As we all have heard about the New promo it's clear Nisha was physically abused in childhood. No big deal, it was evident from quite a sometime.

But this time I'm disappointed with myself, because I failed to see beyond my limits. I was so engrossed in the whole marriage drama that I couldn't see how long it takes a parents to understand that something went wrong in their child's life that her life took 360 degree U turn.
The clear message which CV's wanted to show that sometimes when you see a devastating change in your child's life you need to dig into the matter. You need to find out what went wrong. You need to talk to your child. You need to protect your child. You need to be their supporting system. You need to tell them they will always stand by you.
Ramesh and Laxmi failed badly as being a parent. Because they couldn't protect their child. It was the other way round. At age of 15 Nisha took the responsibility on herself of protecting her family. Though we should be proud but I guess sometimes you have to let it go, you have to let others protect you.
I don't know what damage this truth will do but one thing is for sure the entire family will be devastated. Even after having so many differences I hope they realise how they failed their child.
Harsh but CV's did their best to show the bitter side of Indian families. I hope people get the message from the show.
This show is definitely UNIQUE.
P.S- Ignore the typos please.

I wish my parents watched this serial and could understand my pain which only my friend understood when ever i see saurav i remember my friend who also left me in this world all alone .

Its commendable that such a sensitive topic is taken by the show. I hope and pray that they handle the issue with the same sensitivity till the end.

Taking the track and the general scenario into account, the incident has a huge role to play before pointing fingers at who is responsible. Same is the case with Nisha. We cannot say Ramesh and Lakshmi hadn't been good parents or has failed. Like the way Lakshmi questioned Nisha today, Ramesh and Lakshmi could have Nisha even before too. The same way Nisha didn't answer today, she might have not answered then too. Both might haven't felt the urgency to get deep into the matter as they would have found Nisha behaving perfectly normal with just few changes.

Now another question is why couldn't Nisha share her problems with her parents. I don't think Ramesh or Lakshmi would over react, or may blame her. They seem to be understanding parents. Then why? According to my reasoning, the incident would have been such that Nisha herself is so ashamed of that she is just not able to share it with anyone. The incident would tarnish her image, her parents image and her family image so much that she might have considered to keep it within herself. Or she could have been blackmailed into keeping it a secret.

With Lakshmi knowing her truth, what would be her next move? Should she tell Nisha that she knows the truth now? Should she share it with Ramesh and both of them together be the pillar of strength for Nisha? Or let Nisha come around by herself?

I think girls need to be given good knowledge about proxemics. They need to know the distance which men/women should main when having a conversation with them. Jwala had no clue about that. Same way, boys too should be taught about the distance they need to maintain. Parents do hold responsibility to educate their children about this.


Totally agree here
Nothing more to add

oh boy, are you trying to say that Nisha is at fault that she din tell her problem to her parents??
I will say watch the first episode of satyamev jayte season 1 thn maybe you will realise what trauma a child goes when he/she is physically abused. How at first a child try to tell everything to his/her mother but parents fails to take up all the little hints.
Yes Ramesh and Laxmi failed as a parents. I am not saying they are not protective but still they failed to protect.
Why it took 8years to meet a counsellor?
Why they din realised their daughter has changed out of the blue?? Because Laxmi said to Ramesh idk what happened but our Nishu changed drastically??
Why they din realised their daughter stopped playing the game which she loved?? It took 8years to realise it that oh Nisha was very good at games but she stopped without any pressure?
Why they din take Nisha to a therapist or doctor when she had some weird dreams??

yup, this show now reminds of satyamev jayte's first season first episode. It was on same topic. N i still remember the story of guy who was raped by his own uncle that too for years.. Oh my god. That was horrifying. Still CV's have very carefully handled this topic. I am so impressed.😊


hug baccha. yes it does. sexual abuse scars for life. it is the ultimate harm one can do to a child

when did i ever said nisha is at fault????
This is the issue where neither parents nor that child should b blamed..
Now my question is to u do u know whether they tried talking to her at that time or not??
My only question has always been y cudnt they nvr realized that something somewhere is gng wrong 8 yrs back!! Well idk what's the exact reason but as they hv come up with the idea nisha refuses to wear lehenga in Dollys wedding thr must b something which they r gonna reveal related to her parents as well as to how nd y cudnt they notice nisha hv changed drastically

I think it would be better to wait and watch as to what exactly happened before pointing fingers at who is wrong. The reason being..take the current track. Is Jwala wrong? Of course she is. How can she trust some unknown stranger and go out without telling anyone? What if Nisha had done the same? Trusted her wrong friends? So it will all be speculation and I would say speculation is very insensitive in this matter.

It would again be wrong to say Ramesh and Lakshmi didn't notice the change. Of course they know she has changed. But they didn't probe in quite as much as Lakshmi has done now. They wouldn't have thought in the worst possible case that something as bad as this could have happened to their daughter. We know it, because the show has depicted it in such a way that we know she is troubled. Have they failed as parents? May be. But failed would be a strong word to use. And their result would depend on how they support after knowing the truth.

I agree with most of your post, especially in regards to the message. But I completely disagree with the assumption that Laxmi and Ramesh failed as parents. No way.

Laxmi and Ramesh ARE Nisha's support system. When Nisha had the nightmare, she went to her dad. She went to him because she trusted him to keep her safe and help her through the nightmare. Laxmi is the only person Nisha even allows near her, physically. That also speaks of the trust, comfort, and support she accepts from her mother. Nisha's relationship with her parents is beautifully depicted.

As for Laxmi and Ramesh not figuring out the truth, I think there's a lot of factors at play. It would be wrong and simplistic to blame Laxmi/Ramesh or even Nisha.

We can gather from the fact that Nisha was childhood best friends with Sourav + her appreciation for sports, that she was never really a super girly girl. If she received awards for her sports, that means she was dedicated to them, kind of like Jwala and her academics. Thus, she probably didn't mind wearing Indian clothing, but wasn't obsessed with looking all pretty and girly like Kirti. Therefore when she stopped wearing suits, her parents probably took it as a teenage thing (because she was a teen).

Teenage years are very difficult for parents and people to manoeuvre. Honestly, I can totally see Nisha's parents chalking up her changing behaviours (not being all touchy-touchy with boys, stopping sports, refusing to wear Indian clothes, etc) as a product of teenage changes. There are girls who are just like Nisha, in regards to the clothing they prefer, etc., who haven't been abused.

Abuse itself manifests differently in people. Some people go into shock and think it never happened (which is what Nisha has done to some extent I think). Others pretend that it never happened. Others make their voices be heard and bring light to their situation. I don't think there's a general guideline that tells how an abused person reacts.

Also, I think it was very good of Laxmi to prob the matter. She took initiative after noticing and realizing that Nisha's behaviours were different. Heck I think her mom was great in even considering the fact that something happened. Some parents don't even consider that.

So yeah, I don't consider Laxmi and Ramesh bad parents.

But I definitely do agree that this show is bringing to light some great issues, especially the one of realizing how long it can take to realize that someone could be abused.

Nd yes my point is the same..
How wud her parents know that something this much horrible has happened to her??
Her father still thinks my daughter is normal..use kuch nahi hua hai even after Laxmi tries telling him something went wrong as to y she gets so much scared of those horrified dreams..they obviously know something has changed her but failed to get what that thing exactly is!! Nd i m eagerly waiting to unfold mystery behind this issue
