She is supposed to be a very sharp girl , so sharp , that inspite of not being allowed to go to school for three years after her marriage , she can top her husband's class after being tutored by him for a couple of months after their gauna . She's so intelligent , that inspite of not going to school regularly , she does her husband's and her sister-in-law's homework , and does it better than them .

She is also supposed to be a girl on the threshold of teenagehood , because she's twelve years in age , from what she told Abhishek Bachchan in the 2nd October episode , and , more conclusively , she has had her periods.

When , by all instances , Anandi is shown to be growing up physically , and when she's already so sharp mentally , how come , why is she made to behave as if she has the IQ of a not-so-agile jellyfish ?

Everytime some crisis happens , that is , everytime the crisis is not focussed on her or her and Jagya , this behaviour of hers becomes more marked . Obviously , because the creatives know that she and Jagya , they're the real attractions of the show , and so when the focus is on the other characters , they need to show them in some way or the other , and so they've hit upon this particular formula . How engaging 🥱

If she'd asked the same questions " Sasu-maa , bataiye na , yeh sab kya ho raha hai , sab itne gusse mein kyun hai " so on and so forth before the marriage , it'd have been acceptable . After all , she was only eight at that time [ though she didn't look it 😛 ] . But now , it's wholly unacceptable . People grow up with advancing years , not only physically , but mentally as well , but in Anandi's case , only the HGH seems to be active . I would have thought , with the tension in the household so palpable , she'd have refrained from all these questions , but no . Perceptiveness is a word alien to her dictionary .

I could have explained away her behaviour saying " But she's a little slow" , but , like I already said , her schoolwork speaks otherwise. I don't get it , what are the creatives doing ? In their own way , trying to enforce the stereotype that academically sharp people are dumbos in real life ? I take that as a personal offence X (

Jagdish is so much more perceptive than her , he understands that there's tension in the family , and more importantly , also understands that he'd do well to stay away from it . I dunno , either Anandi doesn;t see that there's tension , or she doesn't see that she'd better stay away from it . Not only that , Sugna will lash out at her and unleash all her frustration on her [ Anandi ] but still , she [ Anandi ] won't think bad of Sugna for it . Now , if this behaviour came from Tulsi Maiyya , I'd have understood it 🥱 but a twelve year old girl isn't supposed to be such a sati-savitri . No way .

If she has reallyyy had her periods , and if she's really growing up , she should become a bit more quiet , at least , if not more quiet , she should have more perceptiveness at least . Jagdish's behaviour is so much more understandable , he's moody , throws frequent tantrums , and is usually brusque with everybody.But Anandi , no . She continues to behave like a NSA-jellyfish , and I continue to shake my head with frustration at her , and myself , for still caring about the show .

Awesome post, SP!👏

I can't stop ROFL-ing over 'jellyfish'🤣🤣....I have to agree....they've made Anandi into this annoying and these days somewhat forced character always doing her 'chirpy' questioning routine....Despite being the face of this show, hers and Jagya's storyline is totally stagnating😕😕

Jellyfish is courtesy Bertie Wooster 😛 😆

You know , there have been times , when the focus moved away from AJ , Anandi was behaving in pretty much the same way , but that was only for some time , because sooner or later , they used to be back in the limelight with some track of their own . But haan , you said it , their storyline is TOTALLY stagnating , stagnating kya , algae has grown on it . Have you noticed , it hasn't moved a bit since the exam track , when Dadi-saa instigated J against A and after it got fixed , that's where it stayed . It's been , what SIX months : O

Psychos , all of 'em . Earlier they used to maintain a good balance , even when AJ were in the focus , they always used to show something or the other of the other characters...Sugna and Pratap's fixation with getting the gauna done , Gehna's rebellion 🥱 and so on...par ab toh it's only Sugna Sugna and Sugna .... I wouldn't mind so much , but for the fact that the kids are remaing just that , the KIDS . Noooo growing up =/ And here was me speculating about when" the hormones kick in " If I'm in luck , they'll show their teenage phase by the time I start working 🥱

I think the creators have made Anandi as the scapegoat for simplifying their show. In making sure their message is passed on even to the most simplest minded people, they have turned little Anandi into the MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS....her questions have such obvious answers that it comes out soundly silly and extremely annoying..
Within the serial, Gehna and Sumitra do a very good job of smothering and protecting Anandi from growing up. They condone her stupid questions and always pass it off as innocence.
Some people think that Suguna is rude to Anandi...while this is true to some extent, Anandi is also partly to blame. She is overly nosy in others business. She always wants to be the center of attention and the worse, when Daadisa asks her to go inside, for some strange reason, she turns into stone, leading to Daadisa yelling at her.
One of the best and the most appropriate dialogue for Anandi from Maasa : "Anandi is specially made by God to boil my blood " 😆

i think thats the problem...their story has stagnated and anandi has nothing to do. hence from time to time we have dadisa picking on her for a yelling or a beating when we are supposed to feel sorry for her.
one solution is to have anandi and jagya grow up...but then i guess the actors are to too popular to have them grow up.

haha love that one.. and love a few other observations in this post.. turns to stone when told to go inside, likes to be center of attention, asks dumbest of questions which im surprised people even attempt to answer, the way Gehna and Sumitra laugh themselves silly at her idiotic behavior (they sure needs some better entertainment)... I also get annoyed at the way everytime she says jaggya and then realises dadisa is around so mends it.. its getting too repetitive. Nowadays it has become predictible that dadisa will yell at her after a point of time.. like the time she went on talking about the computer with Shyam.. i was waiting for the moment dadisa cracks. 😊 The other day (when jagdish refused to take money from dadisa) why did she tell Jaggya to take dadisa's blessing before going to school.. have never seen him do that before... Anandi is like the annoying over smart kid.. she is always going around preaching things especially to Jagdish.. no wonder when dadisa came to hit her with a stick she said "hamesha toh gyan baatti firti hain" .. dadisa has the choicest words for her.. pretty bang on the spot.

🤣

i agree guys wid all of you..... Ur Jelly fish, alage comparisoins are took good

Anadi of late has most of dialogs end with asking a silly question r complaining abt jagya
her favorate passtime is bashing jagya...

Jagya shows more maturity than her..

Anandi is supposed to be "JACK OF ALL TRADES"

She is good in cooking,singing,dancing,studies....etc etc

but y she doest use her brains in comman things

She always opens her mouth @ wrong places @ wrong time, ulimately leading dadisa yell @ her

after all these days she must kno dadisa's behaivour

@ 13 nobody are in their so called "BACPAN"... n after geting he periods no girl asks such silly questions wid her parents

They have enuf sense in them to kno wats going on, n wat 2 speak wer
