Fire scene lovely..but fake?

OMG. The scene was so lovely.

Agreed uvalaw.. there are very young girls watching.. that is why this scene as well as the one where she cuts her hand bothers me.. you and I know better to put our hands in fire to just retrieve material stuff, I would understand if you are saving someone's life... I know for sure that when this epi comes in US and my daughter is sitting with me and watching, I will pause and explain the fiction vs. fact scenario... even though she will roll her eyes.. she openly tells me that the lectures I give her is always there in the back of her mind...

Yes, I too thought that she should have 3rd degree burns. But then again I am very aware that Choti Bahu is not a documentary about real life events it is a soap opera.
And hence it was wonderful to enjoy the scene as it was meant to be enjoyed.

if u ask me this kind of expression of love is really unreastic and dangerous for kids to watch on a medium like Tv .

Agree with all of you. The message was beautiful however they should have been more careful in the portrayal.

Maybe they trying to show Radhika as Sita and she volunteered to give the Agni Pariksha to prove to Dev or maybe Amma that she really loves Dev and can overcome any obstacle.

The Panditji compared them to Ram-Sita and Shiv- Parvati. I think this were the creatives are heading with these scenes.

I would have been happier if Dev stopped her by the time she had couple of bangles on her wrist. This would have made more sense cause the way she pulled out all the bangles the girl should have been in the hospital. In fact yest I was wondering if they will take some scenes from the movie Vivaah with 3rd degree burns.

Oh well, its just entertainment for mature adults... Word of caution, please, please don't show it to your young children.

I'm a parent with young children and I never watch any tv or movies with my kids unless it's a Disney flick. It's a personal choice...some wouldn't mind sitting with their kids and explaining why that girl is burning her hands or why that man is shooting that other man with a gun. The extent that tv's messages reach your children is based on your own discretion and what you allow to reach your children. Yes any kid who knows how to use the internet can find and watch anything they want, but again I think it depends on the parents. I don't blame CB's creators/writers/directors for portraying violence. It's a fictional show and meant to be a means of fantasy and escape for viewers. I'm sure all of us can come up with a long list of things that are unrealistic about CB. But you know what? I could care less that it's unrealistic. I watch CB to get some relief and escape from the pressures of my daily real life...the same reason anyone would go watch a movie or play a sport or take up a hobby: to get some relaxation and pleasure. I watch CB alone or with friends who share an interest for it. My husband has no interest in soaps and usually plays with the kids while I have my CB fix.

Hi Friends - On the reality or fictional of the fire scene whether it is good to show such scenes or not point, I agree with Sandeepa. We can't ban everything and CB is not the only show that is showing fiction objectionable for minor(young) viewers. It is upto the parents to decide on letting what the child to watch.

Thank you Sandeepa108. I have been wanting to reply to this particular discussion but just didn't know how to without hurting anyone.

You have put down my feelings word to word. Like you said -- to me CB is a form of escapism from our day to day activities. I record the show and watch it when my little ones have gone to bed. I don't know if this concept can be understood but when I watch CB it is solely 'my time' where it is just me, Radhika and Dev :), where I am not running around doing stuff for my family or thinking about work. It is fun to watch, it is fun to come to the forum to see what everyone is talking about and yes sometimes over analyse scenes and Dev's good looks. Not for a moment do I expect complete realism (realism to some extent-yes) from this show.

Like Sandeepa I too had to vent. Sorry guys!!! I too don't mean to be offensive just wanted to get it off my chest.
