Ok. No married woman would want to see ms being burnt I agree I felt a bit appalled at that too initially.. then I realised this is a serial and I feel thru this are showing that the old imlie has died with that relationship . Her ms, her belief is her identify, her life so this is like being reborn as a new person a strong independent woman who needs know one. The girl she was pre marriage.. I feel we will see more growth on imlie whilst seeing adI fight for her . Their relationship has to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix . Just my opinion
.. or it could just be that the writers like controversy !
RD, no controversy. I see that audiences are looking at it as burning the past, foreshadowing of a remarriage and the excitement of it..so looks like makers got what they wanted. The hype, the melodrama.
Imlie's belief confuses me now. Vishwas toot jaat hai toh dhaaga means nothing...agreed, but that dhaaga signifies a lot more. Again, this did not suit my sensibility. I am shocked at myself for the reaction I had for that scene. I am a maharashtrian and I am assuming in many other cultures, that thread holds so much magnitude..you do not burn an emotion, you remove it and let it go, if you have to.
I do not want to take this in any negative direction but Swaha of anything in a holy fire is too much of a disturbing ritual for me. The scene could have been poignant with her taking it out and keeping it near sita maiyya maybe. Because after all wasn't this Sita Maiyya ka aashirwad.
Again please do not mind my rant...it stumped me.
