Newbie - Just Started

Hey All,

Well I haven't been active on IF for over 10yrs. I haven't watched Desi shows for over 8yrs. I was missing Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai as I adore Rupali. Just started watching Anupama. Well I don't watch Desi shows caz the romance is OTT, Family drama is OTT. I just finished episode 125. There have been moments where I was like hmm, but sadly I can relate a LOT to the show. The episodes.where Anu, sees V n Kavya getting intimate and having nervous breakdown, her panic attack where V kicks her out of room, and episodes till 125 from Anu finding them are the most Realistic moments n episodes. Especially when Anu had nervous breakdown , I cried caz I was remembering my own mother and family. V is the definition of Narcissistic Personality, very popular n common of what I have seen all my life (I don't want to say everyone). I see my moms hubby being that (yup I don't call him by his relationship name, many reasons). I was so happy to see how well the makers demonstrated everything, some may find it OTT, I found it Realistic. Anu standing for self was my mom in own ways. The Domestic Violence cycle was shown AMAZINGLY well. The mother in law may be a bit much but remember, Anu herself comes from 80's Daughter in law values, and I still hear stupidity from my friends mother in laws.All episode where kids belittle Anu, ashamed of taking her outside, Realistic. I am glad I stumbled on Rupali mam:s show other than SVS.

Also Pakhi reaction is why women live in toxic marriage it is all about children. I also feel guilty as I did hurt my mom on many occasions and I can relate to V's natural manipulation, n egoism. I can't speak about others buy I can relate to 90% of show, how I misbehaved n know how manipulation, blame game n relationships work, I was wrong too (guess thats enough disclosure)..

Welcome. I am very sad to hear about your mom.Hope she is in a better position now. Keep watching. Lots of good things to come up.

Hey More power to u & ur mom. Hope u both r well now. Kudos to u for putting out ur abuse on public platform. U r one brave soul.

I jst have one honest & humble suggestion. Pls dont keep much hope from show. I knw it is good at point u r watching. Bt from last 100-150 odd episodes its getting worst day by day. When we were expecting V to get punished & see his downfall, we r getting his whitewash & butchering of Anupama charactr. So to save u from future heartache & annoyance pls dnt get invested in it. As u suffered in real life show's intensity would be high for u so warning.

I dnt have any regressive/ abuse background or exp in real life still i got attached to it due to anuj kapadia & now I regret my decision big time. It took efforts to get out of my addiction. So request to u plss DONT get involved much in d show. It doesn't payback.

Hey buddy, just wanna say I understand you. And am glad that you do understand your mistakes and that you regret those. I know that mistakes are the first step to learn but I also know that there are some mistakes which stays with us till our grave and how we wish that we did not make those or if we can go back in time and correct those. I am hoping you and your mumma are doing well and at peace.

Am proud of you and your mom

take care of yourself and your mom
