The tragic tale of Gudiya will be incorporated into the serial
Sapana Patil
Gudiya's story has obviously caught the fancy of our storytellers.
The tragic tale of the girl who was trapped by fate when her
husband 'disappeared' and later returned from Pakistan where he had
been held prisoner, has already inspired Prabhakar Shukla to direct a
film in her memory titled Kahani Gudiya Ki. Now Star Plus's afternoon
soap Kumkum Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan will have a similar track introduced
in it story.
A channel source reveals, "Very soon Jatin (played by Anuj Saxena)
will regain his memory. Then will begin the trauma in Kumkum's
(played by Juhi Parmar) life."
When Jatin regains his memory, Kumkum will be in a dilemma. Should
she return to Jatin whom she was married to but who later went
missing, or should she continue to live with Sumit (played by
Hussain), her brother-in-law whom she married after Jatin was
presumed dead?
Incidentally, she was forced to marry Sumit when she was carrying
Jatin's child. Now she is pregnant with Sumit's child.
How Jatin regains his memory and whom Kumkum finally chooses to stay
with, will add the twists to the tale. At present, however, the
channel and the production house (BAG Films) seem undecided about the
turn of events. "We'll decide on the storyline, depending on audience
response," is all they're willing to say.
In the meanwhile, speculation is rife about the serial taking a
generation leap. Incidentally, this soap happens to be one of the
serials that has not had a generation leap in its story, so
far. "It's an idea, but we may not implement it just yet," says
Sanjay Upadhyay, creative head, BAG Films.
