What kind of regressive baloney is this? The man can get his girlfriend pregnant, have her stay on in his house, be engaged to her but his ex-wife merely for the sake of having taken the pheras with him is obligated to keep the vrath for his long life?? This from a man who knew not the importance of the saath pheras, who made a mockery of marriage just to please his stupid sister? Warewah!
If Abhi in fact loves Pragya in whatever roop, Fuggy or Mugamo, and wishes heart of hearts that she cares for him enough to keep this vrath, it would be understandable. But to berate her and act like he is entitled to her fasting for him is just so incomprehensible and distasteful.
As for Sarla, cannot stand that woman, constantly cribbing, constantly creating a drama, constantly behaving like a 5 year old who wants to hog all the attention and importance, she is enough to drive anyone batty.
Why was everyone standing there silently letting the woman rant and rave? Why couldn't Daadi have shut her up and said your daughter is no longer married to my grandson and so as he is no longer her husband, she does not need to fast for him? In fact, the fast would serve no purpose as it is kept for ensuring the longevity and health of the pathi and Abhi is not Pragya's pathi so the fast would be futile.
The whole epi was regressive and demeaning to Pragya, she has to put up with all the crap that is dealt her including infidelity but she is still required, expected, and mandated to fast for the welfare of her ex-husband soon to be spouse of his girlfriend. Great lesson for women.
