Since the serial has started i have read a lot of ppl adding comments on santo's age and her marriage with a much elder man. Understandably in the modern cities this is much frowned upon but the reality of India especially in rural india even in this day and age, this still does happen where an older man gets married to a much younger woman for several reasons whether right or wrong.
This has also been potrayed in bollywood. If some of you might remember the movie 'Waaris' that had Smita patil, amrita bajaj and how smita patil got her sister, amrita bajaj married to her own father-in-law. [And this story of waaris is actually a real story as well]
The point is, maybe Tv or movies show it a bit over the top but reality is it happens in india just not heard so much of in the cities. And we all who do not live in the villages have no clue what goes on there.
This is not to dis-respect all the folks adding their comments against this concept its just a gentle observation. At the same time none of what i say means that i agree with this huge age barrier.
I do feel its a lovely serial and people should enjoy the beautiful way a relationship between two individuals who were forced to come together through circumstances, how well their love and respect for each other develops.
Hope nobody is offended by any of my comments
