When fact and fiction combined and confused us

When fiction met fact.

Yesterday, it was a traumatic day for all Balivadhu watchers and fans. Balikavadhu is at the cross roads. Some characters are dying. Some are in a dilemma. There are whispers about the show coming to an end.

Why this sudden storm is happening? Why the hospital is being attacked? Why dadisa has to witness all this before dying? Why dark clouds are still hovering over?

On the other hand our beloved Pratyusha and her tragic exit. What a bolt from the blue! Yesterday it was a fun day. according to our calender. Fooling everyone with clever tricks. But fate played on us the crullest joke. First we could not believe it and as every news channel started telecasting the news, we were forced to believe. Hindi channels showed footage of the actress but almost all of the english channels felt it is below their dignity to show footage of a mere hindi tv persona. They will telecast only about hollywood trash and bollywood trash. Our Pratyusha is not a great bollywood star though she had the potential to be one.. But for avid viewers of BV, she struck a chord as the pretty, petite anandi who captured our imagination as the simple rajasthani girl whose relationships and equations with every other character became the most discussed subject. Everyone loved or hated her but none was indifferent.
And Pratyusha did full justice to her role as long as she was there. Many left watching the show when she left the show. Such was her impact.

With a heavy heart,

Leaves,

She will always stay with us for years to come. Maybe our next generations won't know who she was or was just another actress who committed suicide, but for us she will always be remembered as Anandi, as the girl who had all the difficulties in her life but knew how to fight them. She said she is like Anandi but Anandi would never do that, so why did you do it ?.. You have created holes in your fans lives.You'll be missed.

Yes, she had everything that many young girls dream of. She achieved so much in her short life, gathered so many admirers. I know of some of the blogs dedicated purely to her.

The reason maybe depression, a feeling of emptiness. We all feel like that on some occasions but we try to become cheerful by talking to someone close to us or immersing ourselves in work or trying to help someone who is less fortunate than us. There are so many ways to overcome momentary helplessness. Just thinking tomorrow maybe a better day. Visting friends or inviting them. Planning for the future. Or having a pet to care for.

BV has given us some of the most memorable characters like Anandi, Jagya, Dadisa, Shiv, Ganga, Shyam, Bhairon, Sumitra and Jhalrawasis. And many more. I am glad to have been part of this forum, walking with the characters and forum members on a daily basis, forgetting my own problems for a while.
An escape route.

Just one thought. After playing a character like Anandi, how could she think of ending her life?

Behind every smiling face, there maybe some hidden sorrows. Dark shadows looming long.

Why youngsters dont think of the pain caused to their parents when they take these decisions?

The glamour world has a dark underbelly. As we saw in many movies like Heroine, Fashion, Kagaz ke Phool. Pyaasa etc. A sparkling bubble one moment and nothing the next moment.

As for the fights in the forum I stopped taking them seriously. It looks rather childish after a time. All are friends but with different perspectives. I try to respect their views and try to look things from their point of view.

Last night I came over to the forum after I was done with watching BV and Udaan.

why BV is ending in tragic way i dont understand.

now i m thinking BV was inspirational serial or not ?????????

see the coincident in serial Anandi character is ending and in reality actress who played anandi in past really died.

now may be makers will bring some one as balikavadhu but Anandi is Anandi.

I think instead of dragging serial they could have shown victory of truth on evil .

right you are the serial should now end on akhiraj, harki and kundan's jail...good winning over evil ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Such unfortunate coincidence.

On screen Anandi's character is coming to end and in real life, the girl who played Anandi once meets such tragic end

Both these things are representative of darker side of showbiz in a way.. Onscreen it is race of TRPs, whatever reasons for stretching the shows endlessly, creative differences, pressures and so many other things. In real life it is the cost one has to pay for being part of the showbiz.

It took me more than 24 hours to sink in the news and come back to senses.. Still wondering despite the mess that her life was in, wouldn't it have been possible to avoid such an extreme step..

Yes, she should have avoided it. Atleast for the sake of impressionable young girls who try to emulate their idols. For the sake of her parents. For the sake of her fans. For the sake of her beautiful face which should have given happiness to many who watched her onscreen. She should have thought about people who are born blind, who are paralysed, who face lethal diseases until the last and who think that we have only one life and not to throw away that. My message for future Pratyushas. Please take life's problems as a challenge than succumb to them. Think of your loved ones.

It's a really bizarre co-incidence.
