In today's episode, the acting done by Mangla was magnificent. Her expressions, her dialogues were mind blowing. The pain of a mother getting separated from her daughter was potrayed so well by her.
The reason why people still watch Balika Vadhu is because of its storyline and the actors in it. :)

Yes agree, mangala was superb.

She moved the audience with her acting skills and made them sympathise with her though she was wrong partly... but anandi, being the lead, could not evoke sympathy from anyone.

I felt nothing about the grand union.

In fact I am wondering how can anandi be happy by making another woman unhappy ? How will she be able sleep peacefully at night when she has done injustice to someone?

Its was true acting showing how mental she is. After telling lies and brain washing Nimbolli and still thinks that she done nothing.

I have been watching this serial for a long time and unless I am blind I did not see her motherly love for Nimbolli. It only came out when it suited her.

The need to be called Mother only appeared out of the blue when she found out that CC who Nimbolli liked was her really mother.

Even after knowing how Nimbolli was yearning for her mother she made up stories about her mother and even insulted shiv when she compared him to Akhriaj. So sick.

She knew all along that Nimbolli was abducted and still did nothing and she knew that Anandi was desperate to meet her daughter and she even tried to spoil a brother and sister relationship.

No Anandi had not done injustice but should have handed them all over to the police in for abducting her daughter.

No how could Mangala sleep at night after telling lies.

No Nimbolli was right to say that she is evil.

Rajeshwari is a good actress ...but sorry! even her good acting made me felt nothing for Mangala .

Very happy with the episode. Served Mangala right for abusing the massive blind trust placed on her by kamli, Nandini, & Anandi.

Kamli was the one who encouraged her to escape after revelation, trusted & supported her all along , but seeing how manipulative her teesa could be , even she changed sides. Harki - Akheraj though invented the dumping story, they never harped on it for some ulterior motives, unlike Mangala.


Nandini's heartbreak was expected & necessary to break her blind trust in her teesa-turned-maa . Poor girl shared her every thought & feelings with her and believed & obeyed her every word willingly or not. Even after fake mother revelation & all, she got angry with Anandi for slapping her Maa, since she didn't believed that her Maa could be "this" wrong. Only after all the expose , she realized the truth .


Anandi was anyways blindly trusting Mangala bcoz she believed & understood her love for a child she supposedly has taken care of for 12 years. She was ready to share her kid with Mangala. Nobody from BH too told anything hinting permanent separation between N & M unless to put a stop on M's "mhaari chhori" jaap or to make it clear to M's attitude of "only she cares for the girl" or she has supreme authority on that girl.
The people surrounding Anandi even doubted M & tried Anandi to see through it. But it took shivam's confession plus fake mother revelation for Anandi to ultimately understand what Mangala really wanted to do.


The whole attitude of Mangala that since Nandini was the only bright thing in her otherwise grim life, since She was the one who took care of her as a child as she claims, She has sole right on that girl irrespective of the girl's wishes & feelings, irrespective of the girl's future & fortune, & irrespective of a another woman's feelings who never abandoned/given her daughter to anyone by her own will. This "since only i was there for you in past, your world must start & end only with me, my wishes & my commands & no one else" attitude had cost her Nandini & her mental balance . Nobody else is responsible for her state other than herself.



Well if its easy to continuously blame Anandi for something that was more of a accident due to the turn of events which had gone a way unexpected to her.
If its easy for her to blame for not doing enough to find her daughter back then , bcoz it was never shown in detail .

Same way , it was easy for me to not believe in M's claims of being a mother to N bcoz it was never, shown that way post leap ever.
Neither its hard for me to digest her height of manipulativeness , bcoz she was never shown as a lady of truth or righteousness when it comes to things of her desire & fancy, right from her entry holi devi act.

Anyways, Glad with the Anandi-Nandini-Shivam Reunion.

Agree with you..

Rajeshwari is fabulous actor.. done justice to the part Mangala..

Today I did not felt any sympathy for Mangala .. Nimboli.. Maari choori, mari ladooo... she got what she deserved . all the good deeds she done for that little girl washed away due to her lies and manipulations. Hope she will accept the fact her Nimboli infact is Nandini and moves on with her life..

Not everyone will sympathize with mangala.
To feel sympathy for someone like mangala, you got to see beneath the skin.

Someone, who is conditioned to think that only the lady who got everything on a platter and who lived the life of a queen from the age of 8 as always right no matter what, will not be able to see the pain of a destitute.

And yes anandi deserves a gold medal for first ruining her daughter's life and then the woman's life who raised her daughter.

Today got to see anandi's double face and hypocrisy very closely.
When DB had almost killed her with drugs, she said nothing to her. She pretended as if nothing happened... why? Because she was the rich old man's sister.

But the same anandi had no mercy on the woman who raised her daughter with love... Mangala cried before her and told how others made jhulm on her daughter and how she cared for her... But anandi;s heart did not melt.

Anandi said to her, I had seen mamata in you...That means she agrees her love for nimboli was true... But she could not say - Let us forget everything and live together like a family..

How could anandi say that to a woman who was poor, helpless and who did not have a rich and influential family member?

How can we forget that in the past anandi had dumped her own poor mother to live with rich Singhs... why do I even expect that anandi will say Lets live together to a poor woman Mangala?... I think thats silly of me to expect this from her.

How will she be able sleep peacefully at night when she has done injustice to someone
?
How she was able to sleep peacefully after she lost her baby ? Have you ever heard her saying to Dsa , Jagya, to herself ... to anyone: '' this is all my fault'' '' I shouldn't take my sick baby to that dangerous place'' ,( even though she was reminded by everyone ) '' I should listen to the police'' ... where is my daughter, is she alive, is she hungry, is she crying ...Oh sorry, I remember now, she blamed Devi maa for her daughter's miseries. Obviously she was able to sleep peacefully because she never regretted her decision nor she felt guilty. Its just that the Real mothers usually do blame themselves if something bad happens to their children , even though they themselves did nothing wrong -but there is always that doubtful point '' I wish I'd done things diferently. ''But I never saw that question of conscience in Anandi.

As for Mangala it will be the same as it was with Shekars -Anandi never apologized or admitted it was her mistake instead Shekars apologized to her and Anandi acted as if she was forgiving them, as if she made no mistake but they made a huge mistake by holding her responsible.
This is the way things work in Anandiland and that is why I felt nothing about the grand union. But I really sympathise with Mangala for many reasons, even though she was wrong too.

Rajeshwari Sachdev is a very good actress.Her performance was outstanding in that scene.But still I found it difficult to buy Mangala's explanations.
The last two episodes gave some wonderful performances from the three ladies Surekhaji Rajeshwari and Toral.The little girl did a great job too considering the fact that she had to match up in terms of these three ladies.Toral who started off as just about average performer has matured into a good performer.

What she said about herself was something I have said it many times before in this forum.She is very attached to that child because of all the happiness that child brought into her life.What she feels for the child never looked like a mother's love for her child.The child's entry gave her some purpose and meaning to her life and the child is her life support system.That is the reason why she is clinging on to that child not because she feels Maa ki mamta for that child.If it had been Maa ki Mamta then she would have understood the other ma and tried to come to an understanding with the other mother.

Mother's love is not just about experiencing happiness rom children but also comes from doing something for the children, thinking of ways to make children happy, trying to secure their future preparing her children for a life without her and so much more. All these things are something I have not seen in Mangala any where right from the begining.

Sure did she save the child from trouble once in a while and lent a hearing ear to the child when she needed some one to talk to.The child managed to learn how to save herself from Akheraj and family as time went by.She would have survived even without Mangala.

Coming to the so called virtuous nature of the lady.She was not the most righteous or virtuous from the time the character was introduced.She could be as unscrupulous as Akheraj and Harki if her interests are threatened.
This lady who could respect Harki's rights over the child and sit and watch Harki torture the child could not sit and watch Anandi pour her love over the child neither did she have respect for Anandi's rights.Why? Because Harki was no threat to her happiness while Anandi posed a threat to her happiness.As long as the person is no threat to her or her interests she doesn't care how evil the person is but if she perceives threat she doesn't care about the person how ever good she/he might be.

Her sufferings and miseries in life are only partly due to circumstances and people around her but the major reason for her sufferings is her own self and her way of looking at life and her attitudes.
