Hi,
I've just joined this forum & i must say that it's one of the best among the lot. I've followed BV since day 1& I've been following the discussions here for the past 4-5 months. Now that BV has completed it's 15 months today and almost everybody seems to agree here that storyline has gone downhill since Pratap's death (Although it's picking up now). So, i thought, why not divide the storyline till now in two parts (before & after Pratap's death) & pick up one character that stood out. Also we can include our favourite scenes from the show.
So, the story traces the journey of Anandi, but the beauty of this show is that even the side tracks of Gehna, Sugna & Phooli ( earlier Champa & Rani) are all so integral to the story. My favourite character from the show is Sugna, i know not many people will agree with my choice. Vibha is portraying the character brilliantly. She has eyes so beatuiful that one doesn't need to look beyond that, they simply speaks volume. She has expressed all the shades of sugna's character beautifully.
I think Sugna's one character that has evolved tremendously. From a carefree young bubbly girl waiting for her Gauna to a widow who has to remarry against her choice just to give legitimacy to her unborn child, the character has seen it all. Also, i like the way she bonds with all those around her, like she was equally loving and caring to both Jagya & Anandi. Rather she was at times partial to her kiddo Bhabhi. Though Pratap's death had brought drastic change in the character, but that was not unusual given the amount of trauma she had to go through.
But one thing i've to admit that I never liked Pratap😲 . That character had no substance, all he had to do was to secretely meet her. I always thought, that the kind of character that Sugna is, she deserved someone better. And THANKS to the CREATIVES, they brought the BEST(VIKRANT MASSEY)😆. Though their track moved too fast early on till their wedding, but i simply love the on- screen chemistry that sugna and shyam (VIKRANT & VIBHA) share. They surely make a cute couple.
As for my favourite scene from the show, there are so many like from initial episodes Anandi- Jagya weddding sequence, Sugna mixing Vrat katha with Newton's law while explaining it to anandi, anandi- jagya fights, Gehna's rebel against Maasa, Gehna confronting shyam, MS and Shyam's confrontation, the dream sequence of Shyam on their wedding night, Shyam's scenes with Anandi & Jagya at Market, Anandi's Parting scene when Jagya follows the bus, the list is endless.

nice post diatoms! and welcome to IF and BV section! I hope your stay is enjoyable here! my favorite character is gehna. this character has got an inner strength and dignity which shines thru even when she is down and out. she has ensured that her chauvinist husband doesnt touch her without her permission. in her circumstances that is commendable!
apart from gehna i also like bhairon. he is the most forward thinking character of the show. Under every circumstance you know he will stand up for what is right. But he is emotional and can be easily blackmailed by the people he loves. thats his biggest weakness.
among favorite scenes i dont remember a single one...but some incidents like gehna standing up to maasa and basant, suguna's scenes after pratap's death, jagya and others helping anandi to study, sumitra and gehna's bonding scenes.

Thanks Kshreya2002 ur encouragement.
ur the Ist one to reply to my first post, so u'll be special 4 me in this section.
As far as favourite character in BV is concerned i think , it'll be like choosing first among equals. Yes, after Sugna, Gehna is my favourite character, since she is the one who understands everyone. Bhairon is also good, but sometimes i do feel that his character along with Sumitra does have double standards. like, they were not willing for Sugna's Gauna with Pratap, but they happily brought much younger anandi home. Also as parents, i do find them faltering. they had no clue either about sugna's secret meetings with pratap nor about Jagya's misdeeds.
Sometimes i wonder wheather they only care 4 anandi? I may be wrong, but i find warmth missing from their relationship with either of their children.

I used to love Gehna's character, but in the last few months, they have turned her into a doll, who just stands in a corner and laughs or cries based on the situation. What a waste of a good character!

I don't think I have any favorites. I find that most characters are always leaning towards one extremity. Anandi used to be really silly, but lately she seems to have grown some senses. Bhairav and Sumitra are inconsistent. Suguna and Gehna are pretty ok. Basanth is actually become quite likeable, if you are willing to forget his past atrocites and raping Gehna. I actually like Bhago. She is so sweet and is much more practical than Khajan. And she really loves her family to bits.

Welcome diatoms... and superb post with nice evaluations...👏
I too agree Sugna is potrayed well, but my vote goes to Dadisa as well.. no other actor can ever enter her shoes...mindblowing acting by Surekha Sikri.... i became her bigggggg fan for just one scene- her reaction and calling for Sugna when she came to know about Sugna's pregnancy...mindblowing controlled acting... a standing ovation for her.👏
Yes, Pratap had nothing to do except meeting Sugna, his character is like that, he was just needed to make Sugna preggy so that the story could move forward😆
There are a lot scenes i like but just cant point one...😃
Thanks for the superb post and topic....😳

ur welcome diatoms. sumitra and bhairon do care for anandi but they somehow get caught b/w anandi and kalyani's blackmail/respect for her. plus sumitra is a very meek woman. but yes there is no excuse for them for ignoring jagya and suguna...they simply had no clue abt them. btw i wanted to add that as an actress surekha sikri is definitely the best among equals.
