Just Out Of Curiosity! Reminder on Pg 2

Hello guys! 😊

This is my first post in this forum. I am mostly a silent reader and knew the basic plot of Barrister Babu. A couple of days ago, I came across this brilliant VM made on Anirudh and Saudamini in this forum and got so amazed that I decided to watch the show. 🤓

After watching the first 36 episodes, I felt certain things have been stretched too far whereas certain positive things are worth mentioning 👍🏼. Hence decided to post my opinion.

My intention is not to hurt any fan or any actor in particular. This is just my honest opinion and would love to know about your views too. 😊

Moving on………

I feel the best thing about this show is Bondita’s character. 👍🏼 I loved how the makers haven’t made her a Dadi Amma unlike some other shows in recent times where the kids were the protagonists or a really big part of the show. 👍🏼 I absolutely loved how they retained the innocence of a 8 years old and also showed her inquisitiveness without making it look superficial or forced. The girl has questions, she asks people and she too believes in certain norms taught by her mother - which makes her completely relatable. 🤗

Aurra is most definitely one of the best child actresses I have seen. 👏 Specially, considering her age and the importance of her character, I think it wouldn’t be too wrong if I say she is the best among the lot. 😎

The basic plot of the show is great and I really hope the makers don’t deviate much. 👍🏼

Which brings me back to my disappointment regarding the show. 🤔

Personally I felt both Anirudh’s and Saudamini’s characters have been written horribly. 👎🏼 Anirudh being the ML may improve with time but the way they have made Saudamini pitch black, I found it absolutely deplorable. 😡 🤬

From the beginning they have portrayed the relationship in such a way that it’s easier to claim Mini is not a good girl and Ani is great whereas I felt the opposite. 🤔

Which girl wouldn’t want to be appreciated by her lover? Who wouldn’t want to be the center of her beloved’s world? I don’t blame Mini for wanting Ani’s attention. They were childhood lovers and she kept waiting for him. So any girl would feel offended if suddenly that person starts singing praises of an unknown person’s letter. Yes, on the surface it looked shallow that she didn’t like Ani’s idea of changing the society and wanted to move abroad with him. But the underlying emotion wasn’t wrong.

Your mind setup depends on your environment too. Ani might have never wanted to change the society in the first place if he hadn't been insulted by a British in the party. Despite her intelligence, Boni still believed her Pati is her Parmeshwar because that’s what her mother told her.

So Mini being a privileged young adult who is also extremely pretty wouldn’t really know about the struggle of other women. Like any other person she just wanted an even better future with her love. I don’t blame her for that. Yes, she isn't the best, most generous person out there but she isn't essentially selfish too. She is just another normal human being for me.

I rather hated the writers for showing the longing and desire in such a negative way that the love of a young girls seemed like her obsession. 😡 😡 😡 Somewhere it suddenly started feeling like as long as you want someone for yourself, you are a born evil person. 😡 😡 😡

The heartbreak she felt at Ani’s betrayal and the way she reacted - it was all natural. In fact, I personally felt sorry at the scene when Ani fell unconscious and she immediately came out of her room. 🥺

But after that the way they have made her obsessed with her beauty and the dialogues they have written for her - disgusting is an understatement. And now with her plotting against Boni makes her despicable. Why was it necessary to paint Mini as pitch black? 😡 😡 😡

Coming to Anirudh’s character, I have the same issues. On the surface he is a really good person and I don’t disagree. But he has fundamental flaws in his traits. He is someone who behaves rashly and expects the others to accept those decisions. He did what he had to do to save Bondita but somewhere along the line I could not help but ask myself the question how fair was it to Saudamini? If she weren’t her fiancé but his wife, would he still get the sympathy he is getting now? The way he expected Mini to listen to his words - wasn’t it too idiotic on his part?

A relationship is an equal partnership. Without complete understanding you can’t be a good partner. If Mini was a bad partner for him because she wasn’t as generous as him, then I felt he was even worse as a partner who didn’t give a crap about her feelings, kept stalling the confession when he was well aware about her feelings and kept going on and on about his planning which didn’t include her.

Somewhere I felt him like Apurba from Tagore’s short story HOIMONTI where Apurba himself confessed he didn’t have to sacrifice anything. His life was complete. So suddenly when he noticed Hoimonti’s loneliness, he couldn’t understand how to help her.

Here Anirudh had his father’s money, received the best education and had a girl who was madly in love with him. So one incident and he went on a journey to initiate a change. But he didn’t think once for all those people who completed his life. 👎🏼 👎🏼 👎🏼

I found him to be a worse partner than Mini. Even now, when he is trying to help Boni in his own way, he is mostly imposing his decisions upon the little girl.

I really wish, the makers hadn’t chosen this route. Neither for Anirudh nor for Saudamini. A young guy fighting for his kid wife would be amazing anyway without a third angle who got butchered without any reason. And the young guy is written in such a way that apart from his one act of saving a little girl, all other decisions speak highly of his volatile nature - definitely not suitable for a leader or someone who wants change in the society.

Hi nushy 😊

Welcome to the BB forum 😊

First of all you can point your honest views and opinions here without any hesitation as we BB'ians are open minded will take the critics in positive way and reply with humours 😆

So as you love to know about our views , commenting here as one of the viewer 😉

"Aura is doing justice to the character Bondita, that kid is just awesome, she is just the way the character need chulbulisi, eagerness to learn and know, pointing her view with the innocence . She is just perfect for Bondita" 😃

Just agree the way you felt for Anirudh and saudamini!

@BI It's deplorable the way their character had been upgrated for you, because you were fascinated seeing ani and mini vm after that you followed bb ,maybe that's why you felt opposite (just a thought)

My point of view totally differs from yours ,lemme point my views

I saw this show after seeing the first promo which was totally different from daily soap "the sensible questions were thrown to the society" that's the way I got interested in this show, as I wasn't fascinated by Ani and mini or may be that's why felt the opposite as you 😉 from the start of the show I felt mini had some grey character which eventually proved 😆

Coming to mini character, if you noticed from the start of her scene they showed her to be a girl who is obsessed with her beauty and madly in love with Anirudh from childhood!

@gold childhood lover what does it even mean (A couple who should know about eachother's like dislike, understanding, compatibility)

In all these categories they fail to be called as childhood lovers as Ani was there at India when he was around 10 to 11 and mini used to be 6 to 8 they must have played together and ani was there through her tough times when mini lost her mother. I would say this as infatuation rather love!

As both doesn't know what their needs and ambitions,there wasn't any compatibility and understanding with eachother!

@blue agree he rashly takes decision and expect to accept those which is not fair but when no one ready to listen your point, literally no one ready to listen even once that why he did and why he took that step! Automatically he would take such decision in ignorant as he is just 19 to 20 yr old boy and his decision weren't wrong and mostly it is agreeable , his way of execution is not acceptable!

Saudamini isn't his fiance , they both had feelings towards eachother but never proposed! He planned for proposal that night , instead he got married to bon for the circumstances which occurred! So he doesn't have to answer mini but still he went to explain things to mini ( she was also not wrong with her anger)he just went to say what happened to that kid and that's why he had to take such drastic step without considering anyone! But no one listened him!

@bold True! their relationship were never equal , both of them are poles apart he imagined mini to be someone who help him with his dream where she wanted to get married and move to London! There is no understanding here ! So both are wrong in their own ,mini pretended someone to be infront of ani, Ani never understood what she wants from him! That's why I said it's not love ,it's just a infatuation!

And for mini it's a obsession to get Ani , obsession can never be true love! It will harm the essence of relationship!

@green Situation weren't favourable to think anything at that time, as he himself doesn't know he will take such drastic step... he was very much shocked of his decision as others were! That moment he wanted to save that kid by hook or crook! So he isn't blameable in this!!

@red I won't say he is worst as he comes under the #husbandgoals category 😳

His way might look wierd and forcible but it's for the betterment for his wife (bon is such a bossy wife won't listen to him in a single say, she sometimes make things hard for him 🤣) and he is just 19 what can we expect from him, he is also young to take responsibility of his kid wife!

He is learning with Bondita 😆

This is my pov of the show and about Ani , mini relationship and can't complaint on makers and writer's as they can't show in a exact way as real or without any grey character as it is a daily soap they need to add some masala and unnecessary drama 😊

the good part is that the writer and maker write in a way that all the social messages are been conveyed in a convincing and commendable way 👏

we BB'ians admire their writing for some scenario so we don't mind for some small mistakes 🤣

Hello Nushy😃 welcome to the forum

Agree with lalz you can staye your honeat opinion here and everyone would take it positively and give their honest view😆 There some things I agree about and some I don't

Coming to your post I agree on Bondita, she is indeed a wonderful character, and has that innocence of 8 year old intact and is not like preachy kids on many shows. She is probably everyone's favourite and no better than Aurra to portray her

She is such a cutie pie and of course a wonderful actress.

Coming to Saudamini's character, I don't think anybody blames or hates her because she wants to be appreciated by her lover or wants to settle abroad. Its not wrong. Nobody is hating her for that. But then she shouldn't lie to Ani about it right? Nobody forced her to support him. In her mind she mocks his mission but infront of him behaves like she supports him, isn't that wrong? She could have just told him she doesn't agree. Thats the main problem in Anirudh and Mini's relationship and many don't like their relation for this very reason that they both want very different things from life. They are very different people and both have some made up imaginary version of other in their head and love that person.

The thing is they just haven't spent enough time together to know each other that well.

Now what she is doing with Bondita is something everyone dislikes about her but mainly most don't like Animini because they relation just wouldn't have worked anyway. They would have drifted apart eventually.

Thats why many don't feel that much pain for them.

But all said and done, I do agree on the part that they shouldn't have made her completely black. They could have kept her character grey but the makers choose the easy way i guess.

@ brown Coming to Anirudh's character, Agree he has lot of anger issues, he makes decisions and forces it upon others and all and trust me we have discussed it here so many times, but that also makes him human. He is no way a perfect character but one can't deny that he is a very good question. His marriage to Bondita wasn't fair on Mini but then, what choice did he really have there? Its not that he married Bondita happily, it wasn't fair for him too.

He just wanted to explain things to Mini, he wanted to tell her that he didn't intend to cheat her, it was something he did out of compulsion. He was desperate for someone to hear him out. He can't just go about his life as if nothing happened na.

I agree he came to change the society after the Britisher insulted him but I feel eventually he would have choosen that route even if the incident didn't happen. Whatever it was he was honest with Mini about what he wanted. Supporting him or not was her decision but she just decided to pretend.

Coming to the question if he was already married, that is hypothetical. And the fact of the matter is he wasn't married

@ bold- I don't think I agree here although I do have issues with his character his marrying Bondita was not planned. He had to do it to save her life. But that itself is a very big thing. He could have just walked away but he didn't. And he also can't just become ok with it. And nobody is understanding and listening to him. It will take time for him to own up to his responsibilities. Thats why maybe he is always quite angry

And we shouldn't forget that he too is a very young guy who has hardly seen life. One can't expect him to behave in most mature way.

And any leader is not made in a day, he is one in making, someone who has a lot of learning to do

Sorry for the long rant Just giving my view on it.

Welcome to the BB forum 😊

Thanks a lot dear! 😊

"Aura is doing justice to the character Bondita, that kid is just awesome, she is just the way the character need chulbulisi, eagerness to learn and know, pointing her view with the innocence . She is just perfect for Bondita" 😃

Couldn't agree more. Be it her mother or Sampoorna or Aniruddh, the was she interacts - it's simply awesome. Which reminds me I forgot to add Sampoorna. She's a sweetheart. 😳

@BI It's deplorable the way their character had been upgrated for you, because you were fascinated seeing ani and mini vm after that you followed bb ,maybe that's why you felt opposite (just a thought)

It's possible. 😆 In fact, I read the comments in that thread and mostly the members were at awe with the way the VM was made, saying that 2 minutes video had more depth than their original portion had in the show. So I guess I had more expectation from Ani-Mini. 🤔

I saw this show after seeing the first promo which was totally different from daily soap "the sensible questions were thrown to the society" that's the way I got interested in this show, as I wasn't fascinated by Ani and mini or may be that's why felt the opposite as you 😉 from the start of the show I felt mini had some grey character which eventually proved 😆

TBH, I was surprised when I got to know about their angle because I still fail to understand why a love triangle is necessary in a social drama like this. As far as Mini is concerned, she didn't fall under the classic good girl category of ITV and I found her flawed. I could take grey too but post Ani's wedding, she has turned obsessive and pitch-black and I have issue with such sudden, extreme flipping. 🤔

Coming to mini character, if you noticed from the start of her scene they showed her to be a girl who is obsessed with her beauty and madly in love with Anirudh from childhood!

I beg to differ. 😊 I felt she was arrogant and proud but her obsession with beauty started after the wedding. I still can't believe she actually said stuff like Ani fell for another woman's beauty!

As both doesn't know what their needs and ambitions,there wasn't any compatibility and understanding with each other!

I agree.

@blue agree he rashly takes decision and expect to accept those which is not fair but when no one ready to listen your point, literally no one ready to listen even once that why he did and why he took that step! Automatically he would take such decision in ignorant as he is just 19 to 20 yr old boy and his decision weren't wrong and mostly it is agreeable , his way of execution is not acceptable!

Exactly! But ultimately execution is what that matters. I am not belittling his situation but even Bondita seems more matured to me as per her age than Anirudh. And he is a Barrister, that too the top of his class. So certain amount of patience and proper thinking was expected from him. I am not talking about the marriage part. Even the way he reacted during the Birthday Party, it looked like he was completely oblivious towards the norms of the society. Drinking matka-bhar paani can't essentially bring a change in the society overnight.

Saudamini isn't his fiance , they both had feelings towards each other but never proposed! He planned for proposal that night , instead he got married to Bon for the circumstances which occurred! So he doesn't have to answer mini but still he went to explain things to mini ( she was also not wrong with her anger)he just went to say what happened to that kid and that's why he had to take such drastic step without considering anyone! But no one listened him!

I am sorry but here I completely disagree with you. For me, it's the relationship that matters the most. Yes, I believe in the institution of marriage but just because you are not married to someone, it doesn't mean you are not accountable to him/her. Be it infatuation or love, he had a girl waiting for him for years. How is it justified that he took such a huge decision and then expected Mini would listen to him? 🤔

True! their relationship were never equal , both of them are poles apart he imagined Mini to be someone who help him with his dream whereas she wanted to get married and move to London! There is no understanding here ! So both are wrong in their own ,Mini pretended someone to be in front of Ani, Ani never understood what she wants from him! That's why I said it's not love ,it's just a infatuation!

Completely agree with you! They never understood each other properly. I don't think Mini ever pretended to be someone else in front of him; at least not before marriage. She was always vocal about what she wanted. Like the dialogue she had - Bolna Zaroori Nahi Hain Par Sunne Mein Accha Lagega!

But somewhere I felt, Ani just had this idea that Mini would understand his point like they did in their childhood without properly stating the facts. Certain incidents can leave a scar on your memories. Ani was horribly disturbed with the party incident but he never talked about it with Mini. How could she understand where he was coming from?

And for Mini it's a obsession to get Ani , obsession can never be true love! It will harm the essence of relationship!

At the beginning it didn't seem like obsession but now obsession is an understatement.

His way might look weird and forcible but it's for the betterment for his wife (Bon is such a bossy wife won't listen to him in a single say, she sometimes make things hard for him 🤣) and he is just 19 what can we expect from him, he is also young to take responsibility of his kid wife!

He is learning with Bondita 😆

He is definitely learning. 😆 Not to mention he himself grew up in a family without a mother. So it's next to impossible for him to understand a little girl's POV. But blame it on my 2020's outlook or the way they got married, right now they look like a couple who are both young and will be learning from each other and the circumstances. I would not imply the Husband-Wife tag because at this point I kind of find it creepy.

This is my pov of the show and about Ani , mini relationship and can't complaint on makers and writer's as they can't show in a exact way as real or without any grey character as it is a daily soap they need to add some masala and unnecessary drama 😊

I agree. Masala is needed. But a lot of the times the characters are made unreasonable and despicable. Like I said, Mini isn't a Devi or a character you would look up to. But she was a typical normal young adult. But the way makers have turned her longing or natural human bias into obsession - personally I don't like this.

And this is not just Mini in particular. Most of the times a third angle is introduced and butchered for adding Masala and glorifying leads. So this is one of the aspects of Indian Drama that I have serious issues with. I wish they focused more on the societal issues than Mini targeting Boni.

Hello Nushy😃 welcome to the forum

Thanks dear! 😊

Agree with lalz you can say your honest opinion here and everyone would take it positively and give their honest view😆 There some things I agree about and some I don't

It's not necessary we have to agree on everything. 😊 As long as it doesn't turn into a fanwar, I am always open for a proper discussion. 😊

Coming to your post I agree on Bondita, she is indeed a wonderful character, and has that innocence of 8 year old intact and is not like preachy kids on many shows. She is probably everyone's favourite and no better than Aurra to portray her

She is such a cutie pie and of course a wonderful actress.

Yeah! It's impossible to imagine someone else in Bondita's role.

Coming to Saudamini's character, I don't think anybody blames or hates her because she wants to be appreciated by her lover or wants to settle abroad. Its not wrong. Nobody is hating her for that. But then she shouldn't lie to Ani about it right? Nobody forced her to support him. In her mind she mocks his mission but in front of him behaves like she supports him, isn't that wrong? She could have just told him she doesn't agree.

Definitely! No one forced her to agree to Ani's words.

That's the main problem in Anirudh and Mini's relationship and many don't like their relation for this very reason that they both want very different things from life. They are very different people and both have some made up imaginary version of other in their head and love that person.

The thing is they just haven't spent enough time together to know each other that well.

Couldn't agree more. In fact, the 4th episode itself gave me a vibe that with or without Bondita, their relation wouldn't work. Because there was a serious gap in communication. Neither Mini tried to understand Ani's POV nor Ani paid much attention to Mini's expectations.

But I really wish they had shown that to be the reason for their split and not turned Mini into a full-fledged vamp.

Compatibility is a real issue. People end things mutually when they realize they want different things from life. Neither Mini was wrong in wanting a happy life nor Ani was wrong in trying to bring a change in the society.

It's the way the makers have chosen that irks me. 😡 😡 😡

Now what she is doing with Bondita is something everyone dislikes about her but mainly most don't like Animini because they relation just wouldn't have worked anyway. They would have drifted apart eventually.

That's why many don't feel that much pain for them.

But all said and done, I do agree on the part that they shouldn't have made her completely black. They could have kept her character grey but the makers choose the easy way i guess.

Exactly! The entire Ani-Mini relation looks unplanned. First they tried to portray it with the typical Devdas touch and now suddenly Mini is the new Komolika.

My biggest issue with such writing is that very normal human traits like desire, a bit of selfishness gets blown out of proportion and suddenly a rather realistic character gets blackwashed.

It's not just Mini but typically 90% of third angle/villain's fate in ITV.

So I have serious issue with this particular aspect.

Otherwise, I genuinely believe Mini's character should have gotten a proper, dignified ending within 20th episode and makers should have focused on real challenges rather than making her plotting against Boni. 😡 😡 😡

Coming to Anirudh's character, Agree he has lot of anger issues, he makes decisions and forces it upon others and all and trust me we have discussed it here so many times, but that also makes him human. He is no way a perfect character but one can't deny that he is a very good question. His marriage to Bondita wasn't fair on Mini but then, what choice did he really have there? Its not that he married Bondita happily, it wasn't fair for him too.

He just wanted to explain things to Mini, he wanted to tell her that he didn't intend to cheat her, it was something he did out of compulsion. He was desperate for someone to hear him out. He can't just go about his life as if nothing happened na.

Agreed.

I agree he came to change the society after the Britisher insulted him but I feel eventually he would have chosen that route even if the incident didn't happen. Whatever it was he was honest with Mini about what he wanted. Supporting him or not was her decision but she just decided to pretend.

I wouldn't be so confident about Ani but yes, Mini's pretense was not needed.

Coming to the question if he was already married, that is hypothetical. And the fact of the matter is he wasn't married.

Here I'll agree to disagree. I respect the institution of marriage but being in a relationship is as much as important to me. So I can't really overlook their pain. It must have been excruciating for Mini and in her situation, it wouldn't really matter what forced Ani to take such a drastic step.

I don't think I agree here although I do have issues with his character his marrying Bondita was not planned. He had to do it to save her life. But that itself is a very big thing. He could have just walked away but he didn't. And he also can't just become ok with it. And nobody is understanding and listening to him. It will take time for him to own up to his responsibilities. That's why maybe he is always quite angry

Great point! 👍🏼 It's possible.

And we shouldn't forget that he too is a very young guy who has hardly seen life. One can't expect him to behave in most mature way.

And any leader is not made in a day, he is one in making, someone who has a lot of learning to do

True! He has a long way to go. But a bit more maturity was expected out of him considering his profession and everything. In fact, Somnath seemed to be more matured in handling the situation. But then again, he was closer to Mini. So certainly he had better understanding.

Sorry for the long rant Just giving my view on it.

Why are you saying sorry? After all, I made this post to have a discussion with you guys! 😊

I came here to answer but then, I guess others did the work so!

PS: Glad you liked my VM.

Well, I would be honest, I am not much into VM. 😛 But I got really curious as you made it on the ML and villain. 😆 It was indeed amazing. 👏

I enjoyed it so much that ended up binge watching BB and Pranali's debut show. 🙈 🙈 🙈

Sorry! It's just that K is such an iconic character that I took her name as a reference. I'll remember it the next time.
