This topic was aching my heart for a long time now --the relationship of Ragini and Sadhna.
I went through a lot of topics on the forum. Some are pitying Sadhna while others are pitying Ragini. But what I personally don't get is why no one is pitying their relationship? The same Ragini and Sadhna, that could do anything for each other. The same Ragini who was worried for her sister, Sadhna on her wedding night. Sadhna, who did EVERYTHING she could to get her sister married to Ranvir. Sadhna sacrificed her happiness for Ragini.
I just feel, that Sagini's trust in each other is truly beyond those accusations or the fact of who sides with who.
DB tried to create a misunderstanding, and that even happened with Sadhna slapping Ranvir, but that was because those two were acting as wives of their respective spouses. I tried placing myself in Sadhna and Ragini's place during that certain sequence. I felt that what Sadhna did was right. She was worried about her husband, who is mentally unstable where as, Ragini was worried for her husband, who got blamed for nothing. But what is bigger then that is the fact, at how these two acted as sisters. Ragini as Sadhna's jiji is someone who would have understood how Sadhna was feeling and Ragini came across that only when Sadhna cried, feeling miserable about slapping Ranvir. So somewhere deep down, I felt that Ranjan Shahiji, portrayed the 2 characters beautifully and with intensity.
And a round of applause had to go to Ragini for standing up for Sadhna, against DB. That whole scenario was something I really appreciated. That told us, that after that one night, of that 'rivalry', Ragini and Sadhna's relationship got stronger. Somewhere deep down, I always knew, that Ragini and Sadhna would do something, separate, compared to the kind of relationship, Vasu and Ambika shared. Cus, I personally felt that Ragini and Sadhna were meant to showcase how differently 2 people can be, contrasting everything that happened to Vasu and Ambika.
Now, coming to the future track, I just feel that this track will make Ragini and Sadhna's relationship stronger. Yes, Ragini might misunderstand Sadhna and they might drift apart, but what will come ahead after that is much more intense. Ragini's miscarriage, --who will be blamed? Sadhna, why? Because the shock of Ranvir's prison will effect Ragini, --why? Because Sadhna witnessed against him. I feel bad for Ragini that she has to deal with a miscarriage and not have Ranvir there, but I feel equally bad for Sadhna. It will be HER guilt of making her jiji go through a miscarriage. So technically, why differentiate between 2 sisters, who are in pain? One cus of not gaining support from her younger sister, and the other, for making her jiji suffer?
After this, yes, we might see some sour ups and downs between the relationship of these 2, but won't that make their relationship stronger? Sadhna consoling Ragini, when she suffers a miscarriage (which I hope not) just for the sake, that they are sisters, and then, these 2 on a hunt to prove Ranvir innocent. Bidaai was all about the relationship of sisters, and how it goes through ups and downs. We saw phase 1 during RagVir marriage, and phase 2, some days back, and now, it's time for phase 3.
Please don't differentiate between the 2 sisters, because no one is at fault, neither Sadhna nor Ragini. Look at it practically.
Love,
