When I read somewhere that Anupama and V had such nice chemistry in the first epi of this prequel I decided to watch. It was at my own peril !!!!🤢 😭 😡
Oh, I love Rupali's acting and was keen to see how she was dealing with her scenes.
But seeing her mouth such atrocities - amounting to that a woman's place is at home, if not in the kitchen only - with such a sweet face and an apparently totally understanding / accepting attitude not only made me super-angry but also made me realise that the makers REALLY HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD a thing about women's emancipation. And how to tell a story nicely.
They call it entertainment right from the opening screen - but it's sheer torture !!
And the story is such a lie already: there they show that Anupama is actually in love with V (can't write his full name, too angry), comparing their relation to Radha-Krishna
Whereas in the current track she was telling Anuj how her wedding day at that time went entirely over head and the days thereafter were actually one long drab. Meaning, no question of loving that chap whatsoever.
And V on his part also said in a promo that he actually did not love Anupama for he already had a girlfriend etc. blabla.
Then the precap of epi 2 shows her dancing away to glory on a love song to V - yuck yuck yuck 🤢🤢🤢
And then it said somewhere that Anupama gives up her idea of going to America because of her pregnancy. Never heard of giving birth to a child elsewhere???
WHERE, in Heaven's name, IS ENTERTAINMENT in all this rubbish??
I feel so sad for Rupali and gang that they have had to do such a dumb, nonsense, totally negative story.
The only redeeming elements in the OTT track of epi 1: Anupama's Moti Ba (that is, Bapuji's mom, na) and the lovely sari Anu wears to go to a party.
I am just curious to see how Anuj turns up at the show - then FF to the END....
