Defending DMG's Adoption Track...

Dear members....

I have noticed a lot of posts questioning the adoption details on DMG. I have just thought of some theories defending the same. Please bear with me and read these patiently and assess their viability.

To start with, lets clear the year on the Adoption Deed. Yes it says 1982 and we were told by a press release that Ridz is 21 and Anji is 22. Please remember that it was only a press release and not facts given by the creatives or producers of the show. The same press release also talks of an Anji-Ridz-Armaan triangle, evidence of which hasn't appeared on the show yet.

Also it is entirely possible that the show is not set in 2007. It could be a pre dated show set in 2004. 1982 then, corroborates both the press release and the show details. A lot of shows adopt this style of narrative.

Next the Sanjeevani connection....in Sanjeevani, we see that Anjali is Shashank and Smriti's daughter, but Shashank's not aware of it cos he and his wife are separated due to the death of their son Karan. Smriti must've already conceived Anjali before the separation and must've been in the very early weeks of pregnancy. It is possible that Padma and she were pregnant around the same time and therefore all discrepancies are automatically sorted out.

Here are some possible ways how...

One option is that Shashank and Smriti decide to adopt Ridz, but then due to their separation she has to be sent to an orphanage (the lonavla one, since Ridz knows Bua so well) and she is then retrieved from there once Shashank and Smriti re-unite.

Another explanation is that maybe the adoption deed itself was made much later and Ridz is actually older, but since she made a later entry into the little Gupta family, Baby Anjali was told she is her little sister to avoid questions. A lot of kids are told stories like these to explain adoption.

As to why Anjali and Ridz never questioned their birth dates being so close to each other...gimme a break!!! Have you heard of no family where two siblings are less than a year apart? So what if Shashank and Smriti are doctors, I know of one such doctor family where an accident just after the birth of their first daughter resulted in another baby girl just 11 months down the line. Unless contraceptives are used, such accidental conceptions are very common considering a lot of people think breast feeding automatically saves them from pregnancy....but that is just a myth!!!!!!

As for the birth certificate, it states legal parents' names. not the biological parents' names. Birth certificates are legal documents, not medical ones, so there is no need for the biological birth details!!

I hope that makes things a little clear and also makes some sense. Your opinions please!! Though I am waiting eagerly to see what explanation the creatives have for this major mess they've got themselves into!!!!

wow thanks dear..kinda reminded me of miss mansi from PRC section 😉

very well explained..but i doubt if makers will make it so clear to us..considering the fact the Ridhz bua was the same lady who was playing Rahul's mom in sanjivini...(i remember reading it somewhere)

I do not know Aarti... 😊
To tell you the truth...I am watching DMG just for its youthful, loving, and romantic environment....mostly only for AR and then Atul.
It really does not bother me what happens to the whole adoption issue or any other 😉 ...as long as AR are together and I get to see their soft and beautiful romance and Atul back to his lovely humorous self, etc.

I can just see everything else without paying much attention! 😉

thanks so much!!!

Ridz only calls her bua as she herself explained.

they have repeated some actors, but that can be forgiven, the producers probably have a set of actors loyal to them and therefore requested them to come back on the show as guest appearances. that's fair. they used this even a major production like friends...so why not here!!!

actor repitition according to me is not a blooper, its more a necessity driven move since they are looking for good performers and not hams even for their guest roles.

exactly my point sunin!!!! i love the show just because its so different and fresh and so not like anything else shown on indian tv currently! but i do get annoyed when i read these nitpicking bloopers cos i love the show so much. so i just wanted to defend some bits that i could.

its hard enough to write a show thats different and keep the melodrama and kekta twists out and sustain interest, minor errors are forgivable and not to be taken sooooo seriously. and everything can be explained if we have the heart and some tolerance towards the creatives!!!

even the copied scenes from SRK movies....every serial has it. they even copy entire dance sequences. recently the whole mohabbatein movie was depicted in KZK. why can't a few enjoyable scenes, done tastefully be used????

I completely agree with you there Aarti!
