If they wish to show widows getting proper education, they have ample chance of doing that with Phuli instead of Sugna, and the love track between Shyam and Sugna cannot continue indefinitely, and would ultimately be considered waste of good characters like Shyam and Sugna. and plus, showing Sugna falling in love with Shyam so early after Pratap's death would not only be insensitive, it would also be an insult to the love Sugna claims to have felt for Pratap, who died thinking of her, and their memories.

In my opinion, this track best suits the message that needs to be portrayed as such cases are very common in rural areas where awareness regarding premarital unprotected sex, and precautions like birth control pills, condoms etc have not yet evolved and hence, young girls remain ignorant of a variety of factors associated with unprotected sex. This portrayal is very essential to address this issue sensitively and if Shyam is shown accepting Sugna as his wife later on alongwith her child, then it sends a positive message across that one small mistake need not mean a life sentence for a young innocent girl who gave in to her curiousity and love for her husband. It would instead show that there's nothing wrong in accepting such a person, and still have a healthy relationship.

That in itself would bring the viewers' attention to the fact that if Sugna had not been married at an early age, then she would probably not have allowed herself to be susceptible to her lover's wishes who was also her husband. In her mind, the thought must have been there that "we are already going to be married and plus, he's my husband, so this should not be considered as wrong, and is only an expression of our love together."

Bhairav is right to blame himself for this because he got his daughter married at such a young age.

If any need regarding the positive aspects of education for widows need to be shown, or anything else, they have Phuli for that, who most obviously cannot be expected to be used for the message regarding premarital sex. She was shown getting educated, getting saved from a marriage to an older man, and the myth that widows are unpure and abshaguni has also been broken through her. It is not necessary to show Sugna doing the same.

She can instead be shown fallin in love with Shyam cuz of his goodness and noble nature, where he accepts her even with someone else's child, and shelters her. That would be much more apt considering that its just been a few months since Pratap died and she was madly in love with him. A general love story with Shyam would not have been very appropriate in this case.

Premarital Unprotected Sex is a very important subject which needs to be brought out in the open, especially in the rural areas.

And in my opinion, the creatives have the right idea regarding this

i feel the creatives are right on track. now suppose they just show us that suguna is going to school and slowly, she starts falling in love with shyam and they end up marrying. The only positive msg that gives is, widows have the right to education and they can remarry.
Now the msg that widows/girls have the right to education was already shown by sending phooli, suguna, lata, durga to school. they showed it beautifully. bhairav sends suguna to school.... villagers oppose...bhairav stands firm...rest of the villagers understand their mistake and send their daughters too.
Next msg of widows standing on their own feet and then a marriage.....if the creatives want to show that track, they have phooli. They need not have to use suguna for that.
Now if they show, suguna falling in love with shyam and she is waiting till she completes her education n till then they r shown romancing....it will be a complete waste to the characters of shyam n suguna. How long will they show them romancing, how many romantic scenes. So if they want to end the story of shyam n suguna in goody-goody way..like they lived happily ever after, they have to take a leap and show that suguna has completed her studies and shyam is a successful person n they marry....However as i said bfore, if this is what they want to show, they can show it thru phooli.
Now comming to the pregnancy track. I feel it is a realistic portrayal...there r chances that in such cases of child marriage teens will engage in sex bfore marriage and now they r showing, the she has become a widow and now she has to face to world as an unwed mother. I think, they want to show the problems that can occur if the child is not given sex education (actually they have already shown- with suguna being pregnant) and the our society esp the rural areas are so brutal to these unwed mothers. It might also show, how suguna stands up to these....fight the society. Moreover, they showed a brilliant msg y'day thru bhairav saying that it sonly bcos he got her married so early, they this problem has come up.
And if they show shyam supporting her thru all these and finally accepting her as his wife n the kid as his, it will give out the msg that, there is nothing wrong in marrying such a girl..Conversly u are helping her, n u can have an happy family. Our society/movies/serial have usually shown a step-mom accepting the kids as her own, the man as her husband. So why can't it be the other way round... can't a step father love the kids just like his own , wldn't he be able to accept the woman as his wife
