I always tried to watch Bidaai and Yeh Rishtey...as a neutral viewer, but only to fall in more and more love with Sadhna's and Akshara's character, how calm and composed these two girls are, even when faced with the toughtest situation. Sadhna is composed and never deviated from the path of truth and her love never fell short even for those people who are mentally torturing her so much. Akshara is some one who knows that her duty is to bring happiness and colours to Nandini's life, and she will never deviate from that goal. Its not that Nandini is not loved by others, but Akshara is keen to have Nandini lead a life of confidence and be natural.
Thinking logical is one major aspect of my profession. I like to study characters and wait to find out whether my judgement comes out to be correct. One such is Ragini's character. Almost a year ago, I used to have discussions with my friends that Ragini will falter when time comes. I always found Ragini to be an extremely simple girl, but always a bit waivering like any average girl would do. and I feel that is what made Ragini a favourite, as most girls can relate to her. Sadhna and Akshara are two characters who are gold standards, people usually are not like them. They are too good to be believed sometime. They are ideal characters. But Ragini has been a character whom we can relate more easily, she thinks like an average girl, her dreams are like an average girl and her reactions to situations are also somewhat that any average person will do. I feel that is the uniqueness of Ragini's character.
Ragini is not expected to act and think like Sadhna, because she is an individual with her own qualities. Thats the reason, her frustration and anger in this incident is to some extent explainable and expected also. She might be tremendously hurt and might enter into a state of shock. What is not expected from her are certain stuff.... first of all, she is believing dear Mummyji and her mother that Sadhna was always jealous of her happiness. Secondly, the way she is interacting with Alekh, she is advising Alekh to bring back Sadhna, but at the same time, making it very clear that Sdahna does not matter to her....so she is again playing safe here, that she never want Alekh and Sadhna to stay away but....
Thus Ragini's state of shock can be justified, but is it expected from Ragini to utter dialogues what she is uttering about Sadhna. Is she really in a state of shock.... No Ragini, please come back to your senses, there are certain damages which once done can never be rectified...Ragini's character is a lesson for all people..
For me, Ragini was a character who could turn any direction and I must appreciate that this change in Ragini's character is very well sketched and very well acted ny Parul....
Sara and Parul... you both make Bidaai what it is....good luck to both of you///

Haan ... Ragini ko hate nahi ghalat samajhna chahiye ... ab har koi to Sadhna ke tara sach ka saath nahi de sakta ... is wajah se kisiko nahi ghalat samajhna chahiye!


Ragini is right in her place 👍🏼... because her adarsh have limitations. She is only thinking about her husband ... and her own life. She doesnt need Sadhna now ... its obvious. Her zameer although is trying to spoil it all, but she will tackle her zameer aur apna kam karte jaegi shayad. Abhi to aisehi lagraha hai!

Sadhna on the other hand is a different person, a whole different level. Uske saath Ragini ka tulna karna bhi to Ragini ke saath injustice hogi na ..


I think we should not worry whatever Ragini does. Its natural for her I guess. And absolutely no reason to think low of her!


Kiun hum dono ko ek tarazoo mein tolen? ... yeh thik nahi lagta!


Ab tumhi batao ... abhi Sadhna ka Ragini ke kareeb rehne se Ragini ka kya faida? Ragini ko abhi Ranvir, Vasu aur apni inlaws ke kareeb rehne se sabse zyada faida hai!... Ragini has her own problems...

And she cannot accept sach like this! This sach is too much for her. Sach accha lagta hoga kitaabo mein, nasihaat main ... bhavna se bhari hui meethi baaton main ... par this was too much! ... Aur sab koi Sadhna jaisa kiun hi ho? ... Mamaji kya kaafi nahi? ... ab Ranvir ko hi dekhlo, kaisa proud feel karraha tha!... I am sure no one will like it if Ranvir goes ahead for Sadhna and treats the miscarriage as an unfortunate accident once he knows its facts! ... Kiun bhai, he is Ragini's husband! Kuch ko similarity honi chahiye thi ya nahi?... really I understand!...

Ab Ragini is frustated on her miscarriage ... she needs to vent out! Who do you think is the proper person to went all this out?

But I also know that once everyone is good, and Ragini is back with Ranvir and Sadhna saves the day ... she will calm down and hug Sadhna! Also apologise as a sweet sister!!! ... and the sisters will be united .

It is true that I am disappointed on Ragini, but its my POV and I was thinking abit different about her. But now I feel, I should reconsider! Maybe there is nothing to be disappointed! ...

awesomeee post bani👏
tht is what i was saying the whole time too..neither is sadhna wrong, nor ragini. And ragini's acts can be justified since she's doing what an average or real-life-like girl would do. Both sadhna & ragini's characters r based on different things in my opinion...where sadhna's character is more like on the fictional side, & ragini's character more on the real-life side who most of us can relate to. According to me, these both leads r correct in their places.

Not at all blaming Ragini for being angry with her sister but finding it hard to digest certain uncalled dialogues.Leave miscarriage aside,but doesn't she know her sister at all when she was saying that 'you are jealous of my happiness dialogues'?

And looks like(in shock!)she is even separating Alekh from his wife when she herself is experiencing the pain of being separated from her true love!If nothing she should have at least understood that!!

Hmm...I am sure if I was in Ragini's place (God forbid), I wouldn't have turned into such a heartless, mindless and selfish woman all of a sudden. Not towards someone I've known all my life. Someone who thinks and cares about me more than myself! So in my opinion, Ragini is not acting like an average, real girl. And therefore, I do not support nor justify her actions. Sorry! :S

We can' always predict how we will react in these adverse conditions.It depends on that particular person's strength I guess.

Personally,I can't think of acting like that with my younger sister.Its hard for me even to imagine that.But then we haven't faced any kind of complicated situations in these 20 odd years.

May be her character doesn't have it in her to rise above when faced with situations like these.

On the other hand I don't want to believe that either cos pre-marriage Ragini was strong enough to know whats wrong,whats right!Its def post-mariage that Ranvir became her world and her God.Her identity has been reduced to just being Mrs.Ranvir Rajvansh!

Ragini's actions are justified till that she is bitterly hurt, but not with those dialogues that she is uttering for Sadhna not only to Sadhna but also to the other people about Sadhna, whether Vasu, Avni, Alekh... all these years that Sadhna had been a sort of curse for her and that Ragini did a lot for Sadhna, whereas Sadhna did not do anything and was jealous of her...this is solely not digestible...
