Hi.,
I normally do not post for any shows but I became a forum member just to post for this show.
*1. This post may be lenghty.,please pardon if it takes your valuable time.But since you have asked for opinions I am writing my views spending so much of time.Please take time to read my views on female leads good acting skills under the reply for head*important*>
*2. I am not a feminist .,but yet.,this is one of the few shows where the female lead character is uprightly honest even though she had to pay a very heavy price for this.(like forced marriage ., landing in an asylum.,etc.,etc.,)
*3. In many other shows I find the girls always shedding tears(recently I got irritated watching Bhagya vidhata where the girl just cries.,cries and cries.,How long only God knows.! Surely one can be tolerant., but not get humiliated so much.I have stopped watching the show.
* 4 .Instead In Jeevan saathi I found the character of viraj very good.,where she gives her views whenever they are required.That is what a normal educated woman is. This is surely not arrogance.She was never afraid of speaking the truth.
* 5 At the same time she has been simple,caring,honest,affectionate and sweet.,believing in traditions and customs like most Indian women.,giving everyone their due respect.She is a blend of conservative and modern Indian woman.
*6.She has never ever tried to hide any detail about her from her husband. she has always respected him from the beginning no matter what he was.This makes the character well balanced.
*7. While like most of you I agree that Ishwar is the best onscreen husband.,I am not at all convinced with his hiding such a big truth from his beloved wife for whose sake he had earlier put his own life in danger.
* 8.Ishwar might have thought that even the slightest clue regarding his true identity might dampen his prospects of taking a revenge.,But
* 9.He must also accept the fact that the means that he chose are not at all acceptable to any normal simple wife.
infact like some one had said .,had Ishwar taken his revenge by his hard work and loads of luck I.,would have felt much better.
*10 While i fully symphathise with the fact that he lost his family in front of his eyes., I do not justify his shortcuts for taking the revenge.
* 11His dear wife had always stated that all she loved was his good nature and innocence.She never ever wanted any material comforts from him.,
*12. i feel he has let down his wife more than anybody else.,by hiding the truth.
*13.After all viraj has been very affectionate to him .She has completely adjusted for Ishwar(understanding his sign language etc,)
*14. Ishwar cannot expect his wife to digest his lies so easily.He has to realise that he has suddenly changed his nature.That is why viraj feels sad..,and that she is not at all at fault in longing for her old good natured husband **.If Ishwar thinks he is the same like before .,then atleast to me it is not so.**
*15. Becoming highly egoistic he should never forget the true love of his wife.,
*16. As far as the serial goes.I completely agree.,that Ishwar should teach his father-in-law a tough lesson. But.,
*17. Ishwar should clearly understand that only love and patience can win hearts.over a long period,and not hatred and force. This is not surely filmi dialogue.,but to me it is the everlasting truth.
*18.Such forced wins are only temporary.An eye for an eye would only make the whole world blind.
I know it would be very tough for Ishwar(because he had lost his family)
*19.But he has to do it for his good natured and sweet wife.
*20 I also liked Neils character very much.,But please do not confuse us further by bringing him again.I will lose the sympathy for the character. Let him go back to his country.He can do social life back home., and stuff like that Definitely not stick around viraj if he does so the respect for his love would decline in my mind.
. *21 I wish that the father in-law is taught a timely lesson.,
*22.Jignesh kumar should be taught a lesson too.
*23.I also feel happy for the female cast who are coming together and showing their inner strengthThat is great, instead of showing vamps.,and torturing mother in law.,scheming sister -in law., This is a big relief and welcome change showing all of them positively.
*****24. over all a well enacted and nice show with a novel theme of father-in-law.,son-in law revenge instead of the other way around. Though at times a bit exaggerated.,.,unrealistic.,but it is all drama.,and in dramas it is a little bit over the above always. .*****. To me there is nothing wrong in that.
*****25. Last but not the least viraj Ishwar must lead a long happy blissful married life.*****
I thank you for your valuable time.Hope to hear your views on this too.
Again pardon me if there is something which you do not like.
