Is anybody else feeling uneasy with the Shiv/Parvati parallel?

I know i'm putting my neck on the line by posting this but i'm hoping that my intentions will not be misunderstood. Maybe i'm being too sensitive or maybe i do have a valid point. I dunno. But i'm curious to know...

Is anybody else feeling uneasy with the literal depiction of mythology in the show?

Oh have you? Sorry, i haven't seen it.

I don't know about disapprove, but yes i do feel they need to be careful about what they are showing. They may end up hurting the religious sentiments of viewers if they don't handle the connection with care.

Yes it's the writers that i'm talking about. Subtle references are good but literal references is going a little far i think. Especially if the execution lacks logic too.

This is what i'm talking about, the writers could end up offending viewers with the parallels. Subtlety is key... they can do it, that they've shown us already.

I'm glad. 😆

Just feel a little uneasy with the writers mixing mythology with fictional characters to such an extent.

Also, consider this. Earlier, it was PaRud's innate personality traits that made the audience loosely link them with their namesakes. It was a natural connection. PaRud would just BE and the audience would themselves see connections. Now, it is shown that the characters (well Parvati at least) has decided that they are "exactly" like Bholenath and Ma Parvati and MUST behave in accordance with the nature of the deities. She has stopped acting based on what SHE thinks is right and stopped solving problems the way SHE may have earlier. Instead, she finds her solutuions in mythology. "Ma Parvati behaved in this way therefore I must behave in the same way." That seems to have become Paro's thought process.

I understand that your post is not meant to bash the show, it's creatives, or any religious belief. That is in fact why I felt the need to vocalize my support. I agree with you, however, I feel that even the best of shows are never consistent. Unfortunately, my expectations when watching a tv serial are extremely low haha. If this was a piece of literature, I would take this analytic approach, but I feel that because we are in the realm of Hindi serials, we must be prepared to lower out expectations and accept the fact that there will be inconsistencies. Despite that, RR has being doing a surprisingly great job so far and proving to be quite a different type of serial, hope it lasts.

Lastly, to those that are self proclaimed diehard PaRud fans, please note that having an opinion on the show, does not make us lesser fans. In fact, if anything we love the show just as much if not more than you bc we are expecting more from our beloved show, actors, creators. Responding to this or similar posts by saying "well maybe you should stop watching the show" is extremely immature and shows that you have completely missed the point the author of such posts is trying to make. I sensed that this post may receive such ill-thought comments and felt I must support this author.

Can't wait for tonight's episode!
