Anandi is presumed to be lead by example character.

She is not meant to be a mere biwi bahu n mother but have the character grown enough to be an example.

Shiv was the show stopper for Anandi s growth. So kill shiv pack off Anandi ki sasra. But what is the end result.

1. Anandu taking charge of BH problems. gurdian to jagya counsellor to ganga. She has been doing since day one.and she does it.now. Reason BV has to prove the kacche umar ki pakka rishta.

2. Anandi used to carry tray and make food at K B. Eminent anandi fans could not Bear this. But now she carries tea.cup.for DS and make parathas for BF and cook sabji for dinner. May be this.is also essence of BV carrying trays at balak var s.house is no.offence.

3. Anandi used to run.bhaili now she runs SN.She was not made even chief minister of rajasthan. She should.have been made India Gandhi on screen.

4. Anandi the perfect bahu of.BH the saviour of jagya could not save shiv from death neither she could be with his family. I cannot compare her as a mother of jagya s.child and.that of shiv s.child.because there is no option. But she seems to be quite.cool.about losing nandini. and quite happy in her world with BH and jaitser. Shivam is just there but anandi is more concerned for Abhi mannu n her girls in SN.

So where do I put Anandi as a role model.

But I appreciate the fans of Anandi who just keep on supporting her this is called.true love.

One thing is true, viewers have lost interest in anandi-nimboli union... whether she finds her daughter or not, it hardly matters.

Anandi has moved on and her poor daughter, other than wondering sometimes why her mother must have dumped her, seems to be okay and happy with her life.

The girl will find her own way and become a strong woman when she grows big. She does not need anandi.

Anandi has stopped growing ever since she re-married.

The most beautiful phase of A's character growth was when J dumped her. She evolved as a person (character) by keeping her focus intact, and doing whatever she could for herself and others without looking back. Instead of counting her losses she counted her gains and moved on with Education, career, respect in society and also developing her village.

She had all the support from Bhairon, but two more hands joined - Dsa and Basant. And this allowed Anandi to reach the heights that she had always wanted to. Credits to Anandi for her journey. It was certainly her hardwork

Then her zeal reduced. She was happy being Shiv's wife mostly (I don't mind that) but since makers claim Anandi to be face of change, she was no longer a face of change. Whatever Anandi does / did post her re-marriage till now, every ordinary woman belonging to rich / influential families can do.

Within her work, there is no strategy or planning (we can't always assume that things are happening in the background). We need to see that to feel the empowerment coming across. To me that empowerment never came across either through Bhaili or SN, but felt that empowerment / hardwork during her sarpanch days.

Post her marriage she has always been all over the place. Impractical and stagnant.

Anandi's character now is like that of a lost sheep... She is there just because the show is there. Otherwise she could be eliminated from the show and she would barely be missed.

I conclude that makers wanted to show us that life of Balika vadhu is always not great and even the abandoned ones have a right to live. They showed us a fairy tale through Anandi-Shiv, which was indeed a beautiful creation. And also showed us lot of other widows/ abandoned women getting an opportunity to re-live life. Happy to see that.

I don't think there is much about women empowerment in the show. Not for the lead at least.

Somebody doesn't get startled or disturbed by the sound of voice so much if it doesn't affect them so deeply.The very fact that Anandi still gets disturbed the sound that voice tells how much that memory of her daughter being snatched away bothers her.So it is wrong to say that she has moved on.

Over 7 years they have shown us how she hides all her sorrows and pains deep inside and gets on with life

That little girl despite getting love fromt Mangala she still pines for her mother and has so many questions to ask her but she is too caught up with what is happening in the life that is staring at her just like the way her mother is caught up in solving the problems that are staring at her

So the question of Nandini/Nimboli not needing her mother or Anandi getting over her lost daughter doesn't arise at all.People love to believe that Nandini doesn't require her mother because she has got Mangala. But CVs have shown how that little girl NEVER filled the space meant for her mother with Mangala.

Nandini will remain with Akheraj and family till the viewers accept them as independent characters and stop seeing them from Nandini's perspective.People for all their claims about being unbiased refuse to see those new characters from any other perspective except as people in Nandini's life.

Mangala will be called saint because she is nice to Nimboli/Nandini. All her short comings will be excused the message that CVs give through the way she conducts her own life is ignored.

Harki Kundan Akheraj will be monsters because they trouble her.But Harki is never seen as an independent character with her weaknesses

Akheraj is very much like Ratan but never seen from his own perspective.

Looks like CVs are interested in showing a lot more things through these character but since the viewers refuse to see them as independent characters they will keep Nandini there till they have exhausted the issues.

Don't understand why people who claim Balika Vadhu is equally about Balika Vadhu and her Var

don't see this Ver 2.0 in that way where it is about Kundan/Akheraj his family and Nandini instead see it only from perspective of Nandini

Until people start seeing Akheraj Harki Kundan and Mangala as independent characters like they look at Singhs of BH and not just as people in Nandini/Nimboli's life Nandini will remain with these people

Mother - Daughter story will get diluted by all these things.Because they want to increase the no of episodes and they want to continue with all those social issues which they want to take up.

Blame lies on the viewers who just see Akheraj family members as Nandin's sasural and fail to see the bigger story which is being told through these women Vs Akheraj.

Anandi can't be shown pining for her daughter everytime she comes on screen either.

If people want to see the mother's pain and daughter's longing it is all there.

I don't think viewers should be blamed for anything that they dislike or cannot appreciate. It is makers' responsibility to create an interest in viewers. Not promise something and deliver something else. If Akheraj and family hasn't left any impression as an individual character on viewers, it's not our fault, it is CVs. Probably they need to put their thinking caps and come up with something more intriguing rather than re-cycling old wine in new bottle.

Nandini's acceptance (or tolerance) has happened because she is AnSh daughter, not because makers have suddenly come up with V2 with an intent to make Nandini a leading BV.

For most viewers (at least me), the interest lied in HOW Anandi manages her life post Shiv and how she re-unites with her daughter while pursuing other daily activities of life. The interest was NEVER in how Nandini leads her life as BV.

Kundan is not a balak var to be felt for. Plus he is way too old for Nandini, so his needs / behaviour are very diff from what Nandini wants in this stage of life. There is no sync between them. Jagya and Anandi had too much of sync and they were totally worth watch. Jagya was a cute character, brat in his own ways but lovable too. I loved too many scenes of little Ja-An. Their fights, their emotional support to each other, their leg pulling and what not. Here I can't even stand Kundan's entry. So what is there is to appreciate in V2, except that at some point Anandi - Nandini will meet. And how Anandi will win Nandini's heart.

Till that happens we are okay with whatever Managala does for Nandini to keep her safe and happy. As long as Mangala is not purposefully harming Nandini, all her ways / methods are appreciated. She is being appreciated for what she COULD do, rather than being questioned for she does not have a capacity to do.

But the question still remains on how has Anandi grown in all this? She has only moved backwards. First by stepping back to BH and living there for 11 years, then sitting lightly over lost daughter's issue (no intensity, no zeal, no strategy) and then finally by actively being involved in BH matters (even if she doesn't stay there anymore).

Anandi's growth has always been happening in the background and they always found ways to dilute it.

It happened in post Jagya phase too. Most of the time she was shown going to school an coming back but all the drama was happening in Jagya Gauri's life and in Singh family as well,

More than showing Anandi studying she was shown in the kitchen or doing tel malish of Dsa's feet or solving Singh family problems.

In between there was Phooli's story where she helped her get the custody of her child and having tussles with Gauri when ever she crash landed at Jaitser and exchanging pleasantries with Jagya over the phone after they rekindled their friendship following kidnap rescue drama.

Even when she was sarpanch - the major drama was Basant drama and brothers seperating over this drama

Very little was shown what she did that school of hers.

---------------

Only when Shiv entered her life did we get to see how deep the wounds have been till then she was just moved on from break up she cried for a few days and that's it.It was never shown how much all this affected her as a person.

-------------------

Post marriage - Yes she gave up all that she worked for to be with Shiv and for her love.

She didn't dump her school she left it in capable hands of Gulli whom she has trained over years

She left Sarpanch post - which is anyway elected post.

Only thing she carried with her was her love for Singhs

What empowerment meant to Anandi she told this to Shekhar family before she started her work in Udaipur.

She wanted help the likes of Chanda fight their own battles. Empower them to fight their own battles and help them realise that empowerment is all about doing what feels right and what is right without the fear of society or the traditions or things that restrict them from fear of doing that right

Some people need education as a source of strength

While the likes of Chanda needed econmic freedom

Sanchi the highly educated girl from a very rich educated family which is well connected needed inner strength to fight a man like Saurabh

She clearly told Ira the reason for starting Bhaili is to enable women fight their own battles helping them do that.

She has always been that from her childhood days - trying to understand what each person needs to dd help himself/herself and providing that help.

Her Bhaili went on from conducting Sunday Bazars to exporting their products to far off places.How did that happen? After Anop tore through Bhaili by taking away her contracts and workers she rebuilt it without anyone's help how is that not taken into account?

For her education and a position are not only means to do that and even now through SN she is doing that, Her work obviously was making news otherwise how would a city girl like Nidhi find her way to Anandi who is working from village?

Didnt that Nidhi show the collage she made of Anandi's work from news paper cut outs?

People say that she doesn't care for her lost daughter she moved on and more interested in finding Mannu Pooja etc - Why doesn't it occur to people that she was so concerned about Mannu and Pooja because she knows how it feels when one can't find their own child?How it feels when a parent loses a child? Why is it not seen as someone who is empathetic towards parents of two children who are missing? Why is it not seen for what it is? A woman who is searching for a child for 11 years still feels the loss of her daughter but not blind to other people who are in pain?

Why is it so difficult to understand that her pain and longing for her lost daugheter is being reflected in her concern for Sarita Ganga and Jagya?

People who are facing similar experiences in life don't they bond with each other try to give strength to each other?

If she really longs for her daughter, she has and had all the means to find her. But she doesn't have the zeal to do so... just ocassionally remembering your daughter is just means to soothe an inner guilt. It cannot be considered as an effort undertaken to pursue a task.

if the only answer to allquestions is 'CVs diluted A's story' then why scrutinize every other character as individual character but only Anandi as merely CVs puppet.

Then for that matter all characters are Cvs creation and hence no character analysis should be done...

Nobody has given her a clean chit regarding the way she lost her daughter. Her bad judgement of a situation cost her daughter and I think thousands of posts were made on this.

Anandi herself holds herself guilty about this. Anandi is to be blamed for her daughter landing at Akheraj's place. Nobody denies this including Anandi's fans.

They needed Anandi to be at fault and low on morale to carry the story forward.Only Anandi who felt she committed a crime and deserved punishment would have accepted Daddu and Dsa's decision.

CVs have been successful in showing Anandi as the offender in her daughter ending up as Akheraj's DIL though it was purely unintentional and it did go with her character.They have not twisted her character there to get her child snatched away.She is emotional when she sees her loved ones are in danger and that fear does make her lose her marbles and does act foolishly.

As for the search for her daughter it is plainly the CVs fault at conveying that search despite being extensive has been unsuccessful.They could have written better scenes that convey that she has been doing her best but still not found her daughter. They could have conveyed this in two three minutes through montages showing Anandi searching or visiting police station going here and there.

While CVs have been succesful in making Anandi guilty party when it came to her daughter's life they didn't really do a good job in showing how her daughter was untraceable even after 11 years of intense search

Nobody is putting the blame on CVs blindly for the character's acts.

Agree with Missesha.

Now day by day this nimboli and urmi kitchen politics is become boring and repetitive.

and growth of nimboli character is too slow.

and yes there is no match between nimboli and kundan. kundan looks like her elder brother. she looks very small.

rather kundan and urmila pair is proper. Both look good with each other.

I thiink now cvs should stop showing nimboli competing for bindani no.1 competition . Because she doesnt look like kundan wife. she is too small.

and most of the viewers are watching to know how anandi and nimboli will reunite .

But sometime i really doubt whether anandi will get back her daughter or not. i feel cvs r killing time and fooling audience .

There was no roadblock showing Anandi s growth post her second marriage. What did they show - her affair with husband, HM and settling in her conjugal life, taking care of her in laws which is quite obvious for any married woman. The beauty of woman is making the best of both lives - personal and professional. Apart from that - she was made to get involved in every story of jagya - his third marriage, his political win. And for KB she was made to solve problems of MIL fight, Shiv's problem, Sanchi's problem. Her Bhaili, her soical work cam mostly in dialogue and glimpses.

What would have been harmed if she was shown to study more, making Bhaili a international name. CVs with their love for Jagya made him MLA but Anandi could have been a MLA at Udaipur too if it got into CVs brain. Do not we have woman MLAs in our country who are married and have a family.

The story developer herself has kids, husband and career too. But for Anandi she thinks she is best fit to be a support for ex husband's story or current husband's family story. WIth such a constipated thought how can the story teller says she is great follower of WIN.

Her story of single mother in her daughter's search- what are the visuals - Pre leap there was some human cry.

Post leap - the story of mother's search for daughter what do we find:

1. Anandi has made GURUKUL to fight Bal Vivah and she is waiting for her good deed to reap the benefits and her daughter will fall from the sky on her lap.

2. She and her BH family has searched Nandidni a lot - One dialogue from DS when shivam saw Nandini s picture.

3. One phone call from inspector about her daughter. All her meetings with Nandidni is by accidental, otherwise no where there was a single scene where she is doing something to find her. Where as for Mannu and Pooja, she is all full of suggestion and ideas.

4. Anandi remembering her daughter - one scene of suitcase full of gifts, one scene while eating, one scene cutting her finger, two scenes seeing photo. or may be one or two more. Even after meeting Nandini for first time, she just narrated the story to her GANG. She never had the urge to meet her again. And after meeting Nandini so many times, she never feels the urge to meet her again - a child whom a mother has actually nurtured in her womb - the attraction is automatic.

5. They made her move to SN - which could have been a good background to show her bond with Shivam. It started too but again BV cannot run without BH being the main story. So they started Mannu Pooja drama. And Shivam went down the drain.

6. Even in Mannu Pooja they could have shown SN being at alter and how she saves it. But CVs have no will to show Anandi s story.

NOW I FEEL ANANDI AT SN WILL MAKE BH THE VENUE FOR DOSTI OF AKERAJ FAMILY AND BH FAMILY. SO ONE SIDE IT WILL BE SNK kitchen politics. On the other hand BH and Jhalara dosti story. In between hit n miss of MS.A and MR.A. BV runs for another 7 years.
