Definition of hero?!! - Page 2

@bold-I have a slightly different opinion. Yes people didn't like pree agreeing to marry Navin. But where in the world did they reject the idea of her having doubts on him. Trying to fight him back would have been welcomed. Infact it was her battle to fight not Anurag's. Reducing Prerna to glorify Anurag is the worst thing that is happening.

Yeaaa I agree the makers faced a big backlash of sorts when they showed Prerna simply accepting the proposal. But that is a sure shot indication people wanted, or should I just say want, to see Prerna fight Naveen back.

It maymsound harsh but one of the major reasons Anurag Naveen track is working is because hes fighting it. Imagine Anurag simply accepting everything Naveen does. Do you think that would have been accepted? Ofcourse not, the reason why Naveen Prerna track didn't work is because audience is smart these days and two wrongs (blackmailing and accepting blackmail) don't make a right.

Makers would do well to analyze why a track doesn't work instead of reducing the lead to a show piece.

Ps. I'm no hater, just a disappoint viewer

Its great to see and read different perspectives..

I think the problem lies with the ITV.. They have always portrayed women to be super woman ie (Ishita, Akshara, Gopi, Tulsi, Parvati even Prerna S1) where as man have always either portray angry man who hides all their emotions behind their anger or they were just there doing nothing...

Like I said before, we are still in the initial phase, both Anurag and Prerna are right in their own way.. One is fighting with herself for the love of her family whereas the other is fighting for someone he cares for..

I don't think we have any right or wrong here.. Its all about perspective... They are both heroes like Diwali scene..

Mohini was on and on about how smart Anurag is but in the end it was Prerna who saved herself and the family before the police arrived..

The fact is nobody is perfect.. Be it Anurag or Prerna..

I believe the only person who will unknowingly bring out the strength in Prerna would be Anurag.. No one can hurt or break Prerna other than Anurag.. So far, she just got on with everything, she isn't playing the victim.

Loved this post.

This is the point I was trying to make in a post I created called the glorification of Anurag.

I may have gone a step further in saying that the narrative of the serial further reinforces the manner in which Anurag is portrayed as a hero and Prerna as silly. And this narrative is picked up the audience.

She protects the Durga idol but the scenes after that ignore this and focus on him rescuing the chunari and her. Why?

He constantly putting her reputation as risk by dancing with her even though he will be the first to admit that he does not believe in love. She is called stupid for being impulsive when it come to her family and he is heroic.

She is a middle class girl who is shown to work hard at night to help her moms business and he is a rich boy who ignores the rudeness his mom to her and her family.

I actually like the characters of Anurag and prerna - equally - which is to say both have good and bad in them. What i hate is this idolisation of Anurag.

I think the writers were developing both characters well but they have lost track in the last couple of weeks in over working the Anurag angle.

I even find some of the comments to your post mind boggling because the reinforce the fact society and even we women will call the same thing done by a man and a woman by completely different names because we hold men and women to different standards.

At times even I wonder whether the writers had thought that Prerna's this decision will be lauded by the audience thus wanting to drive the story around that with her pov or because it backfired they took the alternative approach of driving the story around Anurag calling out her stupidity just like a reflection of the audience mind.. Because Anu says "you have made world record in making mistake" looks like written with the audience in mind calling out her mistake.. 😕

I am not sure which came first.. the chicken or the egg.. Anyway let's see if Prerna has some second thoughts about Navin after so much drama.. At least this girl should know more about her would be husband.. 😉

The difference is Anurag isn't ruining his life by trying to save Prerna/ expose Navin. He can easily get back to his studies, and once the truth is out, his mother too would have to support him. Prerna, on the other hand, is ruining her life, that too for the sake of a house. A more appropriate solution would have been to discuss this with her family, so that the family as a whole can get together to solve the problem... this is what any of us normal people would do.

Very interesting discussion! The gist is both did heroic deed but one was lauded and the other was termed as stupid. I feel this is because of several reasons. Initially CVs thought of having parallel between Bajaj and Naveen. Both were middle aged, Bajaj could be older as he had grown up kids, both employed unfair tactics to get married to Prerna. In season1, Prerna got sympathy from audience when she had to marry Bajaj. But in season2, there was a huge backlash. Audience did not sympathize with Prerna instead ridiculed her as stupid. That is where the script backfired. I don't think CVs envisaged this. They had got married Prerna to middle aged Bajaj and the marriage went on to become successful in season1 to the extent that even in this season some people are waiting for Bajaj2.0. So what exactly was the problem in this season?? I feel
