I feel the makers never introduced a romantic relationship between anidita, but they did something else, they glorified them as a platonic couple, a platonic child couple, and thus glorifiedtheir platonic child marriage, and the people accepted it and in fact fantasized it when they should not have, exactly the reason why people were opposing theirmarriage annulment, some say that anidita as a couple is an emotion, and I don't understand what emotions do people have attached seeing a child as the wife of an adult, I started watching the show from the menstruation track and then when the crush track came, I noticed people bashing ani coz if not accepting bon as a wife, initially I thought people just want romance, but then I realized that max are rooting for a platonic pati patni relationship between them, which is still wrong, I was actually disturbed by the way people were kind of forcing ani to accept bon as his wife, but then I realized it was not completely their fault, the makers in the past did many many cringeworthy things, like in the hira mandi track glorifying bon as a suhagan, throwing sindur(what impact must it have been on 9 year old aura), and classic ani waking up from his child wife's prayers, the sita ram reference(why the hell is a child couple being portrayed as a pious relationship), and why the hell was ani so comfortable in calling bon his wife from hira mandi track till menstruation track(wasn't he supposed to be against child marriage from the beginning), i never had a problem with rudhita, but till the time they are not glorified as a couple, they could be shown as a bond, but the thing which hurts is that when all this happened which was obviously wrong, the people accepted it and praised it, but then when the makers actually redeemed their mistake, by showing ani refusing to accept bon as his wife, they have a problem with it, it was disheartening to see people saying we dont support child marriage, but anidita should stay on as a couple, so we cannot say the audience is innocent or are not at fault
@Bold - Makers showed one thing for a year, the audience who are okay with it watched it, those who weren't didn't. Now if the show takes a turn, won't the same audience complain? If the show, from the beginning stood by the concept of child marriage is wrong, they would have got the the audience of Balika Vadhu. But the makers themselves clarified how it was different and therefore got a different set of audience who were promised something else. The show was always about a husband making a wife barrister (and I won't argue about this thing). Now if makers change the concept, people would definitely question.
You yourself said you watched the show from the menstruation track and didn't knew about the previous things. So who are at fault? Makers or audience? Did audience wanted this from the beginning?
About saying them as a couple, this is a story of Ani-Bon from the 1980s. It would be better if we don't compare it with the 2020s.
See, the show portrayed a varied length of emotions and everything can't be expressed in words. Firstly, human emotions are complex and secondly not for a single moment anything it felt cringe, so a lot of people accepted this thing.
People who watched the show are familiar with the emotions and since you haven't watched it from the beginning, I understand you not being able to understand the emotions of these people. But the way we understand and respect other's opinions, why don't we get the same? Why don't we receive the same kind of understanding and respect of our emotions.
Also nobody here is forcing here anyone to watch the show. If you feel they are showing any kind of uncomfortable thing, you have the option to not watch the show. But we cannot force our opinion on someone. Others can like the show because as I said, there are a variety of emotions and not everything can be put to words.
