I always think that creatives are very unfair to children. Most of the things they show from adult's perspective - in the bargain, they show injustice towards children. Why is it so? Is it because child actors don't have fan following and people will not raise issues if children are not treated fairly instead only adult's sentiments are taken care of?
So what if my this belief led to so much mocking in forum that one person made a whole thread for me. I still feel creatives are very unfair towards children. Do they love drama so much? I still have not forgotten how the track included the girl in orphanage being made to believe Anandi is her mother and within minutes suffered heart break because Anandi recognised she is not her long lost daughter. Just to show Anandi's (an adult) disappointment, they did so much injustice towards the little girl. The orphanage incharge as well as Anandi could have checked details including the birthmark before letting the girl know. But for drama's sake they did opposite.
They show so much violence against little Nimboli. And that include possible prospective sexual violence also - what is the need to show so much about this angle that the very sight of Kundan has become repulsive? And why make a little girl talk like a dadi and always spying on her in-laws? If they want to gain sympathy towards Nimboli - at least stop this spying business.
In current Ratan- Mannu track again they are very unfair towards the child. They took care of Jagya, Ganga, Ratan and Bimala's sentiments. What about Mannu's sentiments? Drama can be created even without making a child go through so much turmoil and making his birthday a sad day for all his life. Why J wanted to tell Mannu is known, why Ganga did not want to tell Mannu is also known. Both of them were right in their own place. The issue was tricky - a ten years old child may not take this seriously and therefore it may not harm him. It is also possible that a ten years old child will alienate himself from the family after getting to know that he does not belong here - that only his mother is his real relative here. Ratan's sentiments were also understandable - he wanted to meet his son one last time before his death and Bimala wanted to fulfill his only son's wish. All this was still possible - if the track was changed and instead of dying in arms of Mannu - Rat felt happy and in time may be cured of his disease. But they wanted high voltage drama and gave the child so much shock in a very short span of time.
BV has shown very progressive track from time to time. They have shown widow remarriage, widow applying haldi to would be bride, menhdi on widows, widows playing holi etc. etc. Why they still turn to age old belief again? What Bimala desired (Mannu giving mukhagni to Rat) was selfish and due to age old norms. But what happened to DS, J, Ganga and even Anandi? Is it correct that to get mukti - son has to give chita me agni? They could make Ganga/J/DS or Anandi tell that it is not necessary. They can arrange for cremation on humanitarian ground, but they will not let Mannu to go through so much shock - that it will be unfair towards Mannu. (I don't remember clearly but perhaps they did show Anandi giving mukhagni to her mother - why not show something even now?) Why give in to Bimala's belief as if that is the universal truth?
And again the spoilers are grim - do they want to make a sensible child into a runaway child and in all this crisis finding solace in his girlfriend? What has happened to BV? I wish they see this post and understand that there are people who think from the child's viewpoint also.
