn't want it, and unconditionally fight for her happiness and safety even when she doesn't ask for it.
I think ekta has switched anu and prerna from the original season, and here made the girl the spineless and weaker character, and made the male stronger and a fighter, whereas in the original we all know that prerna was uber strong, independent and a fighter with anu being the spineless one who gives up on and disappoints prerna.This also saddens me because it still means that one lead will be butchered for the sake of elevating the other in order to explain and justify their separations. I will be interested though to see when what happens with anurag's character this season after realising he is the thornbird of this season instead of prerna.I guess this expains why this season prerna's character is least liked out of the leads and anu is loved more by audience, whereas in the original the audience appreciated and liked prerna, and hated on anurag for his spinelessness, despite the fact that even prerna wasn't perfect and did things that the audience didn't like either. Because this time anurag will be the loved lead instead of prerna of last season, and prerna this season will be disliked for her actions and behavior just like anurag of last season.
"There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out-carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain... Or so says the legend."

</font><font color="#222222" face="sans-serif">Like the thorn bird having found the thorn tree it wanted all its life, anurag found his true love despite not even looking for it, but anurag's love for prerna will be undying, so much like how the pain that the thorn bird experiences yet endures with all its strength to sit on that one thorn tree it had longed and strived to find resulted in the most beautiful song at the expense of the bird's unbearable pain, anurag will have to experience a lot of pain at the expense of trying to be with prerna and that pain won't weaken him, as just how the thorn bird rises above it's pain to sing the most beautifulsong ever heard that even makes god smile, this is symbolic that anurag, who is the thornbird of this story, will be motivated by this very pain and not give up on his love for prerna, but will make him fight harder despite the pain.</font><font color="#222222" face="sans-serif">
</font><font color="#222222" face="sans-serif">I think in both the thornbirds story and the story of kasauti, pain and hardshipwill be the expense to be paid for trying to get what you most desire, showing that gaining what you desire can't always be as easy as you wish, and if your desires are true and strong, then that pain won't weaken you, but will serve as a motivating factor to fight for what you desire.</font>
I don't know if we should put to much store on.the Thornburg story and anurag.. this is daily soap after all.. if he marriedls komolika all this speculation is down the drain.. if they don't have anu komo marriage only then I will have some hope
Yes but kasauti is actually based off of the thornbirds novel, so it is nice to understand what the thorn birds story means and how ekta based anupre's love story off the story.

Agreed. It's Anurag who's gonna hold onto his love and get hurt.💔
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><font color="#222222">The thornbirds is a</font>novelby theAustralianauthorColleen McCullough. Plus a tv show in america was made a couple decades ago on it. Kasauti itself isn't based on the thorn birds story, but anu-pre love story is inspired by the thorn birds tale, which is why the tale was referenced via prerna this season. Once you understand the tale, prerna and anurag's star-crossed love story is very symbolic of the thorn birds tale. If you read the story fully, you do see how kasauti and anu-pre love story is very similar to the thorn birds story and the couple ralph-meggie, especially the originalkasauti is very similar to the thorn birds.</font>
