Zimmedari - A shield or a fallback? - Page 3

Ok...some things are not clear in this show,,,like how old is Bondita.. she’s got her period now..is she 12 or 13....and the show is moving at a pace much faster than our reality...so like how long are they living alone now before the new girl enters,..??? Some months ...then will Bon be closer to 14 then..Well at 13 or 14....teenagers ..do have their first romantic feelings and even relationships. I know of couples who started dating at 14 and eventually ended up getting married a few years later.. so we actually can’t say that Bondita will just develop a crush on Anirudh,..maybe she will actually fall in love with him if she is supposed to be 13 or 14...But this whole track just seems so unacceptable because they are using Aurra who’s only 9 or 10 in real life,..and she looks that age...she doesn’t look 13 or going onto 14.. I love Aurra but they should have changed the actress to get us a girl who looked 13 ..who looked old enough to get periods ..who had a body that was developing. Girls don’t get periods until their bodies change ...until e.g. they develop breasts etc...and they start looking like young women..Aurra still looks like a child because she is still a child...So sadly this track is not going to go down well...People who do not watch barrister babu regularly and just see clips are actually disgusted seeing a child displaying romantic feelings etc., I love the show and rudhita and want them together..I’m also upset about this new girl and the possibility that Anirudh will fall in love with her ..and yes ..I have expected Bondita to get her first romantic feelings after she started menstruating...but it’s not looking appropriate with Aurra because she still looks 9 or 10.🤷🏻‍♀️..

We, as a fandom, are quick to bash Ani whenever he breathes the word zimmedari when referring to Bon. But if we look closely, there is a pattern. Ani uses zimmedari as a shield or armour.

And to be fair, initially, that was all that Bondita was for him. Up until the HM track, Ani was genuinely torn. Bon was just a girl who he married because there was no other way to save her. And he did offer to take her responsibility without marrying her. And the bedwetting track was when he truly accepted it. Up until HM, their relationship was still new, and Ani had a load of emotional baggage, to begin with. As a result, Mini and Binoy found it very easy to use this zimmedari against him.

However, after their return from HM and Mini's exposure, their relationship grew by leaps and bounds, especially through the education and dhongi ma tracks. And Ani never called her a zimmedari again until the SR track.

Zimmedari 2.0, as it is called, received even more bashing. But cut the poor boy some slack, it is evident that Bon is much more than a zimmedari for him, but she is not his wife entirely either. Because in the 1920s, sex and children were an essential part of marriage, this cannot be ignored. Ani ignored it till Bon got her periods, but then it became impossible to ignore; society's vultures had started circulating.

The one thing we all know is that Ani has absolutely no romantic attraction towards Bon. And where I am concerned, as long as Bon is a child, showing any attraction on Ani's part will simply reduce the respect we all have for him. However, Ani currently has no words to describe their relationship. Emotionally, it is way past zimmedari, way past marriage, way past love as well. But physically, there is nothing. And socially, it makes this relationship an anomaly. And when this strikes Ani, he starts hiding behind the word zimmedari.

This new track will signal an evolution in their relationship. It won't make the world accept Rudhi's relationship, but it will make Rudhi, especially Ani, realize that it doesn't matter. What matters is that Rudhi know what relationship they share, accept it, revel in it, and grow in it.

I am sorry if I ramble, but I would love to know your views.

You have written down out Ani's POV so accurately 👏

It's so sad to see Ani being bashed for the zimmedari word, I mean all the sacrifices and hardships Ani went through just to protect Bon and make her life better can't be ignored... This post will really help in understanding what Ani went going through and why he had to use the word Zimmedari.

@UL - As everyone pointed out, this part is so beautifully penned down, I just loved it ❤️

@bold - Their relationship is beyond everything This line was heart-warming 😊

Amazing work 👏 Keep them coming 👍🏼

Thank you so much! ❤️ I wrote this post because of the Ani bashing going on the forum, especially in the EDT. I found his characterization to be one of the most realistic portrayals in the show, makes it a delight to analyse.
